Why this matters

Most tech startups don't have a product problem.
They have an alignment problem.

The product says one thing. The marketing says another. There's no clear reason to choose them over what already exists. And everything — sales, retention, fundraising — suffers for it.

The fix isn't better copy. It's finding the one strategic axis that only you can own and redesign your product and processes, your story and your operations around it. When everything points in the same direction, customers stay and investors stop asking you for clarification.

How I work

Find the angle. Realign everything around it.

01

Analyze the terrain

I analyze your company, customers, and rivals to identify where the market is headed and find the hidden gaps your competitors are missing.

02

Define the angle

I identify the one positioning opportunity that only you can own. Not a tagline — a strategic position that changes the terms of competition.

03

Realign everything

I audit your product experience and rebuild your narrative around the new strategic axis, ensuring your product and message are in sync.
