For VCs & PE Fund Partnerships
Thanks for your interest. I work with several top-tier funds to support their founders and am always open to thoughtful, long-term collaborations.
Here are a few notes to answer common questions:
- I work exclusively with Series A–D founder CEOs
- My coaching is for CEOs only (not co-founders or leadership teams)
- The average size company I coach is 150 people—minimum size is 20.
- I only accept applications made directly by CEOs (not via VC referrals or EAs)
- I typically partner with funds by running workshops at founder retreats
- Learn more about how I work with CEOs, including testimonials from current and past clients
- Recent partners include Insight Partners, Point Nine, Partech, Beringea, and Connect Ventures
If you're a fund partner looking to support your founders, feel free to reach out using the form below.

I read everything that comes through—and if it’s a fit, someone from the team will be in touch.
Tip: If you send a <1-minute Loom instead of asking for a call, you’ll hear back faster.
