Strategic Advisory for Founders

Stop fixing tech fires and product missteps; prevent them.

In one 90-min audit and a meeting every three weeks, I give founders an outside perspective that saves time, money, and headache.

Service Overview

The value you get:

• Prevent tunnel vision
• Kill features users won’t pay for before you build them
• Fix tech debt that fails investor due diligence
• Get unbiased answers to product and tech questions
• Validate your roadmap against real market demand

Investment: Transparent per-session pricing. No retainers, no lock-ins.

No ego, no titles, no bullshit. Just results.

Oh, you have questions?

Is this a fractional CTO?
No; I don’t manage teams. I stress-test their plans.

Payment model?
Cash per session; equity considered after fit assessment, but never equity-only.

Do you help with fundraising?
Indirectly. Strong tech and product strategy makes pitches stronger.

Do you help with hiring? I can help you define roles, but I don’t do hiring myself.

Can we meet every week? Once a quarter?
Three weeks is a good balance. More frequent leads to burnout; less frequent loses momentum.

I heard you are an excellent data scientist. Can you help with that?
Different service, different calendar. Usually overbooked, but happy to discuss on our intro call.

Zoom or in-person?
Whatever works for us.
