Founder capital advisory
I help startup founders sharpen the pitch, pressure-test the ask, and work out what has to be true before investor outreach begins.
How I help
A focused first hour on your deck, narrative and investor ask. Bring the current version, not the polished version.
Secure checkout. Choose a one-hour Google Meet time after payment.
For founders who need more than deck comments. We identify the missing proof, weak assumptions and sequencing issues before a raise.
Scope and fee set after intake.
A focused view of investor fit by stage, sector, geography and cheque profile, with a reason for every name on the list.
Introductions are selective, separate and subject to compliance review.
How it works
Share the raise, traction, timing and current state of the deck. It takes about seven minutes.
You will get an immediate route based on how ready the company is for investor conversations.
If the kickoff call is the right next step, pay $250 and choose a one-hour Google Meet time.
Why this perspective
As host of the Digital Irish podcast, I speak with founders, venture investors and operators about how companies are evaluated, where pitches lose credibility and what changes across the Atlantic. This advisory work turns those patterns into practical preparation for your raise.

Useful to know
No. An introduction only happens when the company, investor and timing are genuinely aligned. It is never included automatically in a kickoff call.
No. This work covers founder messaging, fundraising preparation and investor-fit research. Use qualified legal and financial counsel for securities, terms and investment decisions.
Yes. Early is often better. The point is to find weak logic before it becomes polished weak logic.
