Our Team

“As a first-time founder more than a decade ago, I had time, energy but no experience or perspective. I would hit plateaus, sales dips or some type of roadblocks all. the. time. I wished I had access to better insights to make decisions from experienced trusted people during those key moments. I knew someone has inevitably figured it out, there were so many key decisions that costed us dearly. If only we had access to people with expertise and connections that would unleash an impactful, life-changing innovation or collaboration that could have taken me to new heights.”

It’s something that I dreamt about everyday and today, we are passionately offering that to others now.”
