Consulting and coaching

Part strategic partner, part personal coach.

I’m an especially good fit for founders building their first company. I’ve run that marathon myself, blisters included, so I know what rapid growth does to a company and to the person leading it.

For your company

Strategic partner

  • Growth strategy grounded in evidence
  • Fractional Chief Growth Officer, COO, or CMO leadership
  • Hiring, culture, and team building

Technology experience in health, finance, business services, and consumer products.

For you, the founder

Personal coach

  • Pitch coaching from two decades as an investor and startup judge
  • Exercises that build your confidence
  • Resilience to keep pushing forward without burning out

The startup roller coaster comes with no seatbelt. I help you flourish even in the chaos.

How we work together

Clarity first, then momentum.

  1. Book a call

    A 30 minute conversation about where you are and where you want to go.

  2. Find the real constraint

    We look at the evidence together and decide what matters most right now.

  3. Move forward with support

    You leave with a clear plan and an owner for each step, and I stay in your corner as you act.

About Tiffany

A builder, a teacher, and an optimist.

Tiffany Joy Basse, smiling, resting her chin on her hand

I founded my first technology company at 26, then built MsMoney.com, where I raised $2.2 million in angel capital, hired 100 employees and contractors in the first year, and partnered with Wells Fargo and Citibank. Since then I’ve delivered projects for six Fortune 100 companies and served as fractional COO and CMO of ChroniFI, which Acorns acquired in 2024.

I’ve also spent two decades on the other side of the table. I advised women technology CEOs through Astia for 20 years, cofounded OM Impact Fund, where I serve as managing director, and have heard more than 1,000 startup pitches as an investor and judge. I know what investors listen for, and I teach founders how to deliver it.

I love teaching and speaking, too. I was a guest instructor at UC Berkeley SCET’s Berkeley Method of Entrepreneurship Bootcamp, spoke on panels at AI for Good at Stanford and the Yale Impact Investing Conference, and keynoted Human Tech Week in San Francisco.

I live in Mill Valley, California, and I’m a mother of two.
