Virtual fireside chat with startup consultant Diane Tarshis on building a strong foundation and avoiding early-stage mistakes

What Investors See That Founders MissJoin us for a virtual fireside chat with Diane Tarshis, Founder of Startup Distillery and a trusted consultant to founders.With over 20 years of experience helping entrepreneurs turn ideas into profitable, growing businesses, Diane brings a practical, straight talk perspective on what it actually takes to build something that works.In this conversation, we will explore: • How founders can move from idea to execution with clarity • The most common early-stage mistakes and how to avoid them • What investors look for before funding a business • How to think strategically about growth, not just hustleThis session is designed for founders, aspiring entrepreneurs, and anyone looking to better understand how to build a strong foundation before raising capital. ABOUT DIANE:Most first-time founders start out spinning their wheels and feeling overwhelmed, when what they really want is an operating manual for turning their dream into reality. The good news? A playbook *does* exist. I'll help you cut through the confusion, eliminating years of guessing and pivoting. WHO I AM I provide 1:1 startup consulting, advising and coaching to entrepreneurs who are experts in their field or passion, but have never built a business before. Since graduating from the Wharton School and leaving the frenzy of Wall Street behind, I’ve spent the last 20+ years helping first-time founders build businesses that fast-track profitability and (if it makes sense) get funded. WHO I HELP Founders at Stage Zero. The idea stage and just beyond. The “I’ve got a vision, but don’t know what to do next” stage. Why? Because every smart move (or expensive mistake) starts right here – at Stage Zero. I help you stack the odds in your favor, one strategic decision at a time. HOW I HELP I take a high-touch approach and only work 1:1 with my clients. No group programs, no plug-and-play templates. Just you, me and a hands-on, get-in-the-weeds process tailored to your business from the ground up. So what exactly do I do? I’m the startup whisperer in your back pocket – someone to help you pressure-test your idea, refine your offerings, and figure out who wants to buy what you’re selling (and how you’ll deliver it). Along the way, I guide you through the functional and emotional skills every founder needs, from operations, pricing and financial modeling, to thinking like the CEO of your business (even if you’re flying solo). RECEIPTS, RESULTS &amp; ROI Over the past 20+ years, I’ve worked with founders across industries (and across the globe). A few highlights: * 99% of my clients who sought funding secured it * Helped a whisky startup go from concept to England's largest producer with millions in funding * Multimillion-dollar exit for a pet insurance tech platform acquired by global conglomerate * Profitable in under 1 year: A physical therapy clinic booked solid with a waitlist by month 18 Ready to skip the guesswork?
