Three ways in.

All three run the same sequence. What changes is depth and duration.

The Diagnostic

"Something's leaking and I can't tell where."

A two-week sprint to find the constraint — before you spend another quarter fixing the wrong one.

You leave with:

  • · An early-adopter profile, reverse-engineered from who actually buys — not who fills the pipeline
  • · A competitive map with your defensible wedge named
  • · The faster path named: direct, or a channel or partner, where one beats going direct
  • · A read on which stage is actually broken
  • · A prioritized sequence for the next 90 days
  • · A retention read on your current customers — whether the first ten are proof or coincidence

Fixed fee. Two weeks. The usual entry point.

The 0→1 Build

"I'm the only person who can sell this."

The core engagement. Eight to twelve weeks turning founder-led selling into a motion someone else can run — without scaling something that isn't ready yet.

You leave with:

  • · An early-customer profile and qualification criteria
  • · Positioning and narrative written for the budget owner, not the user
  • · Pricing and packaging, v1
  • · Channel and motion design
  • · A tested outbound or activation cadence
  • · An early-warning read on which of your first customers won't renew, and why
  • · The artifacts your first revenue hire needs on day one

8–12 weeks. Scoped per engagement.

Retained Advisor

"I know the next move. I don't know how to sequence it."

Monthly advisory for founders navigating a specific inflection — first AE hire, moving upmarket, opening a second segment, or a motion transition: B2B2C, consumer→enterprise, PLG→sales-led. Naming the transition is half the work.

Every new segment has a first ten. Series B founders opening a second market are back at the start of the same sequence — the stage most teams assume they've outgrown.

How it runs:

  • · Recurring working sessions, with async access between them
  • · The artifacts that come out of both
  • · One inflection at a time — named, sequenced, and pressure-tested before you commit the team to it

Monthly. Minimum three months.

For accelerators & funds

Cohort & Accelerator Workshops

For accelerators, funds, and founder communities. Group sessions on the Earn the Right to Scale sequence — run live against real cohort companies, not slides. Currently running with SF Startup Labs.
