District

Building a company comes with highs and lows—something I know well as a multi-time founder. The right conversation, with the right person, at the right time, can profoundly shape a company’s trajectory. That's why I'm thrilled to announce that, as District’s Program Partner for the inaugural 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁 𝘅 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺, I'll be helping fintech founders through 6 weeks of focused workshops designed to accelerate their startup journey. Featuring speakers like Michael Ma, Travis Hedge, and Dimitri Dadiomov, this exclusive, six-session intensive is designed to help fintech founders scale their businesses, forge transformative partnerships, and build thriving teams. With only 10 seats available, participants will gain practical insights, 1:1 mentoring, and access to a powerful network of peers and industry experts.

Unlocking the power of the community Together with District and Michael Ma, I am really excited to start a monthly get together for tech startup founders in the SF Bay Area. The goal is bring amazing people working on exciting businesses, products, and technologies together for an intimate gathering (less than 15 people) every month in a home setting. No mater if you are post-seed or series D+, this event is for you. We will curate the folks to ensure that this is a high signal network of amazing folks. This will be an in person event in SF (dogpatch area) that we will hold each month. Please sign up by filling the form https://lnkd.in/gWmtzwur if you are interested.
