Business Strategy

Clear plans for founders and operators, from the first business model to the next stage of growth.

Good strategy is mostly deciding what not to do. We work with founders and leadership teams to turn a pile of possibilities into a plan with numbers, owners, and dates, and then help you keep it honest as reality shows up.

Startup business planning

  • Business model and unit economics
  • Financial projections that investors and lenders will take seriously
  • MVP scoping: what to build first and what to fake
  • Go-to-market, pricing, and an early sales process
  • Pitch material and investor preparation

Strategy for established companies

  • Annual operating plans and quarterly priorities
  • Pricing and packaging
  • Technology roadmaps tied to business goals
  • Build, buy, or partner decisions
  • Preparing for a sale, a raise, or a succession

How we work

Short, structured engagements. A planning sprint usually runs four to six weeks and ends with a written plan, a working model, and a 90-day action list. Ongoing advisory is available after that.

A short note is enough. We read every message and reply personally, usually within two business days.
