I am a storyteller, equity-holding startup advisor, and lifetime student of human decision-making. The Founder of New York Angels calls me The Essential Storyteller. The founders I work with call me a magician. I will let you decide which one is more accurate.

I wrote The Story-Stage Founder's Guide to Startup Pitching specifically for founders like you. Founders with bold ideas and real conviction who watch investors glaze over before slide three. The book is packed with real-world examples, founder-tested scripts, and zero jargon. It exists because most pitch decks fail not because the business is bad but because the story is wrong.

Most founders focus on features instead of the future. On today's facts instead of tomorrow's vision. On what their company does instead of why it matters.

I fix that.

What You’ll Get

In our session together I will work with you directly to:

• Find the one story your investor pitch is missing and build it from the ground up
• Restructure your deck around how investors actually evaluate opportunities, not how founders think about their product
• Build the opening that makes them lean in before you reach slide two
• Frame your market, traction, and ask in language that converts doubt into conviction
• Handle the questions investors ask but never say out loud
• Leave with a pitch that is clear, compelling, and unmistakably yours

My goal is simple. I help you build a business story that holds attention long enough to get to YES.

Who This Is For

Pre-seed and seed stage founders preparing for investor conversations who know their business but struggle to make others believe in it as much as they do.

Format

One on one session with slide by slide feedback and story restructuring.
