About Tim Taylor

I have a track record of designing, selling and launching marketing and distribution partnerships. I have both the analytical and sales skills to ensure that the partnerships are mutually beneficial. I work for Kranz Consulting which provides fractional Accounting & Finance teams for start-ups (seed+ to D) and VC\'s. We get leaders working on the business rather than in the business.For over 25 years (I mostly do it as a hobby or a favor now), I\'ve helped entrepreneurs build content for Investor Presentations. Very few things are more rewarding than when a CEO realizes they CAN explain it to someone who doesn\'t understand.I\'m always willing to teach a class of entrepreneurs what I\'ve learned over the years.I\'m a Wharton MBA and had my CPA (long since expired). If you want to build an authentic personal connection with me: Ask about my daughter, she\'s the most important relationship in my life. I wrote and starred in a one person play about herI love sports and LOVE the Kansas City ChiefsI am a deep thinker and appreciate others who are too
