Mentorship for founders and operators who want to move faster.
1:1 sessions on MentorCruise. I work with founders, product managers and growth leaders on the things that actually move outcomes: GTM, pitch decks, fundraising, pricing, hiring, hard conversations, and the founder questions you can't ask your investors or your team.
Book a session on MentorCruiseWho I work with
Early-stage founders
Pre-seed to Series A. Pitch, fundraising prep, GTM, first hires, founder mental load.
Product & growth leaders
Career navigation, scope of role, frameworks, dealing with execs and stakeholders, pricing and packaging.
Operators on the edge of founding
First-time founders working through whether to start, what to start, and how.
What we'll typically work on
I help founders sharpen their pitch deck and pre-empt the questions that kill deals at the back-end of an investor process.
I'll walk through your deck slide by slide and run you through 10–15 of the questions investors will actually ask, including the ones founders don't see coming.
I help teams find the GTM motion that fits their product and ICP, and price without leaving money on the table.
We'll map your funnel, find the leak, and rebuild the conversation flow from cold outreach to closed deal.
I help with the hardest founder conversations - co-founder disputes, board pressure, exit talks, hiring/firing, pricing pushback.
I bring Voss-inspired negotiation frameworks (no-oriented questions, calibrated questions, tactical empathy) adapted to founder situations.
