If you are
- Are an early- or growth-stage startup. Think seed to series B or C. Or before you put together a "full suite" of done-this-before VPs.
- Building a core product directly applied to problems. i.e., if you are primarily a research shop, I may not add value.
I can help
- Own and execute your "firsts." New pricing model, new channel, expanded product line, GTM in a new geo, spin up a new team, etc.
- Work with or advise your team on specific initiatives. Quick and dirty v0, mature a v0->v1, team turnarounds, etc.
- Tap into my partner network to help you build or expand quickly. Think outsourcing with fewer downsides.
Situations I have helped founders tackle
- SMB success. Moving up to enterprise. Need interim support while I hire sales & product heads. (Function-specific AI/SaaS)
- Highly regulated market, co-founder heads product. Product struggles between compliance and efficacy. (Insurtech, tech team of 55)
- First head-of-product hire didn't work out. Turn the team around, keep shipping, and help us ID the right fit. (Fintech, ~60 devs)
- 'Core' product can be valuable. 'Whole' product doesn't fit / weak PMF. (SaaS, AI-driven personal productivity)
- Deployed in half a dozen enterprises. Time to consolidate the product into a platform. Help build v1 and platform-first mindset. (New category in sales tech)
- Leaky bucket. X.xx% monthly churn. Have to reacquire the entire base every XX months. (Healthcare, $50m revenue)
- We execute well. But we don’t measure well. We scale the bad as well as the good. The bigger the mess… (Healthcare, ~30 devs)
- Revenue is up. NPS is down. (Subscription Ecommerce)
- Sales and product leadership need help to work better together. (Enterprise SaaS/AI)
