RSCM is startup investment firm focused exclusively on the pre-seed stage. With a portfolio of 1000 pre-seed investments and growing. Pre-seed isn't our farm system; it's our bread and butter. It's all we've done, all day, every day, since 2012. As the Growth Partner for RSCM, I work with our portfolio companies to help catalyze their growth. I do this by listening to each one's current path and trying to understand where their biggest needs are at the moment. I then collaborate with them and put a plan in place to help drive results. We continue to work together to drive the results as obstacles emerge.

In Silicon Valley, we’ve come to see disruption as a good thing. But when it comes to cities -- the places where we live and work -- we should aim higher. After all, cities have been around for five thousand years. They don’t need to be obstructed in order to be improved. Swiftly, a Silicon Valley tech company focused on helping cities move more efficiently, believes in responsible innovation and realistic results that help people in the here and now. They aren’t chasing a hypothetical future by spending billions of dollars trying to get self-driving cars to work or by attempting to tear down the freeway to build a hyperloop. And they aren’t flouting a city’s regulations or exploiting its labor pool to achieve its goals. Instead, Swiftly’s approach is more subtle, and more effective: it focuses on the present, on solutions that already work. Swiftly makes software that helps public transit agencies use data to make sweeping and impactful improvements to the systems that cities have already built. They allow transit workers and city employees -- the folks who are already on the ground, working hard to keep cities running smoothly -- to do their jobs more easily and achieve more for the cities they love. And that’s the sort of realistic pragmatism that lets Swiftly thrive. Because at Swiftly, being "mission-driven" isn't a buzzword; it's a sustainable, achievable roadmap.

My goal at Esker was to increase channel partners in the US. Esker was well known in Europe but had very little market share in the US. When I joined the company, there had 2 existing resellers in the US. I was able to increase the volume of the existing resellers while signing 8 new ones. I was responsible for increasing their US revenues by 400%.
