Description
Founder Advisory is designed for founders who want an experienced strategic thought partner as they build and grow their company. Rather than focusing on a single challenge or milestone, this engagement provides ongoing guidance across the most important product, customer, and business decisions facing your startup. Over ten hours of personalized 1:1 advisory sessions, we’ll work together to evaluate strategic opportunities, validate assumptions, prioritize initiatives, and navigate the inevitable tradeoffs that arise as your company evolves. Whether you’re refining your product strategy, engaging customers, evaluating AI opportunities, preparing for growth, or making critical founder decisions, each session is tailored to your current priorities. This package is ideal for founders who value an experienced sounding board. Someone who will challenge assumptions, provide objective feedback, and help improve the quality of strategic decisions over time.

Additional details
Coaching delivered via live sessions.
Founder Advisory is delivered through ten hours of live 1:1 advisory sessions, typically scheduled over several weeks or months to provide continuity as your business evolves. This flexible format allows us to address new challenges as they arise, review progress, and adapt your strategy based on customer feedback and market conditions. Prior to each session, you’re encouraged to share any relevant updates, documents, customer insights, or strategic questions so we can focus our time on the decisions that matter most. Between sessions, you’ll have limited messaging support for follow-up questions and strategic clarification. Unlike a traditional coaching program, Founder Advisory is designed to provide ongoing strategic partnership, helping you think through important decisions, challenge assumptions, and maintain momentum as you build your company.
Package Terms * This package includes 6 hours of live 1:1 coaching, typically delivered as ten 60-minute sessions. Sessions may also be combined into longer blocks by mutual agreement. * Before our first session, clients should complete a brief intake questionnaire and share any relevant materials (business summary, product overview, customer research, pitch deck, roadmap, or notes) at least 24 hours in advance. * Coaching is tailored to your startup’s stage, goals, and current challenges.

Product Leader Turned AI Founder | Coaching Early-Stage Founders
Over the last 25+ years, I’ve built my career across engineering, enterprise consulting, product management, and startup entrepreneurship. I began as a software engineer, spent several years helping enterprise customers solve complex business and technology problems as a consultant, and then spent more than 15 years leading products and product strategy in the technology industry. Today, I’m the founder of an AI startup building agentic software for enterprise customers. I coach aspiring and early-stage founders who are navigating the realities of turning an idea into a business. Whether you’re evaluating a startup idea, conducting customer discovery, building an MVP, thinking through product strategy, exploring AI opportunities, or deciding whether to leave a stable career to pursue entrepreneurship, I can help you think through the tradeoffs and avoid common mistakes. What makes my perspective different is that I’m not teaching entrepreneurship from a textbook or from a startup exit that happened years ago. I’m actively building a company today while balancing the same challenges many founders face: product development, customer acquisition, fundraising decisions, personal finances, family responsibilities, and long-term career risk. My goal is to provide practical, honest guidance grounded in real-world experience rather than startup mythology. If you’re considering a startup journey, building an AI-enabled product, or simply trying to determine whether entrepreneurship is the right next step for you, I’d be happy to help.
