    Beth McKeon — Builder, Business Coach, and AI Optimist

    I create systems for founders to solve important problems. I believe women's experiences and perspectives make the world a better place. And I'm excited to leverage AI to create more connectedness and opportunity for humans in the real world.

    The Full Picture

    About Beth

    I'm a serial entrepreneur, business coach, tango dancer, and intrepid explorer.

    I've lived and worked in startup communities across the US and found home in Cambridge, MA.

    I started my first business in elementary school when I convinced my friend down the street to set up a table at the corner of our block where we sold her used toys and split the profits. For my second business, I sold Cokes out of the trunk of my car in high school when my district signed an exclusive deal with Pepsi. Those aren't the most important businesses I've created or helped grow, but they might give you a taste of how my mind works!

    A lot of people are scrambling to figure out how to win at the AI game. I'm not sure how it's all going to play out, but I know I want to be in the mix, learning and influencing the outcomes to the best of my ability. And I've never been more excited for how this levels the playing field for scrappy entrepreneurs looking to solve real problems.

    Outside of work, I fill my life with dance, art, ideas, and friends. I might be a little addicted to sauna (at least during Boston winters). I like to put myself in the way of a beginner's mind. These days, that's learning to sail and sew.

    Coaching & Acceleration

    Helping founders build fast

    My FLEX acceleration program helps founders move fast, work on the right things, and learn from customers.

    I design and facilitate training programs in collaboration with entrepreneur support organizations nationwide to serve founders across a variety of industries and stages. FLEX helps organizations scale impact without increasing team size.

    Side Projects

    The Lovable Lab

    I used Lovable so much in 2025, I ranked in the top 1% of global users! Apparently, I'm also one of the most polite users on the platform. (Gotta flex my humanity). These apps are side quests and examples of my thesis around personal software. I made these apps for myself. You might enjoy them too!

    Language Snacks

    Got a lot of vocab, but freeze up when it's time to speak? Me too. After you solve Wordle, do a Language Snack. Practice your verbal French or Spanish in 5 minutes or less.

    Elementary

    I have a lot of stuff. Keeping an inventory of everything — in case of an emergency — sounds tedious, but I bet I'd want it, if I needed it! With Elementary, I take pictures of my stuff and let the app build the list for me. Easy peasy.

    Coming Soon

    More coming soon…

    Always tinkering, always building. New experiments drop regularly.
