Most founders can’t raise. Most founders can’t scale. Most founders fail. One in a hundred get to exit. Facts. Don’t be like most founders. 

You have to ask yourself – have you got ‘being exceptional’ in you? 

Only 4% of US companies surpass $1m annual revenue. A founder / founding team that scales successfully has cracked the connection between idea / solution, market, personal strengths and ability to execute. In my experience, founders concentrate too much on idea or product features and neglect scaling processes and their own self-development. Why is that? Too busy? Because it’s uncomfortable? Because they’re not as hungry as they need to be?  

I work closely with a handful of founders on their growth journey – the ones that really want to become exceptional. Support, challenge, provocation, learning. Whatever it takes to move you forward. 
My exact role is negotiable – but will almost always include goal clarity / growth aspirations, finding your strengths and accountability partnering. 

For startup success, I believe there is: 

-  no more crucial founder attribute than your determination
-  no finer obsession than giving value to customers
-  no other commitment more critical than your relentlessness
-  no more important aspiration than looking like a winner
-  no better image to have clear in your head than your vision
-  no mission more important than what you want to happen in the world
-  no more effective endeavour to follow than building an exceptional team
-  no greater use of time every day than building momentum


I've over 17 years of working with companies that put scaling first. 
Feel free to DM me. Opt in only if this is what you really want. Don't be like most founders.

Founder @ Native | Gamified Audience Engagement | Join the Waitlist

Building a behavioural technology company for sports that turns cultural capital into a commercial engine.

Clicks and views never tell you the real story.

Native defines behaviour as cultural signals — turning offline and online fan actions, taste profiles, and tone of voice into first‑party data. This helps right holders and media brands monetise fans directly and via sponsors, while hyper‑personalising journeys across apps and experiences.

Without needing a technical team...
