We’re a savvy investor’s secret weapon

No one should invest their hard-earned cash based solely on gut feelings. When you can't see the road ahead though, it takes a leap of faith to commit to a direction.

Like you, I've felt frustrated by too much internal discussion and lack of momentum. With too many opinions and not enough data, it's easy to feel confused and uncertain.

Would you like to change this broken paradigm to a new way of getting things done, with less risk, higher commitment, and more clarity and momentum?

“We help angels and founders de-risk their investment in new ideas, gain clarity and confidence, and find product/market fit quickly, in days or weeks, not months or years.”

With workshops and sprints that last from days to weeks, you'll quickly validate ideas and test desirability at maximum speed. You will find product/market fit, and build your product with confidence.

Some people are born lucky.

Nobody likes losing. You should do what you can to protect your investment in time, money, and reputation.

We offer a complete de-risking process for new ideas that insures your investment always supports initiatives with product/market fit.

Once you build, it's built. Allow us to create a customized plan for you. Put an end to missed opportunities, and endless discussion.

For modern teams, poorly executed meetings are a huge problem

[Companies] waste valuable time and money in unproductive meetings. And they're willing to pay high fees to replace high-stakes meetings with thoughtfully-designed, focused workshops that actually reach their desired outcomes. Companies that invested time into crafting clear goals and strategy were close to twice as likely to see increases in revenue.

From doubtful to confident in 3 weeks or less.

Every day you're saying no to many proposals, and lots of questions go unanswered. It's easy to see why someone in your position needs to be extra careful, and very risk-aware.

Wouldn't it be better to have abundant options, the confidence of proven ideas, and a short list of validated champions?
