I create connections
I work fractionally across multiple projects at once, which helps me create connections and form unexpected bonds. My training as a journalist taught me the deep inquiry skills required for learning something new, and I carry this trait with me when helping teams kickstart new initiatives that lean on community, peer learning, and curriculum development.
project types
Community Strategy
Design online and offline user communities that are incentive-aligned and high-impact
Go-to-Market

Hi, I'm Bethany.
With a decade of experience in the tech sector, I’ve spent a lot of time in go-to-market functions in startups and venture capital. You may know me for curating a network of 100 tech founders who found great value in blending their disconnected knowledge that spans many industries. (Or for for that time I carried an empty picture frame all around NYC.) I integrate a network-focused approach into all of my client work and projects.
