In 1999, she co-founded Venture Point which was the only Small Business Development Center of 1000 in the United States entirely focused on serving the entrepreneurs of high technology and growth businesses. It was a highly successful public and privately-funded partnership with the US Small Business Administration, State of California Technology, Trade and Commerce Agency and the Orange County Business Council until it closed in 2003 due to the State's budget crisis. She has worked with hundreds of entrepreneurs and developed coaching and mentoring models and services to successfully support their needs. The models were used to coach over 300 start-up and emerging companies and leveraged $2.5 million in funding into over $90 million in economic impact measured by revenues and debt and equity financing in a three-year period. Additionally, clients were able to transition from their "garages to greatness" and technology commercialization via workshops, CEO roundtables, and assessment services in the areas of commercialization, funding and leadership. She has "walked the talk" or "been in the shoes" of many of her clients - from being in line positions in the corporate world to entrepreneur to board member to private investor.

Today, she works as a coach, mentor, sounding board, advisor, confidant and strategist with entrepreneurs, executives and senior teams of privately-held emerging companies, public companies, including the Fortune 1000, and non-profits.
