Turning Fundraising from Fearful to Fearless
Overview
Emcee or Moderator - Keynote:
Is raising financing for your business a mystery? For most entrepreneurs, fundraising is the roadblock standing between their vision and the business they want to build — the hires, the product, the launch, the growth. I make that road clear. I help founders understand what investors actually look for, build the tools that speak their language, and show them how to confidently own the room when the moment comes.

What to expect
I go for two things when I speak to audiences: Tell the audience something they may not know - make them laugh.
I love entertaining audiences and delivering insights and this can include.a variety of audiences - high tech, science based, agricultural, especially entrepreneurial audiences seeking to build a business and get funding.
If I am moderating I have one goal: Showcase the Thought Leader on the stage with me.

If I have to stand at a podium, I usually need a step as I am 5' tall! I prefer to stand on the stage instead with a lavalier microphone.
