Advisory
Retainer.
On-call product and growth judgment, introductions where they help, and a quarterly review. For founders who want a senior operator in their corner without a full engagement.
What's included.
- 01A direct channel. Slack or WhatsApp, with a reply within one business day. Draft pricing, a hiring brief, an onboarding flow, a subscription plan change: send it over.
- 02Introductions where they help. To people I know personally, and only when the fit is real for both sides. I don't broker deals.
- 03Quarterly review. One 90-minute session per quarter. Business review, a look back at the big decisions, and the next quarter's three priorities on a single page.
- 04Ad-hoc reviews. A pitch deck, a roadmap, a key hire's scorecard. Bring it, I'll read it, and you'll have comments within two business days.
Who this fits.
Seed-stage founders who want senior product and growth judgment on call without a full retainer. Product and growth leaders who want a sounding board on subscriptions, retention, activation, loyalty or payments, the areas I've led.
Who it doesn't.
If your month looks like a crisis, this isn't the right shape; Principal counsel is closer. If you need someone to do the work, not just pressure-test it, that's Fractional Growth & Product. Advisory is high-signal and low-surface-area, and it works best when the scope stays that way.
How it runs.
- Fit call. 30 minutes. If the fit is wrong, I'll say so on the call. If it's right, the retainer starts the following Monday.
- Month one — Onboarding. I read your key numbers and plans, talk to one or two of your people, and write the first quarterly priorities.
- Then — Cadence. On-call access, introductions and quarterly reviews, month to month. A bigger engagement happens only if a specific project needs it, and only if you ask.
