Office Hours

30 minutes,
founder to founder.

I keep a few slots open each week to sit down with founders and operators — whether you're building a startup, scaling an established business, or trying to figure out where AI actually fits.

I've started and sold companies, made 50+ angel investments, and I still run businesses day to day. So bring me the real problem — the thing you'd talk about with another operator, not the polished version. Tell me where you're stuck and what you want out of the time, and if I can help, my assistant Tessa will get you on the calendar.

No charge. No pitch theater. Come with a real question.

A good fit if you're…

  • A startup founder raising now or planning to
  • An owner taking an established business to the next level
  • A team that wants a real plan to implement AI

Come prepared

  • Startups: a deck, including prior fundraising + cap table
  • Existing businesses: a one-page overview with your key metrics
  • One specific thing you want help with

Apply for a session

Five questions and your deck. Fields marked * are required. Not every applicant gets a slot — I read each one personally.

Estimates are fine — I want the shape of the business, not audited numbers. Please include what you can of:

  • Top line & growth: TTM revenue · YoY growth % · rough mix (% recurring vs. one-off)
  • Profit & cash: rough net profit or owner take-home · headcount · how lumpy monthly cash is
  • Durability: top-customer & top-3 % · retention/repeat rate · years in business · reviews · debt
