Selectivity Criteria

Who I Work With

Advisory bandwidth is strictly limited to ensure extreme focus and direct impact.

Ideal Fit

  • Pre-seed, Seed, or Series A founders who value customer evidence over vanity feature velocity.
  • Technical founders ready to bridge the gap between complex software engineering and true problem discovery.
  • Accelerators and VC portfolios seeking battle-tested methodology for cohort workshops and mentor-in-residence programs.

Not A Fit

  • Teams looking for an outsourced software contractor or hourly dev agency.
  • Founders seeking passive confirmation of an already decided roadmap without willingness to test assumptions.
  • Organizations prioritizing output metrics (lines of code / ticket count) over customer outcome metrics.
