One Punch Consulting
I help organizations design, launch, and scale entrepreneurship and economic development initiatives that actually produce results.
Who I Work With
I work with post-secondary institutions, economic development organizations, and ecosystem partners who want to move beyond ideas and into real, measurable outcomes.
Over the past 10+ years, I’ve supported startups, small businesses, and publicly funded programs across Alberta, designing systems that help founders launch, grow, and access opportunities.
This isn’t theoretical work. It’s hands-on program building, founder advising, and ecosystem development designed to create traction, not just activity.
What I Do
I design and support initiatives that sit at the intersection of entrepreneurship,economic development, and innovation.Core areas include:
• Entrepreneurship program design and delivery
Cohort-based programs, incubators, and pre-accelerators that move founders from idea to execution
• Economic development and BRE programming
Structured support for existing businesses focused on growth, retention, and expansion
• Ecosystem and partnership development
Connecting institutions, funders, and stakeholders to build stronger regional systems
• Founder and SME advisory
Practical support on business models, validation, funding pathways, and growth strategyEverything is built with implementation in mind, clear structure, measurable outcomes, and the ability to scale.
What This Looks Like In Practice
• Designed and scaled entrepreneurship programs supporting 214+ founder ventures, growing annual participation from 30 to 250+
• Secured and managed over $1M in external funding from partners including TD Bank, PrairiesCan, and Alberta Innovates
• Advised 200+ founders and small businesses, with several reaching $1M+ valuation or achieving early commercial traction
• Helped launch the Studentpreneur Program, distributing $202, 500 to 27 founders to build ventures
• Built new entrepreneurship ecosystems within post-secondary institutions, including launching NorQuest Business Factory Program
• Delivered workshops and training to audiences ranging from small cohorts to 300_ participants across Alberta
This work is grounded in execution; programs that run, founders that move forward, and systems that continue after launch.
How We Can Work Together
Engagements are typically structured in one of three ways:
• Program design and launch - Build a new initiative from the ground up, including structure, curriculum and delivery model
• Program optimization - Refine or scale and existing program to improve outcomes, participation, or sustainability
• Advisory and facilitation - Short-term support, workshops, or strategic input for teams working on entrepreneurship, pivots, new product or service launches, or economic development initiativesIf you’re building something and need it to work- not just look good on paper- let’s talk.
