Not a strategy deck. An entrepreneur in residence who finds the opportunity, builds it and hands you a running business line.
Your business is profitable, but growth has stalled. Everyone in your company is busy running what already works, so no one owns finding and building what's next. You have ideas, and no one to turn them into revenue.
Owner-CEOs of profitable, founder-led companies with $10MM+ in revenue that have been flat for two years or more, who want to try something new and have no one inside to build it.
10–15 structured customer interviews plus your own data, to find where the growth actually is
a one-page product vision, the business model and a financial feasibility check before anything is built
a working product or MVP in weeks, built with AI
test with real customers until it shows traction
a profitable, repeatable way to acquire customers, then hand it to your team
You get a new revenue line, not a report.
Flat companies sell at a discount. Growing ones sell at a premium.
A $40MM company earning $6MM in EBITDA that has stopped growing might sell for 5× EBITDA: $30MM. Put it back on a 15%-a-year growth path and buyers pay closer to 8×: $48MM. That's $18MM of value, 60% more, from one new growth engine.
I've done it at scale: at AT&T Wireless, one new offer, Digital One Rate, added $1.5 billion in market cap in 90 days.
| Alternative | What you get | What's missing |
|---|---|---|
| Do nothing | Today's business, a little older each year | Growth, and the value it adds when you sell |
| Hire a VP of Growth | Someone to run existing programs, after a 6-month search | Rarely has built a business from zero |
| Marketing agency | More traffic to what you already sell | Doesn't find or build what's next |
| Dev shop | Software built to your spec | Doesn't tell you what to build or whether it will sell |
| Consultant | A strategy deck | Delivers documents and leaves before anything is built |
| Entrepreneur in Residence | Finds it, builds it, proves it, scales it | — |
| Step | What you get | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Discovery Sprint | Customer interviews, the opportunity, and a go/no-go recommendation | 2 weeks |
| Build Sprint | A working product or MVP in customers' hands | 30 days |
| Entrepreneur in Residence | I lead the new business, 2 days a week, from traction to scale | 3-month minimum |
