Transformation for people, companies, and capital.
I help founders build companies that attract capital, teams sharpen how they sell, and investors deploy money with more clarity. Three pillars, one operating philosophy: think straight, move deliberately, compound.
Faith-led work. I speak and build as a Christian, and that conviction shapes how I lead, sell and steward capital.
Build the person before you build the pitch.
Two TEDx stages, a decade of coaching founders and teams, and a lived record of rebuilding after setbacks. This is where clarity, resilience and identity get rebuilt before strategy ever comes into it.
- 01Keynotes and TEDx-style talks for conferences, corporates and universities
- 02Private one-on-one coaching for founders and executives
- 03Group leadership workshops on resilience, decision-making and communication

Two decades of sales strategy, fused with AI.
I work as a sales strategist, backed by Sail Force Marketing, with over $4.5M in revenue generated for the companies I've built pipelines for. The edge is the hybrid: hard-won sales strategy, layered with AI that executes it at a volume no team can match on its own.
- 01B2B outbound systems and cold-outreach infrastructure design
- 02AI-powered sales and calling agents built for specific sales motions
- 03Sales team coaching on habits, pipeline discipline and closing technique
Human strategy sets the offer, the sequence and the qualification bar. AI runs the calling, the messaging and the follow-up around the clock. The result is qualified conversations on a schedule, not on someone's good week, with more than $4.5M in revenue generated to date.
Where capital meets clarity.
Two ventures sit inside this pillar: AETHER, matching founders with the right capital through AI, and IRIS Vision Capital, facilitating investment and managing active deal flow. Together they cover both sides of a raise.
- 01AETHER / AI-matched capital introductions between founders and funders
- 02IRIS Vision Capital / deal flow, mandate qualification, investor facilitation
- 03Investor-readiness coaching: pitch, financial narrative, data room prep
AETHER is building its go-to-market and preparing a seed round. IRIS Vision Capital is actively qualifying raise mandates, including live deal flow such as EnviraBoard, a circular-economy building materials company based in Denmark.
From Togo to three continents of deal flow.
I'm Steven Dossou. My background runs through sales management in South Africa, national business development for a Walmart subsidiary, and now venture strategy and cross-border capital markets spanning Europe, Africa and the US. I hold a Togolese passport, I'm FPAP-certified, and I write and speak in English and French. Everything I build now sits inside one of three pillars: how people grow, how companies sell, and how capital moves.
Four ventures, one operating philosophy.
