Second opinion

It ends with a decision, not a report.

Should we even work together?

One-to-one sessions: an outside read on the product, the model and the money, before you spend more on any of it.

This is for you if

  • You are the founder, or half of a founding pair.
  • There is a decision you have postponed three times.
  • You would rather be argued with than reassured.

This is not for you if

  • You want a session for your team. That is a workshop.
  • You want a validation service. If the idea is weak, the session says so.
  • You want a course to complete. There is nothing to complete here.

Most consulting is a person with a slide deck telling you what to do. This is a conversation about your product, your model and your money, and it ends with a written decision rather than a report.

By the hour, or by the day

  • One session by the hour, or a few by the day, as the question needs.
  • You alone, or with a co-founder. Founders talk more honestly without an audience.
  • Remote, or on-site in Greece.
  • Greek, English, or German.

You leave with a decision

  • A written decision, not a transcript: what you will do next, what you will stop doing, and what you will not build.
  • The shape of what the thing costs to run, and what it would take to launch a first version.
  • An honest answer to whether the idea is worth the next euro.

What it costs, and how the number is set

Priced for an early-stage founder’s budget rather than a corporate one. The scope and the number are agreed before the first session, and no invoice arrives with a surprise on it.

The next step

A session starts with a message describing the decision that has been postponed. If it turns out the product needs building, that is incubation; if one process needs fixing, it is small business. Everything starts at how we work.

If this is not it

Incubation

The idea gets built and run with us, for a monthly fee instead of a project budget.

Fractional product ownership

The whole product function held for an investor-backed business. Longest track record we have; very few taken.

Small business

An established business that needs one process fixed, not a startup.

Workshops

Two to four days with your team that end in the decisions you have been postponing.

How we work

The whole practice in one page: what we do with an idea, and what we refuse to do.

A decision worth getting right.

Say what it is and what you have already tried. That is the whole brief.
