Why Kerysa would make a good co-founder

With my unique blend of military discipline, entrepreneurial success, and financial expertise, I bring a powerful combination of skills to any co-founding partnership.

My career began in HR Management with the USMC, where I developed strong leadership abilities, discipline, and people management skills that remain foundational to my approach today. This military background instilled in me a mission-focused mindset and the ability to perform under pressure—qualities essential for navigating the challenges of early-stage ventures.

My track record includes successfully building and selling three business models, demonstrating not just my ability to launch companies but to grow them to profitable exits. This experience has given me firsthand knowledge of the full business lifecycle—from ideation and market validation to scaling and successful exit strategies.

Following these exits, I've dedicated myself to helping others succeed through business development consulting for startups, new businesses, and franchises. This advisory role has exposed me to diverse business models and challenges, broadening my perspective and problem-solving abilities. My business analysis work for small business owners has honed my ability to quickly identify operational inefficiencies and growth opportunities.

Currently, as a Financial Services Professional registered through FINRA and SIPC, I bring regulatory knowledge and financial acumen that can help navigate compliance requirements and financial planning—often overlooked aspects that can make or break early-stage companies.

A co-founder needs to wear many hats, particularly in the early stages, and my diverse background has prepared me to contribute across multiple domains—from operations and team building to strategy and financial management. I understand that co-founding relationships require not just complementary skills but also aligned values and communication styles, and I prioritize transparency and direct communication.

I'm seeking a co-founding opportunity through Starthawk.io because I believe my experience can help turn promising ideas into sustainable businesses, and I'm ready to commit my expertise, network, and energy to building something exceptional with the right partner.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Elevator pitch for startup:

I'm acquiring a profitable Android mobile game with proven market traction and I'm seeking strategic partners to scale this venture to its full potential.

This isn't just another mobile game - it's a revenue-generating platform with multiple monetization channels already in place through ads and in-app purchases. The game operates on Google Play with minimal overhead and maintenance costs.

What makes this opportunity unique is the combination of current profitability with substantial untapped growth potential. The platform is built on accessible technology that allows for expansion without deep technical expertise - we can rapidly iterate and scale without massive development resources.

At its current trajectory, financial projections show revenue growth from $15,000 in year one to $60,000 by year three, with exceptional profit margins exceeding 99% due to the digital nature of the business. However, these figures represent just the baseline with minimal intervention.

The real opportunity lies in strategic development and expansion. With targeted user acquisition strategies, additional game features, expanded platforms, and enhanced monetization models, we could potentially multiply these numbers significantly. This isn't just about maintaining a passive income stream - it's about transforming an already successful product into a major player in the mobile gaming market.

I bring military leadership experience, having started my career in the USMC, plus a track record of successfully building and exiting three businesses. My background in business development consulting and financial services (I'm registered with FINRA and SIPC) provides the strategic foundation.

What I'm looking for are partners who can complement my skills with expertise in mobile gaming growth, user acquisition, or community building. This is an opportunity to join a venture with existing traction, clear monetization, and a roadmap for scaling without starting from scratch.
