How We Work Together
Engagements built for founders who move fast.
Every engagement is structured around your stage, your goals, and the decisions that matter most right now. No retainers for the sake of retainers.
Engagement Types
Choose the right level of involvement.
Clarity in 30 days.
Discovery Sprint
A focused, time-boxed engagement to pressure-test your concept, validate your market assumptions, and build a go-forward roadmap. Ideal for founders pre-launch or at a strategic inflection point.
What's included
Ideal for
Pre-launch founders and teams reconsidering direction
Ongoing strategic partnership.
Venture Advisory
A recurring monthly engagement for founders who want a seasoned operator in their corner. David works alongside you on the decisions that shape trajectory — capital, team, product, and market.
What's included
Ideal for
Founders actively building and scaling their venture
Committed, accountable involvement.
Board & Fractional Roles
For companies that need more than advice — David takes a formal seat at the table as a board member, advisor, or fractional executive. Structured for accountability and long-term value creation.
What's included
Ideal for
Growth-stage companies seeking committed leadership
What to Expect
Experience and guidance. We don't work with assholes either.
A candid first conversation
Every engagement starts with a discovery call. David will tell you if he thinks the firm can help — and if not, possibly point you toward someone who can or advise you to quit.
Structured, not open-ended
Engagements have clear scope, defined outputs, and measurable milestones. You'll always know what you're getting and what success looks like.
Pattern recognition from the inside
David has sat in the founder's seat through exits, pivots, and failures. The advice comes from lived experience, not frameworks borrowed from a textbook.
Not sure which engagement fits?
Start with a 30-minute discovery call. David will help you figure out the right level of involvement — or tell you honestly if the timing isn't right.
No commitment required. Typically responds within one business day.
