Maya builds.

i. the founder turned advisor

At 20, Maya spent her life savings of $2,000 on the first Alchemize product after realizing the industry had built everything for male bodies. Seven years later, Alchemize has raised funding, done multi-millions in sales, is worn by Olympians and UFC fighters, and become a global movement. Maya has also built the largest all-women's grappling retreats in the world.

Maya was named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, and in 2025, she walked into the Shark Tank and walked out with a deal from three sharks.

Maya now advises founders on brand positioning, fundraising narratives, system building, and AI implementation. If you're a founder looking to supercharge your growth, book a call.
