Most fractional advisors cover one function. I cover the system — finance, fundraising & term-sheet negotiation, operations, technology, contracts & compliance, pricing, and strategy — because I've built businesses from zero inside Fortune 100 companies, taken companies to the public markets, and founded my own.

Before we decide what to fix, we need to know what's actually broken. My frameworks score your financial and operational health in days — not months.Learn the methodology →
Series A founder, cap table exposed by a seed term sheet signed 18 months earlier. Waterfall modeled at five exit scenarios; participating preferred negotiated out.
$8M company, founder doing three executive jobs at once, reporting 45 days late. Infrastructure rebuilt, dashboards live, controller oversight installed.
B2B SaaS at 52% gross margin in a 75% sector. Three-tier pricing architecture, value-based sales retraining, contract finance restructured.
I built Nascence AI while advising companies like yours. Ten hats, incomplete information, runway math at 2am — that experience doesn't come from a textbook. It changes how I advise. Before that: businesses built from zero inside J&J and Brown-Forman, credit systems rebuilt at Nike, reporting automated at HP, companies taken through stock-exchange IPOs.
