A mentor for the challenges that come with building a business.
I mentor a small number of early-stage founders the way I wish someone had mentored me: long-term, hands-on and honest, sometimes with equity, always with skin in the game.

Advisory answers a question. Mentorship walks the road. I take very few mentees at a time, because this only works when I know your business almost as well as you do.
It’s for founders near the start: an idea taking shape, or a young startup finding its first customers. You don’t need a polished deck. You need to be all in, and honest about where you are.
Running an established business with one decision in front of you? Advisory is the faster door.
Advisory solves. Mentorship builds.
Advisory solves a decision
You bring a specific problem, we work it through, and you leave with a clear next step. It can be one session or a few.
Mentorship builds a founder
No single problem to solve. We work on you and the business together, over months and years, through whatever comes.
Sometimes, with equity
For a few startups I believe in deeply, I take part of my commitment in equity. Skin in the game, both ways.

- 01
A monthly deep dive
One long working session a month: the numbers, the team, the one thing that matters most right now.
- 02
A message away
Between sessions you don't wait for a slot. A vendor quote, a hire, a pricing call: send it, I answer.
- 03
Quarterly honesty
Every quarter we stop and compare the business to where we said it would be. No stories, just the numbers.
- 04
Doors, not just advice
My network becomes yours: agencies, vendors, lawyers, operators and the people I'd call for my own companies.
Tell me your story.
Not a pitch. Just where you are, what you’re building and why it matters to you. I take on very few mentees, so I reply honestly either way.
