Work with me.

Three focused services, built from a decade of actually doing the work. First conversation is always free — book a call or send a message.

💛

I operate on a #GiveFirst philosophy. If your project doesn't need a full engagement and I can see that in the first call, I'll tell you — and give you my honest advice for free. That's how I was trained at Techstars.

Services

Three things I'm genuinely great at.

01
Go-to-Market Strategy

I've taken a product from $0 to $1M/month in revenue. I know what actually moves the needle vs. what sounds good in a strategy deck. I'll help you define your ICP, nail your channel strategy, sequence your launch, and build a GTM plan that fits your actual budget — especially for consumer goods and ecommerce brands.

Brand Identity Mapping

Most brands don't have a voice problem — they have a clarity problem. In four hours with your founding team, I'll run a structured Brand Identity Map: archetype discovery, tone-of-voice framework, positioning, and a final Brand Identity Document your whole team can use forever. You'll leave knowing exactly what your brand sounds like — and what it would never say.

Website Design & Development

A beautiful, fast, SEO-optimized, brand-first website delivered within 24 hours of kickoff. Built in Webflow or custom HTML/CSS. I build for conversion, search ranking (including AI search), and your specific industry context — not from a template. This website is an example of my work.

I work hourly, per-project, or on retainer where it makes sense. If you're not sure which fits, book a free intro call — we'll figure it out. If I can help you in one free conversation, I will.
Book a Call

Let's talk!
I love chatting.

Feel free to book a 30-minute conversation about what you're building, what's blocking you, and whether I'm the right person to help somehow.

I'll always be honest with you — if you don't need a paid engagement, I'll just tell you and give you my best advice anyway!

  • 30 minutes, no strings attached
  • Review any materials you send in advance
  • If it's a fit, we scope a project together
  • If it's not, I'll point you somewhere better

FAQ

Common questions.

Do you do free consultations? ↓
Yes — the intro call is always free. If I can solve your problem in one call, I genuinely will. Full engagements are paid.
Can you help with Demo Day or pitch prep? ↓
Absolutely. I teach "How to Pitch" at Techstars Boulder and Miami. If you're in an accelerator, reach out. Otherwise this falls under GTM Strategy.
What's your availability? ↓
I have a full-time job at Riviera Partners and active side ventures, so I take a small number of consulting clients at a time. Book a call and I'll give you current lead time.
Do you work with startups with tight budgets? ↓
Yes. If your budget doesn't fit my standard rates, reach out anyway. I don't turn everyone away — especially Techstars companies and bootstrapped founders.
