"Your advice on a pitch deck and strategy was the best advice I have ever received – and I finished three startup accelerators" – a favorite feedback on my mentorship from a friendly healthtech founder.

I know how to build startups (6+ years as a founder – ImmunoMind, TensorPad), what investors want from startups (3+ years as an investor – Berkeley SkyDeck, Alignment Ventures), and what common mistakes to avoid (3+ years as an advisor to AI startups).
