- Trust-building through radical transparency with investors (no traction inflation; clear about product stage and gaps)
- Strong discovery framework for founder/operator conversations (problem, founder motivation, approach, market) with listening-first style
- EdTech domain insight, including adaptive learning, math learning products, and school district/teacher buyer dynamics
- Structured pipeline management and clear weekly reporting (activity, insights/patterns, priorities/next steps, look-ahead)
