Who

After having an idea for an app and drawing the wireframes on my bedroom floor in New York City, I grew my first startup to an audience of 5 million millennials. I launched with 180,000 users on Day 1 and became a 2x author with Penguin Random House and Simon & Schuster. The startup’s book to film rights were scooped up by Greg Berlanti/Warner Bros. Now I back outsider founders and tell their stories, because they push the limits. I have spoken at the United Nations, Techweek, and Princeton, and appeared on CNBC, CNN and Good Morning America. I am on the Board of Pride Live, and Advisory Boards for several VC firms and many startups.

Launch Strategy

We collaborate with founders and VCs to increase perception and valuation during inflection points like launch, fundraising, and acquisition.
Communications + Brand Amplification

We effectively build your communications and content strategy, including top of funnel acquisition, key media, and audience.
Growth + Strategic Partners

For founders and VCs who are fundraising we make strategic introductions to funding partners, host LP/investor dinners, and align you with growth partners.
