With two decades of experience — 12 of those in Leadership roles at high-growth startups and as an operating partner in venture capital — Natalie Ledbetter has become a go-to expert in identifying and eliminating business risks in VC-backed, early-stage (Seed-Series B) startups that have achieved product-market fit (PMF).

Specializing in two areas: 1) Building agile organizations from zero to one and 2) driving business transformation in early-stage companies confronting revenue, organizational and leadership challenges, Natalie brings a rare blend of strategic insight at the leadership level and hands-on execution.

Believing wholeheartedly that talent is the true decider of business success, Natalie is known as a “Swiss Army knife,” “fixer,” and “strategic disruptor.” Leveraging deep pattern recognition from building several B2B and B2C businesses, Natalie has partnered with more than 100 founders to grow, scale and turnaround failing companies in the tech ecosystem.

After seeing the startup journey from first check to exit, Natalie understands what it takes to scale not just companies — but culture. Her expertise has allowed her to lecture on building startup businesses at Columbia and Drexel Universities and to contribute to podcasts, articles, and speaking engagements like TedX. Natalie is an active member of Chief, PeopleTech Partners, TroopHR, and Peer150.
