For founders

Founders, I never left.

The rest of the site is built for executives now, but founder work is where I started and I still do it. I built Caribu from a napkin sketch and sold it to Mattel. If you are building something real and need an operator who has actually been in your seat, you are in the right place.

Book time with me

Founder to founder

I have done the job, not just advised on it.

I raised the money. I made payroll when it was tight. I scaled through a pandemic and sold to a Fortune 500. So when we talk, you are not explaining the basics to a consultant who has only ever advised from the outside.

Bring me the thing that is actually keeping you up. Fundraising, product-market fit, a hire you are not sure about, an offer that is not converting, the messy middle of scaling. We work the real problem, not a framework.

The Dark Horse Retainer

An embedded operator partnership. Weekly calls, async support, document review, and text triage, with the engagement intentionally capped so you get real attention and not calendar management. Three-month minimum.

The War Room

Two days, one inflection point. Whether you are preparing to fundraise, scale, or exit, we build the strategy and the operational plan together in the room.
