I work with pre-series-A companies to lay a foundation that enables them to find product-market-fit and grow.
For the last year, I have worked primarily with category defining startups who require a deep understanding of their buyer's psychology and behavior. Through strong customer discovery and ruthless prioritization, we collaborate to strategize a buyer journey. On top of this foundation, we make calculated investments into experimental tactics that result in incremental improvements across all stages from funnel to pipeline to activation.
