About this session
For mentees in my Lite or Standard plans, who want to have an extra session during the month.
Your mentor
Building a startup can feel overwhelming when every decision appears urgent: validating the market, defining the product, finding customers, building a team and preparing for investment.
I help early-stage founders identify what matters most, challenge assumptions and turn uncertainty into a clear and actionable strategy.
Over the past 8+ years, I have built and led ventures at the intersection of technology, health, education and culture. Alongside my work as a founder and operator, I mentor entrepreneurs, advise startups and evaluate investment opportunities as an angel investor.
My experience combines the founder, operator, mentor and investor perspectives. I have launched and developed ventures including Clynx, Lampsy and Gleedot, worked with founders across multiple industries, supported startup and innovation programmes, and assessed early-stage companies through angel-investment networks.
I can support you with:
– Market and problem validation
– Business model and positioning
– Go-to-market strategy
– Product and growth priorities
– Pitch decks and investor storytelling
– Fundraising strategy and investor readiness
– Founder decision-making and accountability
My mentoring style is practical, direct and highly personalised. I will not simply agree with your ideas—I will help you test them, identify blind spots and leave each session with clear next steps.
This mentorship is particularly relevant for first-time founders, early-stage teams and professionals transitioning into entrepreneurship.
