Startups
I divide my time between investing and advising young, growing businesses.
Founders often have a clear idea of the product and the problem they want to solve, but don’t have a clear framework for actually building a business. In my career I’ve analysed businesses large and small in virtually every sector. I’ve also advised and directed multiple startups. In particular I enjoy helping founders understand the following.
Strategy: how to turn an idea into a business with a competitive advantage and compelling economics.
Prioritisation: what do you need to do today to deliver on your long term potential?
Building simple but robust operating processes.
Capital allocation and financial planning.
Deal structuring: with employees, partners, investors, and buyers.
Helping founders tell their story to investors.
Need a mentor, a cofounder you can get rid of, a bouncing board for ideas, or some moral support? Email me.
