SERVICES
For 15 years, I have been part of the financial world working with visionary entrepreneurs who think BIG, by serving as a member of their team in the role of CEO, CFO or Board Member, and provide expertise on structuring their business and its transactions, creating financial models/projections, managing cash flow and maximizing after tax profits.
Integration of business, science, philosophy, and random facts that lead to strategic outcomes for organizations is what I do best. I can advise clients on a spectrum of topics, from costing issues within the cannabis industry due to 280E, to why you shouldn't put Rogaine on your face in attempt to grow a beard if you own a cat (seriously, Rogaine is toxic to cats, don't let your fuzzy children near that stuff).
Consulting Core Competencies:
CEO | CFO Services
Executive Board Positions
Seed and Early Stage Investor
Chief Strategist | Professional Unicorn | Professional YouTube Cat Video Watcher
Industry Expertise: Cannabis, Retail, Financial Services, Manufacturing, Entertainment/Creative, Fitness/Exercise
Inquisitiveness has always been my nature and I possess a deep desire to understand different underlying systems, their mechanics, and trace those to tangible outcomes. If you have a compelling project, need help, or just want to bounce off an idea, I am just a phone call or email away.

LuCid Visions
PRE-SEED & SEED VENTURE CAPITAL | ACCELERATOR
Lucid Visions supports the best early stage companies by filling an undersupplied gap with pre-seed & seed equity capital and value-add resources. Many good ideas are undersupplied with the resources that they need to meet their demand. As a result, they must patiently wait for early organic cash flow to accumulate over time while having to pass up on dynamic growth opportunities in the interim. Lucid Visions supports our community by filling the void through accelerating a company’s strategic growth. With a combination of financial and human capital, pre-seed companies can now have access to resources that were previously difficult to obtain, which we believe will result in profitable and mission-oriented growth to benefit stakeholders.
Fund goals
Characteristics of companies that are supported by Lucid Visions and historically have been most undersupplied, include:
INDUSTRY:
All industries welcome. We have particular knowledge of “fringe” and emerging industries with complex regulatory navigation. This includes hemp, sex tech, pharmaceutical psychadelics.
SIZE:
Pre-revenue/pre-operating companies. Still in MVP phase or idea phase.
We generally do not invest in pre-revenue/pre-operating companies with valuations greater than $1 million. Over-valued companies usually indicate that the Founder is not a subject matter expert (they cannot build their idea with their own skills) or is greedy and trying to line their own pockets; a dream without capital has no value. A Founder looking for a spark to ignite the flame of their idea realizes this fact, and values their ideas properly. Making $1 million is incredibly hard…just try it.
GEOGRAPHIC REGION:
International, with preference on the Pacific Northwest, especially in Oregon and Southwest Washington.
GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES:
Target companies are growth and innovation-oriented with low initial capital needs, with heavy reliance on reliable and intelligent operators, high growth potential, and tight controls over finances.
OWNERSHIP:
Founder(s) / entrepreneur(s) owned and is (are) interested in remaining majority owner(s). We typically provide an active role as an executive of the company as an Accelerator.
INVESTMENT SIZE:
$100k max equity capital for 10-49% ownership, depending on level of active operational/executive involvement. Average deal size is approximately $10k, with progressive, incremental funding, based on need.
