Hiring is expensive. Execution doesn't have to be.
Sounds wild? Here's what I actually do โ mapped to the roles you'd otherwise need to hire.
I go deep. No switching context every hour. No juggling 10 retainers.I work with 1โ2 startups at a time so I can deliver real outcomes โ even faster than most full-time teams.You get founder-level thinking, fast execution, and no fluff.If you're on this page, one of those spots might be open.
Check AvailabilityI don't just advise โ I execute. I've led and shipped across every stage of the product stack, wearing the hats your team doesn't have time (or budget) for.
"I build tools that solve real problems I've experienced first-hand as a founder."
I've built 5 startups over 17 years โ venture-backed and bootstrapped โ and learned what actually moves the needle. I now work with early-stage founders to deliver fast outcomes across product and growth. I don't advise from the sidelines. I build with you.
Built and scaled engineering teams from scratch
Solve real problems fast, not just ship features
Operate with urgency because I've been on the line
Want to move faster without adding headcount?
Let's TalkI build small, sharp tools for founders โ things I wish I had when scaling my own companies.
Write like a founder โ not a ghost. Create engaging LinkedIn content from your meetings and notes.
Learn MoreA simple, effective CRM for founders. A combination of commandline, GUI, and AI magic. No fluff, just results.

Apr 23, 2025
Iโve spent the last 17 years building companies. Some flopped. One got acquired. One scaled past Series A.
Read Full ArticleI work with a handful of founders each quarter. Reach out early.
I've built five startups, raised over $11M, and had my share of wins and wipeouts.
After my last exit, I decided to slow down โ not stop. I'm now spending the next year doing two things I care deeply about:
I work with 1โ2 startups at a time. That's it. Not to stay busy โ but to stay excellent.
If you're building something real and the timing's right, I'd love to help.
I work with just 1โ2 startups at a time โ and only when I know I can help. If you think we might be a fit, book a $1 call or drop me a message.
No fluff. No sales pitch. Just one founder talking to another.
