I may be a good fit for you if
You’re seeking trusted guidance coupled with execution.


You've raised $5M and are comfortable with a
budget of $100K
(depending on scope).

You are seeking
someone who can
work across cultures
& timezones.


Let's talk about what I can do for your startup
Goal-based engagement
Is your startup not on track to achieve your next milestone? Are you unsure what to do to get back on track?
Wouldn't it be great if you could get a trusted expert to guide you throughout your journey, help you make critical decisions right, and give you visibility into the consequences of decisions before you make them, so that you can execute with confidence?
Work with me, and I’ll guide you to success.
I'd like to offer you a couple of pricing options:
Option 1: Guaranteed results: I’ll understand your goals, and commit to delivering them. In the unlikely event I fail to deliver, I’ll do whatever it takes to make things right, including redoing the work at no extra cost, giving you a partial refund, or even a full refund, whichever I feel is the appropriate resolution.
-
The fee will be $175/hour, subject to a minimum of $4K per month.
-
The bill fluctuates month to month. In the past I’ve billed as much as $20K in a single month.
-
I’ll inform you every $4K — 4, 8, 12, etc — to avoid bill shock.
-
A typical engagement costs $100K. I suggest you budget $100K to get started, and I’ll let you know if this changes as the work proceeds.
Option 2: Name your own price. It could be as low as $4k. We’ll divide it by the hourly rate of $275, and you’ll get a certain number of hours. I’ll use those hours to further the agreed-upon goals. When the hours are over, if work still remains, you can choose to repeat this process by naming another price for the next iteration, or switch to option 1.
