Why are you passionate about working with startup founders?
Having raised $2m+ twice I have learned hard lessons about the right investors. I believe the founders are the heroes of growing our economy and I want to help them make the right decisions about bringing on external capital.
What experience do you have working with startup founders?
I understand the personal stress of founding. Have started mentoring through NZ Business Mentors so developing experience with mentees. Also have access to frameworks for scaling purpose-led companies for new founders.
