Key Strengths

  • Consistent high-volume outbound sourcing (30–50 founders/week) across email, LinkedIn, and warm intros
  • Thesis-driven, highly tailored founder messaging that converts cold outreach into calls
  • Ability to originate proprietary opportunities and drive them through the full funnel (outbound → call → diligence → IC-ready work)
  • Strong SaaS diligence capability (retention, cohorts, LTV/CAC, unit economics) and operating model building
  • Long-cycle relationship nurturing with founders not actively fundraising, adding value via market insights and monetization/pricing perspectives
  • Disciplined pipeline management with clear stages, next steps, and follow-up cadences; decision-oriented partner updates
