You're a customer, so these 15 minutes are free.Free for customers. Serious founders only.

Fifteen minutes,made to count.

I read everything you send before we talk, so all 15 minutes go to your raise, not to background. Here's who it's for, what to send me, and how the call works.

Who it's for

For founderswho are serious

Book it if

  • You're building something real: a product, customers, or a clear path to them
  • You're raising now, or plan to in the next 6 months
  • You'll send your prep at least 24 hours before the call
  • You want straight feedback, even when it's not what you hoped

Please don't book if

  • It's still only an idea. Start with the validation guide
  • You want someone to raise the money for you
  • You can't send anything before we talk
  • You're booking "just to see"
No prep 24 hours before the call means the slot goes to the next founder. It's not personal: there are only a few free slots each week, and I give them to founders who show up ready.

Your question
You confirm the one thing you want from the call. I've already read your prep.

      
MIN 2–10
Your biggest blocker
The one thing most likely to stop this round, and exactly how to fix it.

      
MIN 10–13
Your next step
One priority for the next two weeks, and the kind of investor to go after first.

      
MIN 13–15
Intros: an honest answer
If I believe in the team, the product and the traction, I'll say who I can introduce. If not yet, I'll tell you what would change my mind.
