Advisory.
Usually it's a call. You lay out the problem, I give you a straight read based on having run these companies myself.
Two decades building and running software companies across the US, the EU, and the UK. I've owned the full P&L, run operations and sales, raised venture capital, and taken companies through to exit. Two so far.
I've held a company together through a war, payroll met and product still shipping, while moving the team across borders.
I'm also an angel in a portfolio of early-stage startups, so I see these problems from the cap-table side too.
Bring whatever's in front of you: a raise, an exit, a pricing decision, an org that's stuck. I'll tell you what I actually think, with the reasoning behind it.
- Founders going into a raise or an exit who want a second read on the deal.
- Operators and COOs working through a scaling, pricing, or org problem.
- Investors who want a quick diligence read from the operating side of the table.
- First-time founders who want a sanity check before a decision that's hard to undo.
