If you’re building something ambitious and want an investor-grade lens for your vision, this is where you check in first.
This isn't a demo day pitch or a quick "coffee chat." It's a focused working session where early-stage founders get strategic clarity across the full stack of startup challenges.
Business model clarity, unit economics, competitive positioning, and market sizing that holds up to investor scrutiny.
Product-market fit assessment, feature prioritization, and roadmap sequencing designed for capital efficiency.
GTM motion design, ICP definition, pricing strategy, and channel selection based on your stage and resources.
Narrative refinement, deck structure, investor targeting, and deal literacy from someone who sees both sides.
Projections that tell a story, burn scenarios that show discipline, and metrics frameworks that build conviction.
Hiring prioritization, org design, board structure, and capital allocation for founders thinking beyond the next round.
I borrow from hospitality to shape how I work with founders: a thoughtful check-in, a meaningful stay, and a useful record of what we learned together.
You share your vision, traction, and current challenges through the application below. I review every submission personally, looking for founders with a real insight about their customer or market over just a nice idea.
If there's a strong fit, we schedule time to dig in live.
During our session, we get into the details:
You can expect direct, respectful feedback and thoughtful questions.
Afterward, I keep notes on what we discussed and track how you execute over time.
For you, that means a record of your progress, a potential ally who understands your journey, and a credible advocate for you to capital and partners.
For me, I welcome the opportunity to continue refining my craft, I love seeing those I helped succeed, and hope to celebrate with you later in the journey.
The Founder Suite is designed for early-stage founders who are serious about building something venture-scale and want to be challenged, not coddled.
If you’re earlier—day zero, no deck, just a sharp insight and real conviction—pre-polish is welcome. We can pressure test your potential together before anything is polished.
Even if I never write a check, I still want to help you navigate this hard journey with a little more clarity and conviction.
Capture the signal, so we can sharpen it together.
I like to prepare thoughtfully and be useful fast. I read every submission and reply when there’s a meaningful way I can help.
Yes. I don't charge for these sessions. My goal is to build relationships with exceptional founders early—whether or not I ever invest. The value I get is deal flow, pattern recognition, and the chance to be helpful before the cap table is set.
I personally review every application. If there's a strong fit based on stage, sector, and the clarity of your insight, I'll reach out to schedule a session. If it's not the right fit right now, I'll let you know and you're always welcome to keep me updated on your progress.
Come ready to talk through your business, not just pitch it. The more honest you are about what's working, what's not, and where you're stuck, the more useful our time will be.
I'm an investor with Connetic Ventures, an early-stage fund investing across North America. But the Founder Suite is designed to be valuable whether or not investment is on the table.
Even better. Some of the best Founder Suite conversations happen before a raise, when there's space to think strategically without the pressure of a live round. Building the relationship early makes everything smoother later.
When there's genuine fit, yes. But I don't spray intros. I'll only connect you with investors where I believe there's real alignment. Quality over quantity.
