“Former tech professional and repeat founder who previously built Promote.co, pitched a marketplace-focused ad platform to Expa Ventures, and raised capital to build the product. Has spent the last two years independently developing and using stock market strategies, and is now looking to return to tech to solve meaningful, difficult problems.”

“Mission-driven founder at the pre-seed stage with a fully developed business plan, validated concept, and defined business model. They demonstrate strong early-stage startup judgment through demand validation, scalability assessment across repeatable use cases and multi-city expansion, and informed familiarity with VC, studio, and accelerator pathways while preparing for first outside capital.”
