Where I can help
- Hands-on product advice
- Augment your bandwidth or embed with your team for specific initiatives
- Tap into my partner network to help you need to build or sell
Examples of situations I have helped founders tackle
- CAC too high. Convert radically better; or find other channels. (Healthcare, after $3m in ads)
- Scaling. Ops buckling. Automate. But maintain your high NPS. (Pharmacy, ops team of 30)
- Started as self-serve, for SMB. Works, but can't charge enough. Move up. (Vertical AI/SaaS)
- Largest customer wants a feature. Goes against product vision. (Enterprise SaaS/AI)
- Hired my first two PMs. Brilliant, but green. Need to level-up quick. (Ecommerce, series A)
- Product is fundamentally different & better. Not able to excite leads. (AI-first SaaS)
- 'Core' product's good. 'Whole' product doesn't fit / weak PMF. Pivot. (SaaS, AI-driven personal productivity)
- Small PM team. Great at building. Terrified of speaking to customers. (Healthcare with an offshore team)
- Co-founder leads product. She's raising the next round. Tied up for 6 months. Can't focus on capability & revenue goals. (Series A, enterprise SaaS)
- Founding CTO left. He was hands-on, as L2 leadership is green. Don’t want to stagnate 6 months while we hire and ramp. (Series A, tech team of 30)
