Strategic advisory

Clarity for the decisions that shape your company.

Strategic, financial and fundraising advisory for founders and CEOs of early-stage and growth technology companies.

Investor. Founder. CEO. CFO. Board Member.

Let’s Talk

02 — THE CHALLENGE

02 — THE CHALLENGE

The hardest decisions rarely come with complete information.

You’re raising capital while running the company. Managing runway while investing for growth. Building a plan while the assumptions keep changing. Preparing for investors and boards while still figuring out some of the answers yourself.

That’s where I come in.

03 — HOW I CAN HELP

03 — HOW I CAN HELP

Diagnose. Build. Advise.

01 DIAGNOSE — Stress Test

Find out where you actually stand — before you’re in the room.

For founders and CEOs preparing for an important fundraising process, investor conversation, or strategic decision.

In one focused session, I pressure-test your business model, narrative and plan exactly the way an investor or board member would — and tell you directly what’s working, what isn’t, and what to fix.

You’ll walk away with: a clear, honest read on where you stand and what needs to change before your next conversation.

02 BUILD — Venture Architecture

Strategy, Financial Model & Investor Readiness

For companies preparing to raise, or preparing to execute on what they’ve already raised. I build this out with you, hands-on — scoped to your situation, from a focused sprint to a multi-month engagement.

Preparing to Raise

Business Model → Financial Model → Investment Narrative → DD Readiness

Preparing to Execute

Annual Plan → Budget → Milestones & KPIs → Board Readiness

You’ll walk away with: a business that can defend its numbers and its story — on paper, and in the room.

03 ADVISE — Executive Advisory

A senior, independent sounding board for the moments that matter most.

For CEOs and leadership teams who want an experienced outside perspective at critical decision points — structured around what you actually need, from regular strategy sessions to board preparation to real-time availability.

You’ll walk away with: a steady, experienced partner in the room — someone who’s sat on both sides of the table and will tell you the truth.

That perspective shapes everything I do at AC Consulting.

No generic playbooks. No theory for theory’s sake. No telling founders what they want to hear.

Clear thinking, direct feedback and hands-on work focused on what actually moves the company forward.
