I made my first deal when I was 19, in my first year of graduation trying every way to earn online — affiliate, blogging, YouTube, freelancing. All of it failed. Then I bought a domain for $50, and one week later sold it for $450. That $400 profit taught me the lesson my whole career runs on: 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐢𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐠, 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐛𝐮𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐧'𝐭.

That accident became five years in domain investing, then domain brokerage — matching buyers to the exact names they needed. Then websites. Then real M&A. Today, as Founder & CEO of InstaFlip®, I advise on the deals that change companies: strategic exits, acquisitions, and capital raises across SaaS, AdTech, CTV, gaming, cybersecurity, medtech, and real estate.

Over 10+ years I've learned to sit on 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐡 𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞:

→ 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 — I help you raise capital or exit to the right buyer at the right terms. The highest offer rarely wins; the right fit does. I make sure you understand your real value before you sit across from someone who already does.

→ 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 & 𝐚𝐜𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐫𝐬 — I bring quality, diligence-ready deal flow and speak your language: quality of revenue, retention, margins, predictable cash flow. No fluff, no forced fits.

I read obsessively — for 7+ years, from negotiation and dealmaking to the science of how venture capitalists and private equity actually evaluate a business. I write about it publicly because the best way to understand deals is to study the people making them: how great founders build, how sharp investors think, and where the two meet.

Where this is going: advising is the first chapter. I'm building toward becoming a founder of a venture-backed company myself — and, in time, a venture capitalist backing the next generation. Everything I share here is me learning that path in public, one deal and one book at a time.
