our story – from the founder
Welcome to Brainstorm Austin! My name is Mehul Patel and am a sort of hybrid between consultant and small business coach, focusing both on helping clients tackle specific business issues as well as providing general guidance for entrepreneurs. I have been in the small business world my entire life and love the challenge of figuring out how to create something new. I’ve also found that I really enjoy helping others start their own projects, so I started Brainstorm Austin to reach out beyond my own network of friends and support other entrepreneurs.
Brainstorm Austin is a bit different than traditional consulting or business coaches. I start with a hands-on background in the unique world of small business and know that every company is unique. I want to know more about you, and will work collaboratively with you wherever you are in your entrepreneurial journey, whether it’s just exploring the idea of starting a business or looking to take your company to the next level. Over the years, I’ve worked with numerous business partners, fellow entrepreneurs, independent contractors, and employees. Together, they form an immense network of independent expertise and knowledge that can add the value to the services we provide.
