Hi! My motto is think different and build things. I coded my first web software in the mid-90s and had my first successful exit in 1998. I’ve spent my entire career building software products, for my startups and others, including a stint as one of the first Lead Systems Engineers at Zynga- the fastest-growing Silicon Valley darling of its time. As an investor, I led an angel investment in Mayvenn (https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mayvenn) which has gone on to raise $76M from top-tier VCs like a16z.
More recently I built and growth-hacked an iOS video editing app to 250K+ downloads and raised $230K+ from 600+ investors in a pioneering pre-ICO crowdfunding campaign (https://startengine.com/zen)
My goal is to help tech entrepreneurs scale faster and smarter than I did by listening hard and sharing hard-won lessons. I'm a multiplier effect for your strategic thinking and creative problem-solving.
I understand the challenges of being a solo entrepreneur or working closely with co-founders. It's likely that I've faced similar obstacles to the ones you're currently experiencing, whether it's validating your idea or acquiring your first 100K users. If I haven't, I'll let you know. I won't waste your time or mine.
I encourage you to try before you buy. Let's start with a free introductory call to determine if we're a good fit.

Frank's mentorship has been beyond exceptional and anything I could have expected. I've benefitted greatly from his guidance, and his advice has been pivotal to the progress of my startup. Without Frank, I would have most likely taken a much longer route and more time trying to figure out many facets of developing my own startup. He's been incredibly encouraging, and has been like a wise big brother to me in his approach - which suits me because I prefer a more personable mentor! But Frank also does not shy away from giving you tough love when needed. All in all Frank has been phenomenal, and as my team and I sit excitedly at the precipice of launching our product, I know that having Frank in our corner gives us a much better chance of success. I very highly recommend Frank.

Frank has been an amazing mentor! I was still in the ideation phase and was feeling a little frustrated with the ambiguity of how I should proceed to implementing an MVP for my idea when I started working with Frank. He took a lot of interest in trying to understand the problem space and really helped me define my assumptions and ideas better. I liked his clear communication and his honest and precise feedback. He also provided me with some great resources and suggestions that enabled me to progressively gain more clarity with my ideas and with what I needed to do next. I would highly recommend Frank to other aspiring entrepreneurs. I found him insightful and very helpful with a wealth of experience to draw from.
