“I felt so directionally lost and lonely. I needed someone to step in and get the wheels back on the car again. You not only put the wheels back on—you washed it, did a full tune up, and made sure I was in the driver’s seat and had the confidence and skill to drive it. You also pushed that car up the hill with me, making countless intros with bold enthusiasm. I wish you could feel the emotion in the back of my throat as I write these words. I’m clearly over the hump of a rainbow that I can recognize now as a rainbow. You gave me that. Thank you.”

Your Unfair Advantage
My talent lies in seeing beyond the pitch deck to simplify the complex and assess the opportunities, while mitigating the risks.
After 25+ years in commercial real estate and $10B+ in deals financed, I've invested in about 30 startups as an angel investor while helping founders raise millions through my direct approach to fundraising strategy.
I deliver what anxious founders need most: a direct and no-nonsense approach, plus the resources and connections that build genuine confidence in their ability to fundraise and scale.
"Katie has exceptional business acumen and a talent for rapidly understanding startup models. When reviewing my VC pitch, she instantly spotted the weak link in our narrative. She helped me workshop it in real time and clarify exactly how I can improve my storytelling. Working with someone who can diagnose and strengthen your pitch so quickly with little background on your company is incredibly valuable. We also talked through VCs whose thesis likely aligns with what we're building, shortcutting my research process for warm intros."
