I help startup founders and small business owners get funded when traditional banks say no
Most of the businesses I work with have already heard "no" from a bank. I specialize in finding funding for startups and small business owners. Through my company, OTRO Financial, I help entrepreneurs access capital when traditional banks aren't an option. I'm also a business turnaround coach who advises on cash flow and growth strategy (because sometimes a business loan is the last thing you need). There are often ways to improve cash flow without takng on new debt. I can help you determine the right paths forward.
My background includes multiple startups and acquisitions, an MBA from Indiana and an MGM from the Thunderbird School of Global Business —and I've applied this experience and education to build real lending solutions, not just consulting. I've also created GoBizGirl, a startup academy specifically for single moms entering entrepreneurship. If you're stuck on funding or growth strategy, I understand both the financial mechanics and the founder's perspective.
