Advisory Services
I offer advisory to startups as an operating partner for founders. I deliberately work with a small number of companies at a time to ensure each founder gets the focus they deserve.
Operational advisory
Tactical advice around execution, systems, and structure for technical or first-time founders. Hiring, finance, governance, etc.
Executive coaching
One-on-one coaching for founders navigating ambiguity. Strategic thinking, leadership, culture, and decision-making frameworks.
Fundraising
Structuring rounds, meeting the right VCs and angels. Pitch refinement, investor targeting, and negotiation support.
Angel Investing
I write small checks into applied AI/ML and deeptech companies, though I'm interested in any company with unique, high-leverage market position regardless of vertical. I typically meet founders before their seed round, and often pre-formation.
