CodeSwtch Capital Assessment
A first-of-its-kind diagnostic tool for founder-centered venture development.
Unlike traditional accelerators or fellowships that focus narrowly on venture stage or founder fit, our Capital Compass Assessment is a trailblazing tool designed to identify what truly drives long-term success: your capital fluency.
CodeSwtch Diagnostic
Are you a founder—nonprofit or for-profit—preparing to apply for an accelerator, fellowship, or grant and unsure if your application tells the right story?
Or maybe you’ve been turned down and want expert eyes to help unpack what might have gone wrong—or what could go right next.
We’re not a traditional venture capital firm. We’re a capital-building firm. We invest in founders through knowledge, systems, community, and support, expanding what capital means and who gets to access it. In the future, some of our programs may include direct financial capital. So, stay connected with us for updates on how we’re evolving to meet the needs of bold changemakers.

Hey! I’m a multidisciplinary entrepreneur and researcher with roots in secure software, AI ethics, and community-centered leadership. I own a consulting company, Goshen Labs, to help nonprofits and small businesses navigate risk, protect their systems, and grow with confidence.
My background is a blend of computing security, applied math, and social science—which means I’m always thinking about how people, technology, and strategy connect. I love building bridges across industries and helping founders find the right people, tools, and ideas to move their vision forward.
At CodeSwtch, I serve as a Network Strategist and Mentor—supporting early-stage founders by making meaningful connections, offering thought partnership, and helping them get venture-ready in a way that aligns with who they are.
CodeSwtch is for you if...
Visionary Dreamers
You’ve got the vision — now you need the blueprint.
You have a solid idea and the passion to back it, but you’re not sure how to structure it, grow it, or explain it in a way others can see. You’re ready to do the deep work — to build something real, from the inside out. You're open to guidance, reflection, and learning the fundamentals with intention — and you're ready to build with purpose.
Visionary Builders
You’ve built something real — now you need to get it right.
You’ve launched your prototype, MVP or pilot, tested your idea and gotten some traction. But cracks are showing — in your systems, your strategy, your support. You’re wearing every hat, trying to do it all, and the weight is getting heavy. You know there’s something here, but you need more than encouragement — you need real structure, sharper strategy, and a path that doesn’t burn you out. You're ready to strengthen your foundation, refine your approach, and build with clarity.
Visionary Strategists and Execs
You’ve done the building — now you need the space to think.
We specialize in working with early and mid-stage founders who are ready to turn ideas into strategy and prototypes into sustainable growth. However, we occasionally offer thought-partnership and strategic reflection to more advanced founders when our capacity allows — especially when deep listening and outside perspective are more valuable than step-by-step guidance.
Faith-based option available
We offer a faith-based track that includes spiritual mentorship, prayer support, and discernment coaching from a Christian perspective—woven into any of the services we offer, including the Learning Studio, Co-Think Lab, or Application Diagnostic. This optional track is available for founders who want to integrate their faith into their entrepreneurial journey.
Before I started CodeSwtch Capital Ventures, I was a founder—like so many others—with a bold vision, a tested idea, and a deep passion to help people.
I went through prestigious accelerator programs, learned new skills, built connections, secured funding, and saw real impact from my work. People’s lives were changing. The programs believed in me—I was chosen out of hundreds of applicants, again and again. Still, I struggled to build a business that could truly sustain me. And that disconnect left me feeling ashamed and alone.
I knew I was brilliant. I knew my work mattered. So why couldn’t I make it work?
It took time—and a lot of honest reflection—for me to realize that the issue wasn’t me. The support I had was valuable, but incomplete.
Founders need more than capital and content. We need capacity. We need deep, personalized support that sees us as whole people.
Through the lens of social science, I began to examine what “capital” really means. I saw that founders don’t just need business acumen and financial capital—they need social capital, cultural fluency, technological savvy, and most of all, relational support. I didn’t need more advice. I needed people to walk with me. I needed to be seen.
That’s why I created CodeSwtch Capital Ventures—to provide the kind of holistic, human-centered support I was missing. We’re here to help founders uncover and strengthen the diverse forms of capital they already carry and connect them to what they still need.
Because brilliance shouldn’t slip through the cracks just because someone doesn’t have access, proximity, or capacity yet.
