about
vision means nothing if no one understands it.
i didn't start making content to build a following. honestly i just had something to say and the internet was there.
When I was 13, my sister lost her hearing. I taught myself American Sign Language so we could still talk, then I started posting about it on TikTok. By 16 I was verified, signed to a talent agency, and making money from livestreams.
That was my first lesson in something I'd come back to over and over: when you're clear about what you stand for, the right people find you.
Then I came to Boston for Northeastern and ran IDEA, the university's venture accelerator. 500+ student founders. $100K+ in grants. I started Boston's biggest college pitch competition. And the same pattern kept showing up: brilliant founders with ideas that could change everything, who couldn't get anyone on board because they couldn't tell the story.
That was the same skill I'd been doing since I was 13. Figuring out what someone is trying to say and helping them say it in a way that lands. I just didn't have a name for it until later.
Now I'm at FoundersEdge, a $15M preseed fund backing AI-native startups. I screen hundreds of deals a month and sit in pitches every day. The best founders aren't the smartest or the most technical. They're the ones who can make other people care.
If you're building something and you can't get anyone to care about it yet, that's a solvable problem. Let's talk.
what i think about
founder communication
you have an idea and nobody gets it yet. that's my whole thing.
the messy middle
the part where nothing's working and everyone else seems to be winning. yeah. that part.
creator-founder crossover
building an audience while building a company. same muscle, different reps. been doing both for 10 years.
behind the curtain at VC
i sit on the investor side now. spoiler, it's not your TAM slide.
