Hi, I'm Elliot Chaves.

4x Founder

Raised $750k in capital

Accelerator graduate

Award-winning designer

My career has taken me from the fashion runways of New York to startups in Silicon Valley. Shaping who I am today.A systems thinker with a founder's mindset, an operator's discipline, and a designer's eye for finding simpler, better ways to build things that last.

My entreprenial journey:A non-profit that never got off the ground — a passion project I founded and my first real lesson in what it takes to build something from nothing.An apparel company that exited with a 5x ROI to stakeholders after 4 years — I co-founded and successfully scaled it by simplifying, systemizing and automating.An independent product design consultancy — that won multiple international design awards. When it was time, I closed shop to work on my next project.A sustainable sportswear tech startup — where I graduated from a Silicon Valley Accelerator Program, built an exceptional team, drove our product to MVP, and learned firsthand how market shifts and funding realities can end even the best ventures.

Through all my wins and losses, I have lived what you're going through. And that's what I bring to your business now.Real experience with real solutions and a genuine desire to help fellow business owners get where you're going faster, easier and on your own terms.

Let's talk.
