Strategy counsel for teams who ship — not just slide decks.

Boutique strategy partner for PE-backed rollups, founder-led SaaS, and regional brands preparing for their next capital event — short sprints, explicit artifacts, decisions your COO can defend.

Selected engagements

Representative engagement patterns — details anonymized where strategy work is sensitive.

B2B SaaS

Pipeline triage

Rebuilt ICP scoring with product usage signals — cut sales cycle noise without starving growth.

Consumer

Launch runway

Coordinated retail + DTC launch with inventory guardrails and a single source of truth for finance.

Services

Capacity model

Shifted from hourly storytelling to outcome packaging — margin up, churn of wrong-fit clients down.

How we work

Short sprints, explicit artifacts, and a bias toward decisions your COO can defend.

Evidence first

We start from ledgers, CRM exports, and support themes — not generic market maps.

One-page clarity

Every phase ends with a decision memo your board can skim in five minutes.

Operator chemistry

We embed with finance and GTM leads; we don’t parachute decks from the sidelines.

Exit-aware

We design recommendations that survive diligence — no fairy-tale synergy math.
