What you'll do

  • Own the business side of new ventures — from first customer to product-market fit

  • Shape business models, pricing, and go-to-market strategies for 0-to-1 products
  • Work directly with founders, corporate partners, and investors
  • Build commercial traction that turns a prototype into a fundable company

Your toolkit

  • CRM & pipeline — HubSpot, Pipedrive, whatever gets the job done
  • Market research — you know how to size a market without a McKinsey deck
  • Financial modeling — enough to build a business case that holds up in front of investors
  • Storytelling — pitch decks, cold outreach, partnership proposals

Deal philosophy

  • Revenue over vanity metrics
  • Conversations over campaigns
  • Founder mentality over corporate process
  • Speed kills hesitation — move fast
  • If the market says no, pivot. Don't argue.
