How We Work Together
A proven three-step approach to diagnose challenges, design solutions, and deliver measurable results.
Discover
We start with a deep dive into your business, challenges, and goals. I review your metrics, talk to your team, and identify the highest-impact opportunities.
Diagnose
I build a strategic roadmap tailored to your stage, market, and resources. You'll get clarity on what to build, how to position it, and what metrics matter most.
Accelerate
Together, we execute. Whether it's building your financial model, launching experiments, or refining your pitch, I work alongside your team to deliver results fast.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most engagements start with a discovery call to understand your goals and challenges. From there, we scope a project (typically 2–4 weeks for sprints, or ongoing advisory for fractional leadership). Deliverables vary by service—pitch decks, financial models, product roadmaps, growth experiments—but all include clear documentation and knowledge transfer.
I offer project-based pricing for defined deliverables (e.g., a financial model or pitch deck) and monthly retainers for ongoing advisory work. Pricing depends on scope, timeline, and complexity. After our initial call, I'll send a proposal with transparent pricing and milestones.
I work primarily with pre-seed through Series B startups, though I've supported companies at all stages. If you're building a product, raising capital, or scaling growth, we're likely a good fit. The sweet spot is founders who need senior strategic guidance but aren't ready for a full-time executive.
I'm open to both cash and cash+equity compensation, especially for early-stage startups where cash is tight. For ongoing advisory roles, a small equity stake (typically 0.25%–1% depending on stage and scope) plus a reduced monthly retainer can work well. We'll discuss what makes sense for your situation.
After our initial discovery call, I can usually kick off within a week. For urgent projects (fundraising deadlines, product launches), I can often accommodate faster timelines. Book a call and we'll figure out the best path forward.
I combine hands-on product and growth experience with deep financial and investment expertise. I've been in the trenches as a product leader managing P&L, built financial models for real fundraises, and executed on Wall Street. You get strategy and execution in one partner, not just a deck and a handshake.
