Tired of the spin zone? Not sure if you’re getting the straight story?
The exaggerations surrounding plant-based and biotech foods are out of hand and many start-ups, investors, advocates, and donors are not focused on the right strategies.
I have spent my 25+ year career in and around non-profit organizations and start-ups. I understand how they operate – and how they use spin to their advantage. Let me help you avoid the pitfalls.
I am honest and call it as I see it. By steering you away from the wrong investments and non-profit projects, I can save you money and frustration.
I work with investors to:
Review pitch decks to spot the exaggerations, deceptions, and potential legal risks
Review the latest plant-based foods data reports to spot baseless predictions
Sit in on start-up pitches to ask the hard questions and spot deceptions
Review investor portfolios and spot potential bias towards male-led start-ups
I work with donors to:
Review a non-profit’s progress reports and grant proposals for effective strategies
Review their campaign claims for lack of legal accountability
Identify which organizations are truly effective to maximize your philanthropic goals
Review donor portfolios to spot bias towards male-led organizations and strategies
