Work with me
I work with founders as their fractional CPO, or on a focused piece of the P/MF puzzle. Every engagement begins with the evidence you already have, and you keep everything: my methods, my reasoning, my templates. I'm an open book.

Fractional CPO
Senior product leadership in your team, from day one.
From $3,000 / monthHalf a day a week to start. Most teams move to a day a week
For: Founders who haven’t cracked P/MF yet, feel the clock ticking, and need product leadership now, before they can hire a full-time CPO.
What happens

- Bring the voice of the customer into every decision
- Work with your dev and marketing teams on what creates value for customers and for the business
- Prototyping, user testing, validation and go-to-market
You walk away with
- Product decisions made fast, and made right
- Time back, less pressure, and a team on track to P/MF and growth
Recommended first step
P/MF Sanity Check
Your P/MF strategy, reworked in 2 hours.
$499One 2-hour working session
For: Founders who suspect something is off (no traction, unclear ICP, a pitch that doesn’t land) and want an outside detective to look at the evidence.
What happens
- You send what you have before we meet: pitch deck, landing page, any data or customer notes
- A 2-hour live session, assisted by Claude Code and my P/MF method, going through the four variables: ICP, value proposition, MVP core features, business model
- Everything we produce is saved as files in your own repo: your P/MF context, ready for your team and your AI agents to build from
You walk away with
- A reworked P/MF strategy
- Your core assumptions, and what’s missing
- How to validate them, starting with the first experiment
Fit guarantee. If after 30 minutes either of us sees I’m not the right person for this, I’ll stop and refund you in full.

Not sure where to start?
I recommend starting with a Sanity Check. In 2 hours you'll have a clear plan of what to do next. If you hire me as your fractional CPO, I'll execute it. If the plan shows the ICP is the open question, an ICP Sprint is the focused alternative. If you'd rather try the method yourself first, PMF Detective is free.
Or just book a free 20-minute intro call. I talk to early-stage founders every day.
