About

Deep Venture Sourcing & Diligence I bring hands-on experience across the full venture lifecycle. At Google’s VC arms (GV and CapitalG), I spent five years evaluating early-stage teams and supporting late-stage growth investments—building models, competitive landscapes, and IC-ready materials for more than $400M in deployed capital. Today, I source and evaluate Pre-Seed to Series A startups as a Venture Scout & Fellow with South Loop Ventures, focusing on Smart Cities, AI, mobility, and industrial automation. I conduct market mapping, diligence, and technology assessments to identify scalable, high-conviction opportunities. I also invest as part of the Black Angels Group, strengthening my independent deal evaluation and founder support skills, particularly around GTM, fundraising strategy, and financial modeling. I’ve advised dozens of founders and understand precisely what an Investment Committee needs to make a decision.

Kenny’s FP&A Qualifications

Coaches professionally

Experience level: Manager

Kenny has helped clients get into these companies:

I've spent my career at the intersection of finance and strategy, most recently in Cloud Finance at Google, where I worked on controllership, reporting, and planning for one of the company's fastest-growing businesses. Before that, I was Corporate FP&A Manager at Delinea, owning budgeting, forecasting, and executive reporting, and I held finance and investing roles across YouTube, Google Ventures, CapitalG, Honeywell, and Bot Auto. My foundation is in modeling and analysis: investment banking and private wealth internships at Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan, an MBA from UC Davis, and a BBA from the University of Houston. I've lived the FP&A path from the inside, at a Big Tech company, a high-growth software company, and early-stage ventures, so I can help you pick the right environment for your goals. I coach candidates breaking into FP&A, analysts moving up to manager, and FP&A professionals moving into strategic finance, BizOps, or corporate development. We'll work on technical interview prep (three-statement logic, variance analysis, forecasting cases), resume and story positioning, and how to make your work read as business partnership rather than reporting. That last skill is what separates FP&A people who get promoted from those who plateau.

Why do I coach?

I coach because I want to give others what was given to me: clarity, strategy, and a real blueprint for breaking into a competitive field. I’ve seen too many capable people get overlooked simply because they don’t understand the unwritten rules of venture capital. Helping them bridge that gap—helping them speak the language, show up with conviction, and build lasting networks—is deeply meaningful to me. Coaching isn’t a side project. It’s a way to make the path into VC more accessible, more structured, and more honest for people who deserve a real shot.
