"Nothing gives me more joy than seeing founders have breakthroughs, get their first paying customers, raise funding, and build their dream company while enjoying the journey"
Hi I'm Anne Cocquyt
I help entrepreneurs and seed stage and Series A stage build product and raise their next round.
I combine Silicon Valley startup advice with my hands-on expertise having built, acquired, and sold my own startups.
I helped hundreds of founders in my corporate innovation and entrepreneurship career unlock their potential and scale their businesses.
I join as an advisor and lend my network or I come in as a fractional COO or CTO and roll up my sleeves. In many cases, we discover that you need more than a pitch deck or an MVP and I help introduce you to startup geniuses in my network to help with branding, hiring, marketing, or sales.
I wrote the book DARE TO LAUNCH and founded the GUILD Academy, a unique entrepreneurship program that helps first-time entrepreneurs launch their businesses. I teach at UC Berkeley and mentor at various accelerators.
