Welcome to Cultivo!

I am Chrissy Donnelly and I founded Cultivo in 2022 to help startups with their biggest challenges in corporate strategy, business strategy and fundraising. Since then I’ve helped over a dozen clients from Brisbane to the Bay Area on 15+ projects, ranging from creating seed round pitch decks to helping a fully-remote company collaborate and communicate better.

How I got here

I received my MBA from Stanford in 2017, and in the last few years have worked at two startups, a VC, and big tech. After taking a career sabbatical in early 2021, I started taking on projects with startup founders, and I realized how energizing it is to work with entrepreneurs (who by nature are an optimistic bunch) and the joy of being able to provide them with real value, sometimes in just a few hours.

I started Cultivo so that I could do just that. With one foot in Silicon Valley, one foot in big tech and a grounding in finance, I love being able to help people move their company onto the next step.

Whats next

Thank you to all of my clients who have put their trust in me so far, and for those I’ve yet to meet, I can’t wait to get to know you and see what we can do together!
