This documents goal is to describe the types of project I can help with and good next steps.

If it all makes sense, shoot me an email at [email protected]. If you’d like to get a better idea of my background check out my LinkedIn.

• Picking Projects:
  • I prioritize projects based on two factors:
    • Impact: I seek projects that leverage my expertise and create significant impact for founders, and in return mutual compensation
      • If you know exactly what you need to build, I’m probably not the best person to help, if you need a peer to collaborate with, analyze user research, operationalize scaling, and product GTM, I’m your guy.
    • Exploring new industries: I enjoy pursuing opportunities that explore different avenues and industries. Understanding new business models and industries is wonderful.
• Advisor, Consulting, Sponsorship, Presentation:
  • I distinguish between advisor and consulting engagements:
    • Advisor: I dedicate a day or half a day per month to provide guidance and support to early-stage startups
    • Consulting: I operate on a retainer-based model. I don't like having every interaction to be an investment decision and tracking hours. Fees are a function of value derived and how they align with my learning.
    • Sponsorship: I sometimes take on sponsorships for companies that I value and would like to share with others.
    • Presentations: Team training are a super fun way to get to know clients. Conference are rewarding, but sometimes can be a distraction from other work
• Situational Assessment:
  • My consulting process begins with a situational assessment:
    • I try to understand what the needs actually are:
      • Objectives - What do you think the business needs?
      • Metrics - How can we decide if it was successful?
      • Values and benefits - What do I unlock for your business?
    • This assessment allows me to tailor my recommendations to address your specific needs and goals effectively.

By following this approach, I try to understand the root of what we need to do, how I can bring my expertise to the table, and how we measure success, and quantify the impact of the work.

Next steps:

If you got this far, shoot me a short email to [email protected] about what you're looking for help on.

Here are some examples that have caught my interest:

• I’m unsure how to enable my employees with AI. Maybe an internal AI committee. Will you tailor a recommendation for me?
• I am a director at XYZ, and we're interested in building our automation system with ChatAPI. I would love to get your help understanding how feasible this project is
• I'm thinking about starting a accounting startup and would love to talk to you about what is feasible with all this agent work coming out recently.
• I’m unsure the best way to do product marketing to get in front of my audience, can you help?
