Clarity. Alignment. Momentum.

I help founders and investors make signal-aligned decisions — so they scale smarter, invest better, and grow with conviction.

What I do

If you’re a founder looking for sharper direction, smarter decisions, and a system that scales with you — start here:

Strategic Advisory

Monthly advisory retainers for founders and funds who want clarity, alignment, and confident growth.

Signal OS™

A strategic self-assessment framework that reveals where your business is misaligned — and how to fix it.

Due Diligence

Due diligence and post-investment oversight for early-stage investors. Built for VCs, angels, and family offices who want to invest with confidence.

Who’s behind this

I’ve built things my whole life — machines, systems, businesses, ideas. Some succeeded. Many failed. But every failure left behind a signal — a pattern, a lesson, a truth.

Today, I help founders and investors identify the red flags that silently kill scale, using the models I wish I had earlier. If you’re scaling, investing, or stuck — I’ll help you find clarity before you waste time, capital, or conviction.

Who I work with

  • Early-stage founders preparing to scale
  • Growth-stage teams stuck in complexity
  • Solo builders seeking clarity before committing
  • Founders who hit milestones — and still feel misaligned
