the company is new, the expertise isn't
Local Research
With Global Reach
In 2024, U.S. companies secured $178B in venture funding - $90B in Bay Area AI startups. While most AI funding supports B2B, 20% targets B2C and B2B2C, 75% of which are Bay Area-based. A San Francisco local, Julie provides expert insights into this shifting investment landscape.
Innovative Market Research
Great research isn’t just data—it’s about asking the right questions. While GenAI's deep research tools can process existing content, they struggle to anticipate industry challenges. With 20+ years of experience, Julie delivers unique insights, guiding businesses through complex decisions.
Bridging Consumers, Technology & Business
Emerging technology doesn’t guarantee success. Many fail by overlooking market timing, consumer behavior, and risks. With 35+ years as an engineer, consultant, and analyst, Julie has helped global companies turn new technology into successful, market-ready experiences and products.
Extensive Personal
Network
My extensive network of experts and leaders in cutting-edge tech and e-commerce gives me access to insights beyond my core expertise. It also enables me to bring in top industry thinkers for projects that require a broader or more end-to-end approach.
