CHARLIE LASS
Hello,
I mentor ambitious Founders and consult for high-potential companies. I’m an extreme advocate for mental health. I take ideas to market in 30 days. Let's chat.
Why listen to me?
I'm an Alum & former lecturer from MIT Sloan.
I've launched products in 20 different industries, had multiple exits in the US and the UK as well as a nervous breakdown.
I write, speak and teach about entrepreneurship, innovation & mental health.
I've made lots of mistakes so you don't have to.
