Advisory
You need someone who's been there.
I work with founders when the next decision is too important to get wrong.
Your prototype works.
Now what?
System architecture. Sensors. Compute. Power. HW/SW partitioning. Platform strategy.
A working prototype proves almost nothing about production.
I pressure-test cost, reliability, manufacturing, test, supply chain, and scale.
The wrong hire can cost a year.
The right one can change the company.
Technical leadership. Organization. Critical hires. Engineering process.
If investors don't understand the technology, they won't understand the opportunity.
I've raised a $17M Series A as CEO, and sat on the other side of the table since.
Don't build what customers say sounds cool.
Build what they will actually buy.
Product requirements. Technical roadmap. Customer conversations. Commercial strategy.
Engagement models: Retained advisory, project-based, or board-level.
Timing
When you're asking one of these out loud — that's usually enough.
Talk through it →Are we building the right thing?
Why is this BOM exploding?
What are we missing?
Who should I hire?
How do we get to production?
Why isn't the fundraising story working?
Investment
AI is moving out of the browser.
Into cars. Factories. Warehouses. Robots. Infrastructure. Machines.
That's a massive opportunity — and a brutal place to build.
Not another wrapper.
Not a science project.
Not a demo.
Smart isn't enough. Speed, judgment, and resilience.
Hardware + software + data + deployment.
Pre-seed through Series A. Sector-focused, thesis-driven.
The Edge
I've built across sensing, radar, compute, power, autonomy, embedded systems, manufacturing, and SDVs.
And I've built companies. So I can help with architecture, hiring, customers, technical diligence, fundraising — and the ugly problems that don't fit in a pitch deck.
If I invest, I want to be useful.
Capital is easy to wire.
Good judgment is harder to find.
Send me the short version.
What are you building?
What's technically hard?
Why now?
Why you?
No polished deck necessary.
