Advising

I love advising startups and nonprofits. While I'm really busy, I'm open for investments and board roles when it feels like I can help the team bring leverage.

Startups

I work with seed-stage founders on product, distribution, and fundraising. I've been through YC, built and sold a company, and shipped products at Microsoft. Happy to share what I've learned.

Nonprofits

I've run the Fair Opportunity Project for 10+ years and serve on multiple boards. If you're building something mission-driven, I'd love to hear about it.

Investing

I invest in healthcare, robotics, compliance, and products that solve real pain points. If you're raising, reach out.

What Founders Say

An extremely knowledgeable consultant who thinks outside the box. He's a fast learner so you don't waste any time having him come up to speed on your products or situation. He's effective at thinking about the near term and long term problems — and will give great advice on each.

— Startup Founder

By far one of our most helpful conversations. Luke created an environment in which we could be honest about our challenges. He helped us think outside the box on our model and distribution strategy and land on tactical next steps.

— Founding Team

Luke provided incredible feedback and was very generous with his time. I appreciated how he was very direct — it's very hard to get unfiltered and constructive feedback as a founder.

— Startup Founder

A great person to run your ideas and thoughts by. Being a successful founder, he can save weeks if not months of trying things out and give you advice on what will and won't work.

— Startup Founder

Engaging with Luke was an exceptional experience. He combined deep knowledge with genuine warmth. His insights into different strategies and his rationale for recommending a specific path were incredibly valuable — bringing clarity to my plans.

— Startup Founder

His experience was insightful and a big help in evaluating and adjusting our game plan. The conversation inspired us to commit more time to business functions and fortify our weak areas.

— Founding Team

Hugely insightful with the growth phase of a company — as he has been there before.

— Startup Founder

Luke gave practical advice on how I can test my business idea and what metrics I should focus on. I learned so much from his successful entrepreneurship journey.
