Stanford Startup Instructor || 1st Time Founder Specialist || Funding & GTM

Hi, I’m Angela! I bring a unique blend of entrepreneurial expertise and global impact to my coaching. Currently, I am an Stanford entrepreneurship instructor for adults and high school students through various for-credit and immersive learning programs. As the founder and leader of Stanford’s Education Entrepreneurship Hub (https://edupreneurship.stanford.edu), I’ve built a thriving ecosystem that empowers both for-profit and nonprofit education entrepreneurs to innovate and scale their ventures. Previously, I bootstrapped a future-of-work SaaS product that scaled to users in over 80 countries, proving my ability to take an idea from zero to global reach. I specialize in coaching first-time founders, particularly student entrepreneurs, on everything from customer discovery and market validation to MVP development, sustainable business models, and fundraising. My experience spans founding, operating, investing, and ecosystem building, giving me a 360-degree perspective on entrepreneurship. What sets me apart? I understand the challenges and opportunities specific to first time founders and work with entrepreneurs building both mission-driven nonprofits and scalable for-profits. Whether you’re launching your first MVP, crafting a standout pitch, or planning your go-to-market strategy, I’m here to help you refine your approach and succeed. Let’s build something extraordinary together!
