A senior sounding board for the founder, CEO or board, on a monthly retainer. Someone who has held the operating, product and commercial roles, to think through the calls only you can make, before you make them.
Any one of these is reason enough to talk.
It is whatever you are deciding this month. These come up most.
Where the business is going, what to do first, and what to stop doing.
Deals, partners, pricing and the terms behind them, before you sign.
What to build next, and what the market will actually pay for.
The narrative, the numbers and the room, prepared with you.
Who to hire, when, and how to judge them when you have not done it before.
Investors, co-founders, partners. Thought through before they happen.
Retainer, monthly, cancel with notice. The commitment is negotiable and depends on what you need.
A fixed weekly or fortnightly session with the founder or CEO. Yours to set the agenda, ours to push on it.
Questions by message when a decision cannot wait. You get a straight answer, not a meeting request.
Preparation before the meeting, a candid read after it, and attendance where it helps.
If a problem needs hands, the engagement can step up to a diagnostic or a fractional role. It does not have to.
Advisory works because everyone knows where it stops.
We advise. You decide and execute. If you want us to run it, that is a different engagement, and we will say so.
No fiduciary role, no vote, no conflict of interest. We work for the person in the chair.
No decks for the sake of decks. The output is better decisions, made sooner.
Tell us what is on your desk. If it is a decision, we can help. If it is a job, we will say so.
