"Our founders were raving about your talk!"

Matt Hanson
Sr. Partner, PAX Momentum

I’ve spent decades boiling it down. I love to get up and lay it out. Got a group of founders who need help telling their story? Contact me for high-energy and engaging keynotes, workshops, panel discussions, webinars, university lectures, and podcast interviews.

Small-group education

My educational webinars to many of the country’s top startup communities are regularly some of their highest-rated programming. I spend the time to review each participant’s company and materials to create popular topics including:

Conquering Startup Communications & PR
Let’s Talk About Your Pitch Deck
Startup Website Teardown (and build-back-up)
