I plan, orchestrate, and execute across ops, comms, and design, keeping you ready to pitch and diligence ready for whenever opportunity strikes. On top of that, I use AI agents to keep output high and overhead low.
The work runs year round. Each month we decide what would most strengthen the company's position, and I get it done. So when it is time to raise, or a partner or acquirer calls without notice, you are already organized and in position.
Three things get stronger together, and keep telling the same story.
├──The story A narrative that keeps up with the company, carried through the deck, the website, announcements, and investor updates.
├──The numbers Finance, legal, HR, and security kept in order as you grow, with a data room that is ready to populate at a moment's notice.
└──The proof Figures, demos, and visuals that make hard technology clear to customers, hires, and investors.
I have done this from the inside. As the first full-time hire at Profluent, I shaped the narrative and decks with the CEO for a $35M Series A and a $106M Series B, coordinated diligence for both rounds and a $2.25B Eli Lilly partnership, and built operations as the team grew past fifty.
It starts with a free 30-minute call.

Trial 10 hours / 30 days
$2,000 / one paymentA great starting point. I look at your story, your operations, and your materials, and hand you a ranked plan: what would most strengthen the company over the next year, and what would slow growth if we didn't get ahead of it. It ends on its own after 30 days, so there is nothing to cancel. One per company.
-
Advisory 10 hours / month
$2,500 / moYour team works the plan and I advise. A standing call to set priorities each month, plus deck review, systems review, and hands-on help with small pieces.
-
Fractional 40 hours / month
$9,000 / moI work the plan with you, year round. About ten hours a week as your fractional COO, head of comms, or head of design: operations kept in order, the story kept current, the visuals built, and diligence run when a round opens.
├──One agreement It covers the trial and both monthly plans. Your hours go wherever the priorities are, and an email is enough to change plans.
├──Terms Monthly plans run month to month with 30 days' notice. A 6-month term is 5% off and a 12-month term is 10% off. End a term early and the discount on the months used is billed back.
└──Costs Hours do not roll over, and extra hours are $250 each. AI platforms such as Claude Max run on accounts you own. Nothing else is spent without your approval, and approved costs pass through with no markup.
