Last night at CoralTech, something truly special unfolded. It was a moment that reminded me why I build. It also reminded me why I share and why community matters more than ever.
The Power of Gathering
I walked into Office Evolution in Coral Springs. I could feel the energy. The room was alive with founders, innovators, and dreamers. They were all hungry to learn and eager to connect. There’s a unique magic when bold ideas meet real execution. Craig Henderson’s vision ensures CoralTech is where that magic happens.

I was honored to take the stage. I shared a message that’s become my mission:
Most startups don’t fail because of their product. They fail because Go-to-Market was an afterthought.
It’s a hard truth, but one I’ve seen play out time and again. Brilliant founders with world-changing ideas, but no clear path to market. Teams pouring their hearts into building, only to stumble when it’s time to launch.
A New Approach to Go-to-Market
That’s why I built something different. Not another dashboard. Not another checklist. But a platform that thinks like a strategist—one that helps founders connect their vision to real traction.

Last night, I had the privilege of walking the CoralTech audience through this journey:
- Why Go-to-Market isn’t just a launch plan—it’s the engine for sustainable growth.
It’s about more than getting to market. It’s about staying there, thriving, and scaling with purpose. - How to align vision, messaging, and execution in a unified flow.
The best ideas in the world can get lost in translation if the story isn’t clear. The team must also be aligned. We explored how to bring clarity to the chaos, so every move counts. - How AI can make strategy scalable, repeatable, and measurable.
This is where the future is headed: leveraging AI not just for automation, but for insight, creativity, and precision. I showed how the platform empowers teams to build their GTM strategies faster. It allows teams to test and refine them smarter than ever before.
The Real Highlight: The People
But what truly set the night apart wasn’t the technology—it was the people.
Elvis Pardal and Tahl Milburn brought their own firepower to the conversation. They shared insights on AI, innovation, and transformation. These insights challenged and inspired everyone in the room. And the audience—every single person—brought curiosity, openness, and a willingness to dig deep. The questions were sharp, the discussions honest, and the energy contagious.

I am especially grateful to Craig Henderson and the entire Coral Tech team for cultivating this space. Ideas often get lost in the noise. However, CoralTech stands out as a beacon. It is for those who want to build, launch, and lead with purpose.
