Bring the brief.
I'll bring the framing.

Selective engagements only. Send the brief below — or just email me directly. Either way, I'll personally reply within 48 hours with a read on whether there's a fit.

The brief

A few honest answers. Then a real reply.

Answer what you have answers to. Leave the rest blank. The honest version of each answer is more useful to me than the polished version. Takes most founders 10–15 minutes.

Basics

The work

What kind of help do you think this is?

Optional · the most useful answers I get

This is the question that tells me most about whether we'll work well together. Skip it if you'd rather get into it on a call.

One human reply within 48h. No newsletter, no follow-up sequence.

Thanks — that's in.

I'll personally reply within 48 hours with a read on whether there's a fit. If we're a match, the next move is a thirty-minute call to discuss the actual problem.

Don't want to fill it out?

Just email me.

Three honest sentences beat thirty form fields. The shortest version of your actual problem is the one most useful to me.

What happens next

A simple process.

No drawn-out discovery calls. No pitch decks. The first conversation is thirty minutes, focused on the actual problem, and ends with a clear next step — either a scoped engagement proposal or a referral to someone better-fit.

01

Intro call

Thirty minutes. The problem, the constraints, what's already been tried. Honest read on whether there's a fit.

02

Scope

A short written proposal. One page. Outcomes, sequencing, and time commitment — nothing decorative.

03

Start

Diagnostic kicks off within ten business days. Working sessions, not status meetings. Decisions get made.

Based in Toronto

Working with founders across North America.
