Send a deck, a model, a memo — he reviews your materials before session one. His rule: if you don't over-prepare for meetings, you will hurt your success.
Split on purpose. You get advice, you go chew on it, you come back sharper.
After the second session, you can come back with the question that surfaced once the dust settled.
You're a post-traction tech or life sciences founder with a real decision on the table. Raise or don't, pivot or push, build the board or wait. Or you simply want an hour inside a mind that's seen hundreds of these.
You're at the idea stage. You're looking for introductions. You're hoping this leads to a check.
"When you have six or seven figures on the line, you need to talk to a few people that have been there."
Three decades as an operator. Two as an investor. Names withheld — the numbers speak.
Chairman of , a public company he joined pre-revenue — now valued over half a billion dollars
Alongside 15+ advisory board seats.
21 years in venture. Eight figures of personal capital deployed.
Tech, AI, life sciences, and professional services. Pre-seed through IPO. Part of raises totaling well into nine figures.
Built from one service line to more than a dozen over 15 years
Founded the firm, bought out both partners, built its board, created a proprietary executive network — serving multi-billion-dollar enterprise clients.
#1 globally in sales and services revenue at a category-leading enterprise software company
Offered a global VP of Sales role in his late twenties. Walked away to build his own firm instead.
#1 of 10,000 sales reps nationally at a global telecommunications company
Top-2 nationally at a medical products company.
Started in straight-commission, door-to-door sales in college
By his final years he'd recruited and managed 120+ reps at what was then among the largest employers of college students in the US.
Founders have gone deep with him on:
He started with 120 investment criteria; twenty years narrowed it to a handful. Everyone says leadership and team. He'll tell you what inside those words actually matters — and why the other hundred turned out to be noise.
Why VC checks almost never come from cold emails, how lead investors actually get found, and what individual investors look for that VCs don't.
How to build one, who to pick, how to divide contribution and expertise. He's assembled them for companies from pre-seed to public.
Why teachability is the trait he screens hardest for — and how to know which advice to implement.
Two decades on the other side of the table. Get the view from that chair before you're in front of it.
Most ventures fail, timelines run 7–12 years not 3–5, and the famous stories are survivorship bias. "Most of what I've learned is not in textbooks."
Apply — five questions
Your application is reviewed for fit
Approved founders sign a short agreement
Payment and materials
Sessions scheduled
He refuses to provide less value than what you pay. The application exists for one reason: to make sure you walk away with a return on your $5,000. If he doesn't believe he can deliver that on your situation, he won't take your money.
A rejection isn't a judgment of your company. It's him declining to sell you something he can't out-deliver.
His reputation is worth more than an ad. The founders he works with know exactly who he is.
You will too.
Current availability: he's opening three engagements this quarter.
Yes — for your personal use. Publishing, sharing, or attributing anything to him is barred by the participant agreement. He assumes recording anyway; the agreement protects distribution, not memory.
No. No introductions, no referrals, no funding — contractually. He's spent thirty years protecting the network you'd be asking him to spend. What you get instead is the judgment that built it.
Because he prepares. Your materials get reviewed before session one — his rule is an hour minimum, often more. Two prepared working sessions plus a follow-up window from someone at his level is priced below what his time trades for. He also refuses to take the fee if he doesn't believe he can out-deliver it — that's what the application is for.
Whatever gives the sessions a head start: deck, model, memo, the board email that's keeping you up. Optional — but he'll use everything you send.
It means he didn't believe he could deliver $5,000 of value on your specific situation. You pay nothing, and you're welcome to reapply when things change.
There isn't one. Payment is due on approval and is non-refundable — his preparation begins the moment your materials arrive, and the preparation is part of what you're buying. Sessions can be rescheduled with 24 hours' notice.
Five questions. Reviewed personally — no calendar link, no payment until you're approved.
