Since 2016, Jonathan has worked with over 150 apps, specializing in user acquisition, monetization, and investor readiness—the core drivers of sustainable startup success. His proven growth systems have delivered standout results, including leading TikTok's regional launches with 22,250 new users per month across the UK, USA, and Brazil; optimizing conversion strategy for Universal Music Group to increase annual revenue by $2.2 million; and helping HeyPal scale to one million users in just six months.

His mission is simple but powerful: to help every American family achieve financial peace of mind.
