Meraki Ascent helps founder-led, values-driven companies grow through soul-led business development, investor relations, and marketing. Connecting good people doing good things with each other.
Most BD professionals don't speak investor. Most investor-relations folks don't speak creative. Sitting at all three tables is rare. Sitting at all three with soul is rarer.
Marketing runs on packaged tiers. BD and investor relations are scoped per engagement.
Strategic outreach, partnership architecture, and pipeline building for founder-led companies who want to grow without losing the soul of what they've built.

Born and raised in Winthrop. Outdoor enthusiast and athlete, the kind of person who finishes one goal and is already eyeing the next one. Managing Partner at Terra Axis with five-plus years building revenue operations, business development, and marketing strategy across founder-led companies, impact funds, nonprofits, and higher education programs. Most recently led social and digital for Gamble Sands, one of the most-watched golf destinations in the Pacific Northwest.
Alongside client work, I've founded and grown my own small-scale brands in the health and wellness and pet spaces, earning brand partnerships and proving the playbook from the inside out.
Meraki Ascent is the practice I built around three things I deeply believe in: passion for the work, purpose in every connection, and progress that's measurable and real.
An avid sailor, skier, hiker, and explorer. I draw the same discipline and endurance into every engagement, with deep roots in the Pacific Northwest and a belief that sustainable stewardship matters in business as much as in nature.
Doing something with all your soul, creativity, and love. Leaving a piece of yourself in your work.
/ Mare-uh-kye / · Greek
Showing up with your whole self, every time. Doing the work because you actually care about it, not because it's on the calendar.
Aligning every connection, every introduction, every strategy with values that matter. For the founder, the investor, the planet, the community.
Movement. Measurable, intentional movement. Real growth that makes founders, investors, and the work itself meaningfully better than where it started.
Whether you're a founder looking to grow, an investor seeking meaningful opportunities, or a values-driven business ready to share its story well, I'd love to connect. No pitch, no pressure. Just a conversation.
