vision means nothing if no one understands it.

when i was 13, my sister lost her hearing. i taught myself American Sign Language so we could still talk, then i started posting about it online. by 16 i was verified, signed to a talent agency, and making money from livestreams.

that was my first lesson in something i'd come back to over and over: when you're clear about what you stand for, the right people find you.← the pattern starts here

then i came to Boston for Northeastern and ran IDEA, the university's venture accelerator. 500+ student founders. $100K+ in grants. i started Boston's biggest college pitch competition. and the same pattern kept showing up: brilliant founders with ideas that could change everything, who couldn't get anyone to care. the work was technical, the human layer was missing.

that was the same skill i'd been doing since i was 13. figuring out why people tune someone out, and helping them be someone people actually want to hear.

now i'm at FoundersEdge, a pre-seed fund backing AI-native startups. i read hundreds of pitches a year and sit in founder meetings every day. the best founders aren't the smartest or the most technical. they're the ones who can make other people care.the whole thesis.

if you're building something and you can't get anyone to care about it yet, that's a solvable problem. let's talk.
