Hi, I’m Eric and I provide resources for startups.

I love helping founders push rocks up hills. I do this through coaching, operating, and investing in startups. I believe in anyone that is building a part of the machine in a company, whether a founder or an executive, supporting the mission, vision, and values of a company. Below is more about what I do, and resources to help.

I believe in unlocking clients potential and serving their needs; 1:1 coaching with executives and CEOs, workshops with management teams, and offsite planning. I have been working with venture backed founders for years and focus on operational excellence and growth.

Part-time COO work is great for teams that have founders setting the vision or technical founders with operational debt. I work directly with a handful of clients that need trusted help. I bring order to chaos. I cleanup situations. I help founders push rocks up hills. I love every minute of it. This work leverages my operational excellence, when you may not need full time help or be able to bring in a seasoned operator.

I have been investing in founders for over 10 years with first belief capital in the form of angel, pre-seed, seed, Series A, and later stage investments. I have been working with founders operationally as an advisor, coach, and fractional COO (part-time COO). This portfolio is a collection of those companies I have invested in and a bit more about each project, founder, and journey.

Over the past 10 years I have compiled and organized resources that I have used with clients when they have questions or want to go deep on a topic. Opening this up is a dream come true to serve more builders - instead of 1:1 I can now finally bring these resources 1:N.