My role at CodeSwtch is to shape the future of our work—designing innovative programs, mentoring the next generation of leaders, and building a firm that believes thriving should be sustainable.
We’re here to walk with you—not just so you can dream bigger, but so you can actually build it.
For real. For good.

Our Vision: Reimagining Capital for Impact
At CodeSwtch Capital Ventures, we reimagine capital as a diversified portfolio of assets that drive startup success. In addition to Financial Capital (resources to fund and scale ventures), we believe 4 additional types of capital collectively create a robust foundation for founders to Build. Grow. and Sustain. their ventures:
Social Capital: Networks and relationships that unlock opportunities and credibility.
Cultural Capital: Fluency in the language, behaviors, and norms of exclusive business spaces.
Intellectual Capital: Specialized knowledge, expertise, and strategic thinking that transform ideas into market-ready solutions.
Techno-Capital: Digital competence and skills that enhance scalability and social capital in digital contexts.
This strategic blend cultivates sustainable ventures that produce lasting impact.
Outcomes : What Founders Gain
Many founders, even after accelerators, struggle to sustain momentum. By acquiring and combining various forms of capital, founders have more "buying power" to unlock transformative outcomes. CodeSwtch systematizes this capital acquisition. Through CodeSwtch’s support, founders can expect to:
✅ Learn how to identify, curate, and cultivate a robust network of strategic relationships that opens doors to opportunities and establishes trust and credibility in their sector.
✅ Adopt and master the language, behaviors, and norms of the startup world, confidently navigating its environment to secure funding, partnerships, and influence.
✅ Craft a clear mission and vision foundation and develop core operational know-how to convert ideas into market-ready solutions.
✅ Learn to use digital solutions to effectively run your business and maintain strong relationships.
What Sets CodeSwtch Apart
Most accelerators treat founders like a cohort. We treat you like a whole person.
At CodeSwtch, we don’t offer one-size-fits-all programs or generic playbooks. Our support is highly individualized — built around your specific venture stage, lived experience, and goals. Whether you're building a nonprofit or for-profit, just getting started or already gaining traction, your path gets tailored to you.
We start with assessment, not assumptions.
We listen before we teach.
And we walk with you every step — not just to give advice, but to build your capacity.
Here’s how we’re different:
🔹 Mentorship That Teaches, Not Just Tells
Through our CodeSwtch Learning Studio, we offer immersive, 1:1 mentorship grounded in our Learn. Do. Plan. model. Each session is a structured space for learning new concepts, applying them to your venture, and planning your next move with clarity and confidence.
🔹 Thought Partnership That Sparks Clarity
Our CodeSwtch Co-Think Lab is where you come to think out loud, solve problems, and design strategy — side-by-side with a thought partner who gets it. It’s not coaching or consulting — it’s collaborative, capital-informed thinking to move you forward.
🔹 Personalized Capital Assessments
With the CodeSwtch Capital Assessment, we help you identify your strongest assets, spot your gaps, and build the capital — financial, social, cultural, intellectual, and technological — that your venture needs to grow and thrive.
🔹 Tailored, Not Template-Based
We use your insights, our frameworks, and AI-enhanced support to create a truly personalized experience. From session notes to strategic tools, everything is designed for your context — not pulled off a shelf.
A Culturally Aware Approach
At CodeSwtch, we believe code-switching is more than survival — it’s strategy. We expand the practice of code-switching beyond a linguistic tool into a multidimensional skillset: a way to translate powerful ideas into language and skills that moves systems. For underestimated founders — those whose cultural, grassroots, or hyperlocal approaches are often overlooked by dominate institutions — mastering this form of strategic communication becomes a kind of currency. It’s how vision gets resourced. It’s how legitimacy is built without compromising authenticity.
CodeSwtch celebrates business approaches shaped by lived experience. We teach founders to honor the brilliance of their cultural norms while learning how to translate that brilliance into partnerships, funding, and broader influence. Whether you’re a community leader with grassroots solutions or a tech innovator with a specialized lens, we help you build diverse capital — not just to participate in existing systems, but to reshape them.
We’re not a venture capital firm — we’re a venture capacity firm. We invest in the knowledge, tools, and ecosystems that help underrepresented founders thrive. In the future, some of our programs may include direct capital — so stay connected with us for updates on how we’re evolving to meet the needs of bold, early-stage changemakers.
