The Plan. The People. The Push.

A boutique venture studio where I partner with bold tech founders and B2B brands to scale with the right people, the right plan, and the push to grow.

From C-suite hiring and go-to-market strategy to LinkedIn visibility and investor readiness - I embed with only 2–5 companies a year to go deep, not wide.

⚡️ Built for:
✔️ Tech scale-ups
✔️ B2B brands ready to be seen
✔️ Founders building with urgency

I also lead The Influence Sprint, which is a fast, focused LinkedIn growth track for founders and brands who want real visibility and inbound deal flow (not fluff).

Let’s build something people can’t ignore.
