The ecosystem
I founded the Pacific Northwest Venture All Stars ecosystem, connecting the region’s top startups and securing event partnerships with over 100 sponsors, including NASDAQ, Microsoft, and Morgan Stanley. Top companies were selected by a network of venture capitalists, angel investors, and industry experts.
The programs
I co-founded, produced, and directed the “Venture All-Stars Awards CEO Playbook” series in partnership with NASDAQ, and co-founded the Early Stage Investment Forum and one of the first Homeland Security venture forums — producing 100+ private investor pitches and educational events. As a startup advisor, I supported ventures across the Seattle ecosystem, including companies later acquired by major technology firms.
