I started beta steps shortly after exiting my second startup, while working on my third and going through a local business accelerator that reshaped my understanding of the startup process. I began building on the program that I had gone through. I started a startup workflow based on small iteration cycles, which I called "beta steps." Twelve years later, I have an above average track record and a repeatable process that I've applied to several startups, even those I don't have a direct stake in.

My journey has revealed my passion for helping others embark on their startup journey and developing the next generation of entrepreneurs. I'm actively involved in the broader biotech, tech, and startup communities in Alabama and mentor several early-stage startups around the state. I strongly believe in the importance of mentors—reflecting on my successes, I can attribute much of it to the advice from my mentors. I recommend finding four mentors: one for financial guidance, one for business strategy, one for moral support, and a peer on a similar path.
Through continuous learning and improvement, I emphasize the importance of a strong team, fast feedback from stakeholders, high empathy and trust, collaboration, and transparency. These principles are at the core of BetaSteps, guiding startups through their early stages with a solid foundation and a clear path to success.
