"As a first time founder I didn't know there were so many unknown unknowns - Phil brings me perspective, guidance, challenge and peace."

CEO and Founder, Bloom Money

Story

“A lot of my initial work with Phil, in late 2022, was around establishing a base level of care for myself as a company leader. He hammered home how important it was, even giving me a worksheet to record if I’d been working out, had a balanced meal or been sleeping enough.

He’s been my sounding board about what it takes to be an entrepreneur. I have my reservations about venture capital but Phil has given me the tools to work with it and raise funds in a way I feel doesn’t compromise my or Bloom Money’s values.”

Results

“I’m aware that as a young woman of colour in the fintech sector I’m likely to come up against certain barriers. But Phil has done a really good job of preventing me from ever being in a state of victimhood. He helps me think like a privately educated, confident man and present myself in a way that will help me thrive in such circles! He’s also got me to practice presentations to investors over and over.


He’s been able to see new markets and possible product extensions the company can move towards. He’s trained me to take quick, effective decisions, too.”
