New Venture Consulting

You have the idea. I'll help you build the business.

I've co-founded companies that sold for billions, built sales organizations from scratch, and helped founders navigate the hardest early decisions. Now I bring that playbook directly to you.

The Roadmap

A proven process for launching ventures that last.

01

Clarify the Opportunity

We stress-test your idea against the market — who needs this, why now, and what makes you the right person to build it. Clarity here saves years of misdirected effort.

02

Build the Foundation

Strategy, structure, and the right early decisions. We map your business model, go-to-market approach, sales infrastructure, and the milestones that actually matter.

03

Launch with Confidence

Execution with accountability. I stay alongside you through the first critical months — adjusting, advising, and keeping momentum when it's hardest to maintain.

Founder Stories

What founders say after working together.

David didn't just give me a plan — he helped me see around corners I didn't know were there. Six months in, we're ahead of every milestone we set.

I'd been spinning my wheels for a year before we worked together. David cut through the noise and gave me a clear path forward. Worth every conversation.

The roadmap David built with me became the backbone of our investor pitch. We closed our seed round three months later.
