About

COO & Partner at MA Family where we lead communications for tech startups and VC firms. Led campaigns for venture capital firms with $500M under management, publicly-traded corporations and tech companies ranging from early-stage startups to unicorns. Previously I worked at Day One Ventures, an SF-based firm that supports its portfolio companies with PR, where I managed our back office, and helped dozens of projects define their messaging. We invested in Trueill (acq. for $1.25Bn), Arcus Fi (acq. by MasterCard), Squad (acq. by Twitter), Superhuman, DoNotPay, Atoms, and many others. "The art of storytelling is incredibly important. Learning to tell a story is critically important because that’s how the money works. The money flows as a function of the story”. Don Valentine
