90% of founders are just overpaid secretaries.
Last month, a Series A founder missed a critical investor intro.
It sat buried under 200+ newsletters for 4 days.
By the time he saw it? The deal was dead.
He wanted to hire a $60k/yr EA. I built him a system instead.

Elevator Pitch follows one woman, one sign, and one message across 10 floors. Each floor represents a different world.
The streets, the boardroom, the creatives, the investors.
Same woman. Same product. Completely different energy, language & outfit.
Because the best salespeople don't change their product. They change how they speak about it.
The elevator keeps rising. She keeps adapting.
That's the pitch.
Read the room. Every time. 🔥

· 58% faster campaign turnaround
· 41% automated support resolution — humans in control at every step

And one thing became very clear: freelancing is hard.
There’s a lot of trial and error before you think you’ve found the perfect setup... And even then, it’s often still not great...
So I’m releasing two things soon that I’m really proud of:
