About

I’m a deep tech entrepreneur and engineer, and co-founder of TextCortex AI, an assistant used by millions of people to build their “second brain” for writing and knowledge work. Before TextCortex, I built and exited ventures in areas like spatial computing and energy storage, so I’ve lived the full founder cycle from zero to exit more than once.

If we work together, I won’t give you generic startup advice. We’ll zoom into your specific situation your product, your funnel, your constraints and design simple, pragmatic experiments you can run immediately. I can help you go from idea or prototype to something people actually use and pay for, and I especially enjoy working with technical and first-time founders as well as people transitioning their careers into AI/startups.

I’m direct but supportive: I’ll celebrate wins with you, but I’ll also challenge your assumptions, ask uncomfortable questions, and push you to focus on what really moves the needle. Come with real problems, an open mind, and willingness to execute between calls, and I’ll show up with hard-won lessons, honest feedback, and concrete next steps.
