If you're a founder building something from absolutely nothing, that's a huge win. It takes courage to bet on yourself and go for it.

Most people never get started at all.

Most always focus on what could go wrong.

Most wish they could take a swing like you.

Give yourself more credit. You're doing great.

Remember that and keep going.

Startups are really hard.

That’s why most people never build one.

Luckily you don't have to be like most people.

Keep going.

Sometimes bad stuff is going to happen as a founder.

You’ll wake up to bad news.

You’ll have a month that breaks you a little.

That’s part of the game.

Get through it and you come out stronger.

Better and more dangerous.

Keep going.

It’s easy for founders to forget how lucky we are.

We get to build what we care about.

Solve problems that matter.

Make customers happy.

Work with people we enjoy being around.

We really do have it made.

You don't need a “disruptive” idea to launch a startup.

You don't need to reinvent a market.

You don't need to create a new category.

You don't need to build a billion dollar valuation to be successful.

You 100% do need the courage to just get started though.

So please go for it.

Turning LinkedIn into a Fundraising Engine for Nonprofits | Keynote Speaker | Investor | Husband & Father | 2 Exits |

I spent years building and scaling companies, raising investment, and developing partnerships across different industries. What I learned is that growth always comes down to one thing: relationships.

When I started working with nonprofits, I noticed something that changed my direction. Many organizations were approaching corporate partnerships as sponsorship requests rather than co-created impact. The conversation was transactional, so the funding was short term.

So now I help nonprofits secure meaningful corporate partnerships and long term funding through a relationship first strategy. I also train nonprofit consultants who want to deliver this framework with their clients.

My work at Impact Circle focuses on:
• Building partnership pipelines that are based on alignment, not pitching
• Training nonprofit teams to lead high trust conversations with corporate partners
• Helping consultants grow their visibility and revenue using a value first approach

I still build companies that create impact. I am developing Givly, an AI powered platform designed to help nonprofits increase grant success by giving teams a research and writing co pilot that understands their goals.

A few parts of my journey:
• Built and exited multiple companies
• Raised millions in investment
• Recognized by JA Worldwide for creating meaningful impact
• Reduced over one million single use plastic bottles through sustainable water systems
• International keynote speaker on social impact, partnerships, and purpose driven growth

If you believe relationships are the real engine of funding and partnership success, we are aligned.

Send me a message with the word Impact, and I will share resources we use to help teams grow sustainably.

Let’s build something meaningful.
