Hi, I’m Diane Tarshis — a strategic startup consultant and founder of Startup Distillery, where I partner with entrepreneurs who are experts in what they do, but have never built a business before. Together we dive into the details of their vision so we can dial in their business model and financial roadmap — giving them the clarity and guidance they need to grow and get funded. I’ve spent the last 20-plus years helping entrepreneurs from all walks of life build successful businesses and get funded. Some have become leaders in their industry, others have made multimillion-dollar exits, while still others have achieved their dream of a life that gives them flexibility and financial freedom. This podcast is for the founders who want to skip the trial and error and fast-track profitability by learning what the rest of the pack wish they'd known from the get-go.
