30-year background in both start-up & larger scale business development. Significant start-up experience in my own ventures – including idea generation, strategy, business plans, financial forecasts, financing, contract negotiations, sales, and operations. Able to see, from the entrepreneur’s perspective, what it takes to get a business from the idea stage through funding, implementation, and growth. Hands-on management experience in a wide-breadth of industries, from media through technology, bringing an unusual perspective to new venture formation. Proven ability to form and execute business ideas. Uniquely qualified to counsel both entrepreneurs and existing business in all aspects of strategy and approach. Fast, responsive, great listener and sounding board. I will stick with you until the job is done. I am especially good at critiquing business ideas, business structural analysis, revenue models and honest advising (sometimes the truth hurts!). I can quickly generate investor-grade business plans, financial models, investor presentations, and private placement memorandum drafts. Experienced in raising capital at all levels including friends and family, banks, angel investors and venture capital. I can quickly grasp your business concept and help you. Experienced advisor for many startups and individuals. References available. Initial phone consultations are free. If you like what you hear we can move forward on an hourly or project basis.
