Before either of us commits more time, let's make sure there's actually a fit.

This is for pre-seed founders preparing for their first raise. Come with one specific question. That's what makes 30 minutes useful.

Not the right fit: general startup advice, ideation stage, pitching me to invest, or looking for intros.

If there's a fit, we'll talk about what working together looks like.

A working session on one fundraising challenge.
Narrative clarity, investor targeting, round structure, deck logic... pick one. Come in with a clear question. Leave with a clear direction.

This is not coaching. No framework deck. It's the conversation you'd have with a founder who has raised multiple rounds, made the mistakes, and now sits on the investor side.

For founders 60 to 90 days from going to market with a specific challenge blocking them.

A full diagnostic to find out where you actually stand before you talk to investors.
We'll go through four things: business clarity, narrative strength, round logic, and investor fit. I'll tell you what's ready and what isn't... straight, not softened. You'll leave with a written summary of exactly what to fix before you go to market.

Most founders who book this are 60 to 90 days from raising and want to avoid going out too early, with the wrong story, to the wrong investors.

If you're earlier than that, start with the Strategy Session first.

One slot per week. If your date isn't showing, check back. I open new slots weekly.
