Venture diagnostic
Clarify stage, assumptions, evidence, resources, risks and the current bottleneck.
Advisory & consulting
Practical venture advice grounded in research, delivery and founder reality.
I advise founders directly and help organisations design, improve and digitise programmes for venture creation.
For founders
Make the next important decision with stronger evidence.
Founder advisory is useful when a venture has reached a decision point and generic information no longer helps. Sessions focus on diagnosis, options, evidence and concrete next actions.
Business-model development
Review value proposition, customer segment, delivery logic, pricing and revenue model.
Market validation
Design practical customer discovery, pricing and market tests that reduce uncertainty.
Investment readiness
Assess narrative, evidence, traction, financial logic and readiness for funding conversations.
Founder accountability
Translate a strategic objective into a clear 30- or 90-day action and review plan.
Programme design
Structure accelerator, incubator and venture-creation programmes around founder needs and development outcomes.
Virtual and hybrid delivery
Design effective online interaction, flexible support, mentoring and participant engagement.
Diagnostics and personalisation
Create intake, segmentation and pathway logic so participants receive relevant support.
AI-enabled support
Identify where AI can support onboarding, founder guidance, programme administration and reporting.
Evaluation and impact
Define evidence, milestones, participant outcomes and practical reporting for stakeholders.
For organisations
Build venture programmes founders can actually use.
I work with universities, accelerators, incubators, enterprise-support organisations and corporate innovation teams developing founder or venture-creation programmes.
Ways to work together
Focused advisory rather than open-ended consulting.
Advisory session
A structured conversation around one founder or programme decision, followed by a written summary.
