Mike is an optimistic problem solver. My word is Learn. I do it constantly.
By nature, I am a curious leader who has experienced success, failure and everything in between. (6X founder). I spend the largest majority of my time helping founders make better decisions from countries around the globe, and get their companies to the next level. That is how I make a living.
I was one of the first Startup Grind directors outside of Silicon Valley and was voted Director of the Year in 2016. I have interviewed over 200 leaders in the Seattle area at Startup Grind. I love helping others optimize companies/teams and enjoy the collaboration process to figure out how to create more value for a customer. I have raised millions of dollars from angel investors, sold two companies, closed a company, and failed once. Shoot me an email if you would like to touch base. I even created a guide to help founders make better decisions.
