Flat-fee No equity No retainers No sugarcoating

The advice everyone else is too polite to give you.

Flat-fee consulting for early-stage startup founders who need honest diagnosis, not comfortable frameworks. We tell you what is actually wrong before it costs you.

Who this is for

Built for early-stage startup founders wherever they are in the journey.

Whether you are validating an idea, navigating your first year after launch, or growing a product that feels like something is off, we work with founders who have never had someone genuinely experienced sit down and give them an unfiltered view of what is happening.

Not just first-time founders. Any founder who is building without an honest advisor in their corner. The ones who are smart enough to know they have blind spots but cannot name them yet.

We are two operators who are actively doing this work at a professional level, right now. Not theorists. Not ex-consultants. We look at your actual business and tell you exactly what we see.

01
Building your first version

You have an idea, maybe a prototype. The model, the market, and your core assumptions have not been tested against reality yet.

02
Post-launch, pre-clarity

You have users, maybe revenue. Something feels off. Traction is unclear and no one in your orbit is giving you a straight answer.

03
Growing but unsure

You are moving. You are not sure if the foundation holds. Unit economics, product gaps, or competitive blind spots could surface at any moment.

How it works

Simple, flat-fee, no hidden anything.

01
Tell us where it hurts

Fill in the form below. Tell us about your startup, what stage you are at, and which of the six services you think you need. If you are not sure, tell us what feels broken and we will figure it out.

02
We run the diagnosis

We go deep on the specific area you have engaged us for. No surface-level advice, no templated reports. We look at your actual product, your actual numbers, and your actual market, then form an honest view.

03
You get a clear action plan

A tight, prioritised set of findings and next steps. Not a 40-page deck. The specific things that need to change and in what order, so you leave knowing exactly what to do next.
