Validate Your Ideas and Find The Right One with

If you have a business idea, or even multiple ideas, it's crucial to get validation and support to ensure success. Brainstorming with someone who can question the sustainability of your ideas can be incredibly helpful in organizing and laying the foundation for your big startup. Additionally, branding yourself or your business is essential to stand out in the competitive world of entrepreneurship.

When I started my first business, I was in a similar position. I had many ideas but needed guidance on which one would be the most viable and well-suited for my skills and goals. Through a mentor I found during my leadership course, I gained a better understanding of my own DNA as a business owner and received valuable advice on executing my final idea.

If you're looking for advice, direction, and clarity as you take your first leap into entrepreneurship, I'm here to help. Let's talk and work together to ensure your business has a solid foundation for success.

I coach entrepreneurs and startups to avoid any roadblocks and build businesses that succeed.

I have been a Round 2 judge for the ABH 2025/24/23/22 (Jack Ma Foundation). This has helped me have a deeper understanding of what investors are looking for in startups across the globe. A lot of valuable learnings that I can pass on.
