Let's connect.

I'm so glad you're here.

When I launched my first company, I knew nothing about startups. My passion for the problem I was solving forced me to learn on the job.

Now I'm helping other first-time founders shorten their startup learning curve with practical advice and hard-earned insights.  

Hi! I'm Danielle Deavens.
I pivoted from professional  journalism to early startups with 0 business experience.
Like most things worth doing, it wasn't easy.

Now I'm sharing all the startup fundamentals I've learned over the years, all in one place.‍

What I do

I infuse my training as a professional journalist with years of startup experience to help other founders tell great stories, learn startup fundamentals, and develop strong founder instincts using three pillars:
• Startup workshops
• 1:1 coaching sessions
• Asynchronous advising
