I teach courses for student founders at Duke University and the Fuqua School of Business.

My courses combine traditional lecture with hands-on implementation – students learn about core business concepts and apply them to their startups in real time.

In 2024, my co-instructed course on scaling startups was named a "Favorite Course of MBAs" by the leading business school website, Poets & Quants.

I advise pre-Series A startups on fundraising, hiring, team development, and customer success.

At Duke, I serve as an Expert in Residence in Innovation & Entrepreneurship and advise students on how to strategically grow their businesses.

Outside of Duke, I serve on the board of Set4 and offer 1:1 advisory services with a limited number of pre-Series A founders and teams.

I'll help you land a founding-team role by understanding your situation and then making a small number of direct, high-conviction introductions when there's an obvious mutual fit.

I also source, vet, and recommend candidates for founding-team roles at startups across all stages and industries. Typical engagements are contingency-based and fully customized to meet your needs and situation.
