Work with me

I take on a small number of engagements alongside building Alvin.

The common thread is founder leverage: clearer product decisions, stronger execution and better fundraising preparation.

01

Fractional product leadership

Senior product judgment, without a full-time Head of Product.

Best for founder-led software companies that already have engineering capacity and customers, but still rely on the founder to personally translate every problem into something engineers can build.

Product strategy and prioritization
Roadmap and product definition
Requirements and acceptance criteria
Founder / engineering alignment
Customer problem synthesis
AI-native workflow design

Typical structure

5–10 hours per week, usually with one founder/product review and asynchronous execution between meetings.

02

Fundraising advisory

Help becoming more fundable — and running a better raise.

I combine experience evaluating more than 1,000 startups as an investor with the lived experience of raising venture capital as a founder.

Fundraising narrative
Investor materials and deck review
Financing strategy
Investor targeting logic
Process design and preparation
Founder pitch feedback

Advisory covers strategy, preparation and process. I do not offer broker-dealer services or success-fee capital solicitation.

Good fit

I am most useful when the problem is consequential but the company does not need another full-time executive.

If you have a founder, engineers, real customer signal and too many competing priorities, that's usually an interesting conversation.
