Obsidian Road

I support founders with first customers, key hires, and capital at the earliest stages of their startup journey — often as a first check.

Previously I was a founder, first employee, and 0–1 product builder at Videa, OnRamp, Coinbase, and Tagomi (acq by Coinbase).

I organize forums tailored to the needs of early-stage founders:

• *Founder <> curated engineering and GTM talent showcases
• *Founder <> key decision maker buyer rooms
• *Founder <> Founder mentorship for Pre-seed / Seed & founders further along
• *Founder <> VC for those raising capital in the next 6 months

I'm also happy to get hands-on with the myriad of 0–1 challenges that come up — parsing dizzying buyer and user feedback, closing your first pilot, crafting a fundraising narrative, or whatever's on the table that day.
