One question has driven my work for the last 25 years

I've explored this question from inside startups, large companies, universities, and non-profits as a founder, C-level executive, investor, instructor, individual contributor, and executive coach.

Hi, I'm Zach, the founder of Lift The Curve, where I help teams working on planet and society scale problems adopt entrepreneurial mindsets and high-performance habits that are proven to improve time to impact, decrease risk, and foster team wellbeing. Before putting my founder hat back on, I was a Managing Director for the Techstars Sustainability Accelerator in partnership with The Nature Conservancy and the Techstars Boulder accelerator. Before Techstars, I joined the executive team at Rally Software pre-revenue and, along the journey to a successful IPO, had many roles, including CTO.

As a founder of 5 companies, I love working with entrepreneurs from high-level strategy to the inner game of managing the ups and downs of the experience. Over the years, the products guided by my technical and product leadership have accumulated over $1 billion in revenue.I graduated with distinction from CU Boulder with a computer science degree and extensive studies in psychology. When I'm not working, you can find me spending time with my family or looking through a camera.
