Growth
I review acquisition, activation, retention and subscription economics.

Fundraising
We work out how much to raise, what it pays for and which milestone the round should reach.
04
Pitching and deck feedback
I review the deck slide by slide, remove weak claims and rehearse the pitch with you.

Building with AI agents
We map one company workflow, decide what agents can do and where a person must approve.
