Fast, practical help for deep-tech startups: ship, sell, and scale.

How I help

  • Performance & scaling: profiling mindset, systems thinking, GPU/CUDA strategy where relevant.
  • Go-to-market: positioning, proposals, enterprise process, partner conversations.
  • Founder support: prioritization, tough decisions, investor narrative.

How we work

  • Free 45-minute intro + a short written action plan.
  • Hands-on pilot: 5–10 hours to execute (weekly or sprint-based).
