Scale Your EdTech from Zero to $1M
I've built products used in 140+ countries and scaled EdTechs to millions in revenue. Now I work 1:1 with other EdTech founders to help them find PMF and scale.
My Journey in EdTech
My entrepreneurial journey began in Silicon Valley, where I built and sold my first startup after scaling it to millions of users. That early success taught me the fundamentals of rapid growth and product-market fit.
I then founded Microverse, an online coding school that grew to serve students in 140 countries. Leading a distributed team of 60 people across 25 countries, I scaled the company to $30M in revenue while raising $20M from top-tier investors.
The experience of building Microverse gave me deep insights into what works—and what doesn't—in EdTech. From creating scalable education models to building global communities, I learned how to combine technology with transformative learning experiences.
Today, I'm applying all these lessons to Leap, my latest venture. I'm also helping fellow EdTech founders avoid the mistakes I made and accelerate their path to success by sharing the frameworks and strategies that actually work.

Fractional Founder & Mentor
Most founders don't need another advisor.
They need someone who's been in the arena — who understands what it's like to build, fundraise, hire, and find product-market fit.
That's where I come in.
I work as a Fractional Founder & Mentor — a founder-level partner who joins your team without taking equity (unless we both choose to).
Unlike typical mentorship or consulting, I embed into your business for the long term.
I help you think, decide, and execute on every major aspect of your company — from product and growth to fundraising and team building.
What working together looks like
A partner in your corner
A partner you can message daily about strategy, decisions, and execution.
Founder-level perspective
Expert guidance from product and growth to hiring and fundraising.
Structured first month
A deep dive using my PMF framework to help us (re)define your strategy.
Long-term collaboration
Quarterly strategy reviews and continuous execution support as you scale your company.
We typically work together for at least 12 months.
During that time, I'm not an external consultant — I'm part of your team.
