Stop guessing your way to market.

I interview your buyers, define your ICP and wedge, and build your GTM system.

For B2B software founders, Seed to Series B.

Where are you stuck?

01 Discover

“I don't know who my customer really is.”

•

You can't get buyers on the phone, and when you do, it turns into a pitch.

What I do

15 to 20 recorded buyer interviews, sourced through my network and outreach, then analyzed.

You get

Your ICP, wedge, and message in the buyer's words, plus 3 to 5 accounts ready to pilot.

02 Define

“We win sometimes, and I can't explain why.”

•

Only the founder can sell, and your first sales hire is coming.

What I do

Turn buyer evidence into a pitch, qualification, and sales process, tested on live deals.

You get

A sales playbook, customer case studies, and a spec for the first sales hire.

03 Scale

“Outbound is running, and we need it to work harder.”

•

Accounts come from a list, and nobody can say who to call this week or why.

What I do

Build a signal-driven outbound engine, with agentic outreach and a human approving every send.

You get

Outbound conversations triggered by buying signals.

Each stage stands alone. A 30-minute call tells us where to start.

What I do that you can't.

•
Buyers perform for the founder. They tell a stranger what actually happened.
•
Interviews cover what buyers did, never what they might do.
•
I've carried the number, so discovery ends in pilots, design partners, and sales.
