Bio
If another late night could fix it, you'd have fixed it by now.
Most founders are busy, tired, and too close to the work. You sell it, deliver it, win the clients, fix the problems, and carry the standards in your head. At some point the hours stop paying off. The advice you get starts to contradict itself. And you quietly retreat to the part of the business you know best, even when that's no longer what the business needs from you.
I mentor founders on the commercial and strategic side: pricing, positioning, validation, business model, cash, the numbers that matter, and the decision you've been circling for months.
Usually one of these is true. You're busy but can't point to what's actually moved. You're at a crossroads and need to make the call. You're still the bottleneck, with too much running through you. Or something feels off, but everyone around you is advising from the outside.
I've built teams, advised founders, walked away from safe work, and made enough expensive mistakes to know that effort is rarely the thing that's missing. The harder part is seeing the business clearly enough to make the right call.
So that's what every session is built around. We look at what's really going on. We find what's blocking progress. We turn it into one specific action. Next time, we check whether you did it.
This is for founders who want a straight answer, a clear next move, and someone close enough to the business to keep them honest.
If you want someone who'll tell you what they actually see, book a call.
