For VCs & Accelerators
Founder Coaching for VC Firms & Accelerators
Portfolio-wide peer mentorship, founder onboarding, and alignment programs — so every founder you back gets an edge.
Programs for funds, platform teams, and accelerator cohorts
I coach founders and CEOs backed by:
Platform Coaching
Coaching as Part of Your Platform
I partner with venture firms and accelerators to build coaching into their platform: peer mentorship programs across the portfolio, structured onboarding for newly funded founders, and alignment check-ins for accelerator cohorts.
Your biggest resource outside of capital is your founders — and the network effect they can create within a portfolio is usually left untapped. It’s part of YC’s secret sauce, and it’s an edge you can build into your portfolio too.
Program 01
Peer Mentorship & Cohort Masterminds
When we partner, I design an engaging but lightweight program that gets founders talking to — and supporting — one another, while staying focused on their own ventures. Founders with real peer relationships have somewhere to turn for professional and moral support on what is otherwise a stressful, often lonely road. That belonging shows up as founders who are more focused, empowered, and motivated to build.
Peer Mentorship Programs
Founders across the portfolio connect and support one another — sharing insights, resources, and advice, and backing each other up when the road gets rough.
Cohort Masterminds
Curated groups built around industry, role, or funding stage — and not just founders: C-suite and VP-level leaders in your portfolio companies get the same edge.

Founder Onboarding for Small Funds & Solo VCs
When you run a small fund, you care about every founder in your portfolio — and every dollar has to go further. Coaching founders, I’ve watched the same gaps and blind spots slow first-time founders down after their first major check — wasted time, wasted money, stalled momentum — especially at seed and Series A.
I partner with solo VCs and small funds to onboard newly funded founders with a structured audit across:
- Company organization, roles, and responsibilities
- Co-founder relationship health and effectiveness
- The transition from scrappy, do-everything founder to scalable manager
- North Star metrics and OKRs — established or refined
- 360° feedback on leadership and company culture
- Gaps and inefficiencies across sales, marketing, product, and engineering
Program 03
Alignment Check-Ins for Accelerator Cohorts
A founder going through an accelerator faces a lot, all at once — and the check-in that usually gets skipped is alignment. Simply put: do the founder’s desired lifestyle, work ethic, and personal, professional, and financial goals actually fit the venture — and the funding route — they’re pursuing?
The tighter a founder’s alignment, the more committed, productive, and motivated they’ll be. That means a stronger batch, and better outcomes for the accelerator and its founders.
Who You're Partnering With
The best investments come from motivated, committed founders.
I’ve sat on the founder’s side of the table: I co-founded Omni, a San Francisco consumer-logistics startup that raised $35M+ from Highland Capital Partners, Ripple’s founders, 8VC and Founders Fund. Since 2019, I’ve coached nearly 200 founders — from YC alumni to accelerator cohorts — across the US, Canada, East Asia, and Australia.
Tell me about your fund and the founders you back — I’ll come back with a program built for your portfolio.
