Startup Mentor Marketplace

Yasmine Caxeiro

Building a great product is hard. Building the business around it is a different skill entirely. That's where I come in. With 20 years of experience in data strategy and operations, I coach founders at the intersection of technical execution and executive vision. My background combines the discipline of Business Administration with the depth of someone who led data strategies for $700M portfolios at Deloitte, navigating between the Innovation and Ventures ecosystem and the demands of global enterprises. I operate at the intersection of Decision Intelligence, Operating Model Design, and Strategic Foresight, guiding founders to turn fragmented data into real-time governance systems, predictable revenue, and investment-ready businesses. This includes coaching on KPI architecture, revenue governance, financial modeling, and scenario planning so founders can make confident decisions at every stage of growth. I can help with: * Building the operating model and data infrastructure that makes growth predictable and fundable. * Structuring unit economics, churn dashboards, and KPI architectures that investors expect to see in due diligence. * Identifying and implementing the right data tools and processes to eliminate technical debt and enable scalability. * Developing Strategic Foresight and scenario planning frameworks to anticipate market shifts and reduce decision risk. * Preparing investor narratives and financial models grounded in real data to close rounds on solid foundations. Career highlights: * Rebuilt revenue data infrastructure at Leads2b, reducing reporting cycles by 95% and supporting a $4M Series B raise. * Directed Strategy and Governance for a $700M infrastructure project at Deloitte, accelerating executive approval cycles by 30% within 4 months. * Led open innovation and corporate venture initiatives for global enterprises across energy, mining, pharma, and financial services. * Mentored 300+ senior leaders on Decision Intelligence, including board-level programs for one of Latin America's largest financial institutions. * Speaker for 10+ years, including HackTown for more than 4 consecutive years, one of Brazil's largest innovation festivals, and keynote speaker at Women in Data Science and Women in Big Data globally. * Volunteer mentor at 50+ Techstars Startup Weekend events and NASA Space Apps Challenge, with one mentored startup raising R$1M in its first year and hiring me for ongoing strategic coaching. I'm most valuable when founders are preparing to raise, scaling faster than their systems can support, or need a clear strategic direction to move from traction to a fundable, scalable business. I am the strategic partner for founders who are ready to build the foundations that turn their vision into a scalable, fundable business. If that sounds like where you are, I would love to support!
