Advisory designed for early-stage teams

Founder services with clear deliverables

Our services are structured as short engagements with a written plan you can execute. We focus on essentials: customer validation, pricing, runway planning, operating cadence, and go-to-market clarity. You’ll leave with next steps, a metric to track, and the minimum documentation needed to stay aligned.

Service packages

Pick a package based on the decision you’re trying to make. Each one includes a discovery call, a working session, and a follow-up summary with next steps. We’ll recommend a smaller scope if that’s the more responsible path.

What we do not do

We don’t guarantee outcomes, promise funding, or run aggressive campaigns. Our focus is decision quality and execution discipline.

Validation Sprint

1–2 weeks

A structured set of customer conversations and tests to validate problem, urgency, and willingness to pay. You’ll get an interview script, a synthesis framework, and a short decision memo.

  • Interview script and outreach plan
  • Signal checklist for go/no-go
  • Next-step experiment ideas

Pricing & Packaging Review

5–10 days

Clarify tiers, remove confusing discounts, and align your offer with buyer value. Includes a pricing page outline and a set of sales-ready talking points.

  • Tier structure and naming
  • Value anchors and guardrails
  • Objection handling notes

Runway & Metrics Setup

1 week

A lightweight metrics system built for weekly decision-making. You’ll get a runway view, a simple operating dashboard, and a meeting cadence that keeps the team aligned.

  • Net burn and committed cash model
  • Weekly dashboard structure
  • Action-oriented review agenda

Go-to-Market Clarity

2 weeks

Define target segments, messaging, and a simple pipeline approach that fits your current bandwidth. Includes a channel plan and a measurable weekly execution routine.

  • ICP and segment priority
  • Messaging map and proof points
  • Channel plan with realistic targets

How an engagement typically works

We start with your current reality: customers, constraints, and what you’ve tried. Then we pick one decision to improve and build a simple plan around it. Expect a short kickoff, one or two working sessions, and a written summary that you can share internally. If you need continued support, we can schedule a monthly check-in.
