What you likely need
You're a seasoned 4x founder and 2x YC alum with two exits under your belt, now splitting your time between active startups (Playhouse, Sentiyen) and founder coaching. Your strongest near-term leverage is clarifying which venture you're doubling down on and using your coaching platform to build a public brand that attracts both clients and investors.
Are these your current priorities?
We will tune and customize your Founder Festival experience to make sure you get invited to the events that would be most valuable to you.
- fundraisingPursue a formal seed or Series A raise for Sentiyen — your YC S21 pedigree and AI tailwind make this a strong moment to capitalize on investor appetite for GPT-native products.
- positioningPublicly declare your primary operating company (Playhouse vs. Sentiyen) so investors and recruits aren't confused by your split attention across two active ventures.
- positioningPublish a regular newsletter or podcast on founder leadership — your 4x founder story and two exits give you credible authority that can drive inbound coaching clients at scale.
- introsLeverage your dual YC alumni status (S13 and S21) to get warm intros to later-stage YC founders who may need executive coaching or advisory relationships.
- positioningDocument and share the PeerStreet journey publicly — a $121.9M-funded, a16z-backed company you co-founded and scaled as CTO is a powerful credibility anchor for both coaching and fundraising.
- hiringBring on a second technical co-founder or senior engineer for Sentiyen to accelerate product velocity while you focus on coaching and business development.
- wellbeingRunning two active startups plus a coaching practice simultaneously is a high burnout risk — set explicit time-boxing boundaries between your operator and coach roles each week.
