Starting something from zero? You’re probably asking yourself questions no one else can answer. Is this offer tight enough to sell? Should we build now, or validate more first? What do we test first, and how fast? And the worst one of all. Why aren’t people buying?
We help answer those questions — fast, clearly, and with no fluff.
We work with early-stage startups, pre-seed teams, and founders who are running out of time (and patience). Whether you’re staring at a blank business model or halfway through a messy MVP, our startup strategy consultants know where the roadblocks are. And how to get past them.
If your last consultant gave you a deck instead of direction, we should talk.

Our Services
Our services are built for startups that can’t afford to guess their way through growth. Every move we recommend ties directly to traction, cash flow, or customer proof.
Go-To-Market Strategy Development
This isn’t about branding. It’s about entering the market with clarity and cash flow.
We’ll:
- Segment your total addressable market (TAM vs SAM vs SOM) and help prioritize verticals.
- Build a lean customer acquisition funnel (think LTV > CAC from day one)
- Establish positioning that doesn’t just “stand out” but hits a nerve.
- Identify which distribution channels make sense based on budget, velocity, and sales cycle length.
Problem it solves: You’re bleeding out in pre-launch or stuck in beta with no buyers. We build a launch that moves units, not just attention.
Revenue Model & Monetization Design
Founders don’t fail because of bad ideas. They fail because of bad math.
We plug that leak by helping you:
- Select pricing models that align with user behavior (tiered, usage-based, freemium-to-paid)
- Run price elasticity testing to find your ceiling and floor.
- Forecast early ARR/MRR and pinpoint your cash runway burn rate vs breakeven point.
- Build monetization logic aligned with the CAC payback period.
Problem it solves: Confusing monetization = no traction + no investor trust. We make sure your unit economics make sense.
Investor Pitch Advisory & Fundraising Prep
You’ve got five minutes to grab attention and less than sixty seconds to show traction. We help you:
- Build a VC-credible pitch deck using proven narrative arcs (problem > solution > traction > ask)
- Identify investor objections before they come up.
- Position your startup around market asymmetry, not fluff.
- Back up your TAM/SAM/SOM and financials with hard logic, not hopeful forecasts.
Problem it solves: Pitches that sound like school projects. We give you a pitch investors remember — and fund.
MVP Strategy & Product-Market Validation
Most startups build too much too soon.
We help founders avoid the graveyard by:
- Scoping minimum viable features that deliver value without overbuilding
- Running smoke tests, fake door tests, concierge MVPs, and landing page validations
- Interpreting CTRs, bounce rates, and micro-conversion behavior to attract product decisions
- Mapping feedback loops between customer interviews and UX improvements
Problem it solves: You’re not sure if your product is worth building. We find out before you spend $100k on dev.
Customer Acquisition & Early Growth Planning
We help you figure out where the next 100 customers will come from — and how to get them without overspending. That means:
- Building acquisition funnels that reflect CAC < LTV from the start
- Using cohort retention data and churn analysis to measure customer quality
- Creating outbound and inbound sequences with measurable reply rates and funnel velocity
- Setting up your growth engine with real KPIs: cost-per-acquisition (CPA), conversion rate (CVR), and ROI on paid traffic
Problem it solves: Early traffic and leads with zero conversions. We connect clicks to revenue.
Sales Infrastructure & Conversion Strategy
You don’t need 1,000 leads. You need the right 10.
We help you:
- Build lead qualification matrices that weed out junk
- Define your sales pipeline stages and CRM workflow (SQL > SAL > Closed-Won)
- Create conversion scripts and objection-handling frameworks.
- Install outbound engines with call-to-meeting conversion targets.
Problem it solves: Plenty of leads, no deals. We build a sales process that closes.
Operational Setup & Growth Infrastructure
We get under the hood and sort out the chaos:
- Define OKRs and assign operational owners
- Help with lean team structuring (don’t hire for roles you don’t need yet)
- Set up no-code tools for automation (Zapier, Airtable, Notion, HubSpot)
- Build dashboards that track the only numbers that matter.
Problem it solves: You’ve hired fast and built messily. We bring order that supports growth.
Market Research & Competitive Positioning
Skip the vanity metrics. We dig into:
- Real-time keyword demand, search intent clusters, and SEM potential
- Gap analysis vs competitor offer stacks, funnel structure, and pricing
- Social listening, trend mapping, and customer pain signal tracking
- Category whitespace mapping for niche product opportunities
Problem it solves: You’re building blind. We give you a map and show you where not to waste time.
Why Choose Us
Because most startup consultants have never built anything.
They talk theory. We’ve shipped. Launched. Failed. Fixed. And scaled. What you’ll get with us isn’t recycled advice from a textbook. It’s hard-won experience from startups that had to make it work—or fold.
Here’s what sets us apart from every firm throwing buzzwords at your problems:
Built From Zero — Just Like You
We’ve founded, grown, and sold our own companies. We know the difference between what sounds smart and what moves numbers. You won’t get ideas we wouldn’t bet our own money on.
Revenue-First Thinking
No fluff, no padding. Everything we do is centered around what builds traction and gets revenue in the door. Period. We use CAC, LTV, churn, conversion velocity, and payback periods to lead every decision, not vibes, not ego.
Fast Execution, Not Just Advice
We don’t just give you a strategy. We work with you to build systems and make calls that change your startup’s momentum now, not six months from now. Think execution plans with built-in accountability, not suggestion lists you never use.
Zero Padding. 100% Signal.
Every hour spent with us will produce something usable: a sharper offer, a fix to your funnel, pricing logic that holds up, or a clear plan for your next 30 days. If it doesn’t produce, we don’t do it.
We Work With Founders. Not Committees.
If you’re the kind of founder who likes quick moves, decisive action, and real conversations about what’s working and what’s not, we’ll get along. If you need permission from 6 layers of execs, we’re probably not your team. You're not here for a motivational speech. You're here because something isn’t working the way it should, and time is running out. If you want startup strategy consultants who’ve sat in the same chair you’re in, who know how to fix what’s not converting, and who won’t waste a minute on things that don’t add up, you’re exactly where you need to be.
Frequently Asked Questions
We use pre-launch testing like fake door MVPs, lead magnet landing pages, and early-access opt-in rates to determine demand. If your CTR is under 2% and your opt-in rate is below 10%, you’re not ready.
Target 1:3 as a starting point. If your CAC is too close to LTV, you have a pricing or targeting issue. If CAC is unclear, your attribution model needs fixing.
Start with the shortest path to sale: awareness → interest → trial/demo → conversion. Map each with KPIs (CPM, CTR, CVR, LTV). Run 2-3 channels max until one outperforms.
Depends on your average deal size. Under $500 LTV? Inbound content or paid. Over $1,500 LTV? Outbound SDR or founder-led sales is faster.
We model projections using conversion rate assumptions from comparable funnel benchmarks and break-even CAC/LTV metrics.
Overbuilding. We help define the riskiest assumption and validate that first before writing a line of code.
Yes. We advise when to outsource, when to delay hiring, and how to structure roles to avoid overlapping responsibilities or wasted headcount.
