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
