Helping you provide the support entrepreneurs need
Consulting and program development for organizations driving entrepreneurship and economic growth.
Fortune 500 companies, major universities, state economic development agencies – I've been inside enough organizations to know what moves the needle. Tell me your goals and I'll tell you what it takes to achieve them.
How I Work
Plan with Purpose
Every engagement starts with a candid conversation about where you are and what you're trying to achieve. We outline a path that's realistic, strategic, and built around your constraints.
Collaborate Openly
You're not handing this off. You're part of the process. Decisions get made together, communication stays open, and nothing moves forward without your sign-off.
Multiply Your Resources
A good consulting engagement should widen your circle of support. We work to connect you with the programs, networks, and funding sources that extend what you can do long after the engagement ends.
Four ways we work with organizations.
Engagements are scoped to what you need.
Pricing is discussed on the first call. Nothing starts without a clear agreement.
We work with your team to assess what's working, where growth is stalling, and what needs to change to create an actionable plan for progress.
We design curriculum for entrepreneurship education, workforce development, and professional training programs. Built around your learners, your context, and outcomes you strive for.
We design, manage, and improve pitch competitions through developing structure, judging criteria, participant prep, and post-event follow-through. We've been on both sides of the table and know what works for the entrepreneurial community.
We help entrepreneurs and organizations prepare to purchase or sell their business in West Virginia. We help you find the partners, funders, and resources that fit your situation and understand the rules and expectations that go with it.
