STARTUP & MONEY MENTORSHIP
I mentor founders on the two things that decide whether they make it: building the startup, and mastering their money.
I work with first-time founders in the spiritual wellness, psychedelic, and transformational space ready to achieve profitability sustainably, and with women ready to fix their relationship with money.

Startup Mentorship for Founders in the Transformational Space
Build something meaningful, reach profitability, and sustain it without selling out.
You're building in plant medicine, psychedelics, or spiritual wellness. The work matters. The business is harder than the work. You need to find product-market fit, fill your cohorts or retreats, and do it all without grinding yourself down or sacrificing integrity. That is the exact terrain I know and have navigated multiple times successfully.
My specialty: go-to-market through channel partnerships.
This space does not sell through ads. It converts through trust and the right partners. I have spent years building a real channel partner network across spiritual wellness and the psychedelic-adjacent world. I make warm introductions where they fit, and more importantly I teach you to build your own network so your enrollment strategy compounds long after we finish.
What we work on
- 01Product validation and the path to product-market fit
- 02Go-to-market through channel partnerships, not paid acquisition
- 03Selling out cohorts, programs, and retreats without burnout
- 04Pricing, positioning, and niche differentiation in a crowded space
- 05Profit-first structure so the business sustains you, not the reverse

Money Mentorship for High-Performing Women
Trade avoidance and shame for a clear, calm, capable relationship with money.
I was raised by a single mother, and I inherited the same strained relationship with money I now help other women undo. I've personally lived the avoidance and spiraled into shame. That's why I can sit with you with deep compassion to untangle, and shift that into a competent and healthy relationship.
Most women who come to me about money are not bad with it; they just avoid it and are ashamed. We fix the relationship first: how you spend, save, earn, and invest. Then we go deeper into how money actually works as a system. That is where Bitcoin comes in — not as a speculation, but as the missing piece I wish I'd understood years earlier. I save in it, I'm building my next company in it, and I teach it from first principles to truly understand what money is (what our education system never taught us).
What we work on
- 01Replacing avoidance with a calm, regular practice around money
- 02Conscious spending, saving, earning, and investing that fits your desired life
- 03Simplifying an overcomplicated portfolio into a few high-conviction bets
- 04Understanding money as a system: what it is, how it works, why it erodes
- 05Bitcoin from first principles: why it matters, how to hold it safely
The Shift
Women I've mentored on money came in avoidant — money was a source of stress they'd rather not look at. Six months later, each engaged with their finances on their own terms: a conscious money map and portfolio that aligns with their 'rich life.' I'm glad to connect you with them directly for their testimonial.
Why work with me
I built, and exited.
First-time founder scaled to a $20M-revenue, 40-person company in seven years. Since then I've bootstrapped to product-market fit and profitability 4 times in the industries listed above. Now I'm building my next company.
I facilitate, not consult.
Years in psychedelic and transformational spaces taught me to ask the questions that make you see it yourself, instead of handing you my answer. The realization sticks because it's yours.
I open my network, and teach.
I've cultivated a network across spiritual wellness and the psychedelic space that took years to build. So I open doors where it fits, and also teach you my playbooks to open your own to grow sustainably.

About Tim
I am a forever student, exited founder, serial entrepreneur, psychedelic explorer, and a recent first-time father.
What I am not: a registered financial advisor or certified startup consultant.
I built and exited my first tech company with $20M lifetime revenue and 40 employees in seven years. Since then I've bootstrapped to product-market fit and profitability multiple times, and I'm self-funding my next tech company now.
After my exit, two things became clear. First, I'd learned what money actually was only after selling, not before, and it cost me a lot of peace I didn't need to lose. Second, the startup skills I'd spent a decade building were exactly what other founders in the transformation space were seeking. So I started mentoring.
In parallel I went deep into cohosting psychedelic retreat experiences for 6 years. That work gave me the attunement I now bring to every session: the ability to sit with someone, spot the patterns holding them back, and ask the questions that let them find it themselves. All the while merging it with grounded startup tactics that I have proven to work and teaching the playbooks I've succeeded with many times.
Today I live in Costa Rica with my partner and our newborn & jungle pup. I save in Bitcoin, build startups, and mentor founders on the two things that have granted me the freedom I breathe everyday with so much gratitude.
