Vetted Mentors

“Early major technical hire who helped build fintech startup Ugami from MVP to near Series A, while supporting bridge round and Series A fundraising with technical materials for leadership. Also grew from intern to lead engineer at a venture-backed product shop, giving him firsthand exposure to investor expectations, startup incubation, and practical AI opportunities with tight scope and strong unit economics.”

“Operator and fractional COO who thrives as an early-stage builder: she joined a coaching company as its first full-time hire, built the full operational backbone, and helped scale it from $20K monthly revenue to seven-figure annual revenue for three straight years. Her background blends hands-on startup execution across HR, finance, fulfillment, and systems with prior experience supporting technical product builds in healthcare and a Silicon Valley agency working in metaverse, AR, and gaming.”

“Music editor working primarily in Pro Tools with experience on a feature film where they pivoted the soundtrack approach mid-post (from era-appropriate to character/energy-driven), shaping the opening sequence with a bold mix of styles while preserving dialogue clarity. Also edits for YouTube, using audience retention patterns and producer feedback to iterate quickly, delivering consistent mixes via reference tracks, loudness checks, and clean, pop-free edits.”
