Fundraiser: Coaching for a Cause
4 coaching sessions. $250 donation. Every dollar goes to Dublin High School’s music programs.
There are less than three months left in the year. For some of us, that’s anxiety-inducing. For others, it’s energizing: one more lap to finish strong. And for a few, it’s “wait, didn’t January just happen?” This coaching is about helping you finish the year strong and start the new year on the right foot.
The Offer
Make a minimum $250 donation and get four coaching sessions with me (normally $5,000). Every dollar goes to the general fund for Dublin High School’s music programs.
It’s a chance to experience coaching without a long-term commitment, and do some good along the way.

Who I Am
👋🏼 Hello, I’m Eddie. Before coaching, I helped build and lead early-stage teams at Optimizely (seed to $120M ARR) and Marketo (seed to IPO). Now I coach founders and leaders, mostly at seed through Series B, as a certified Co-Active leadership coach (gold standard coach training).
Sometimes coaching is about moving the business forward: a tough call, a stuck team, a big quarter. That’s useful. But what my most successful clients get out of it goes deeper. It’s the transformational part.
Transformational means the change happens in you, not just on your to-do list, so it sticks. You stop reacting the same way to the same old triggers. You stay calm when the stakes are high and bring intensity without burning out. You lead as who you really are, not who you think you’re supposed to be. And the business growth tends to follow.
“Eddie has single-handedly changed the trajectory of my company, career, and my life. He’s more than a coach — he’s a mentor, a teacher, someone to make the founder journey less lonely. He has the hard-to-find skill of knowing when to listen, when to push you, when to hold you accountable, when to guide.”
— Cassie Choi, Registered Nurse turned Co-founder, Pair Team (YC S19)
