Hello, I'm Ash L.

I help early-stage startups build and scale platforms in complex, regulated industries. With 10+ years of experience, I've scaled B2B and marketplace products across healthcare, automotive, and civic tech. Previously, I co-founded Addicaid, a behavioral health tech startup and led product at HyreCar, where I scaled an automotive marketplace from growth stage to $35M ARR and 1.3M rental days while navigating regulatory compliance across 50 states. These experiences taught me how to thrive in regulated marketplaces like healthcare, automotive, and fintech, where compliance and operational complexity aren't obstacles but core product challenges. I specialize in helping founders navigate 0-to-1 product discovery, find product-market fit, and manage supply​/​demand dynamics through hypergrowth. I studied philosophy at the University of Chicago and biohealth sciences at Harvard.
