Invest your talent in companies
and build future cash flows
Use a Shared Success Agreement to contribute a % of your fees in exchange for a share of future revenue, at a multiple.
Why Use Shared Success Agreements?
Invest Your Time
You have the skills that founders need to succeed, but you don't want to work for free, or forever. Invest some of your time now to win new business and earn upside when the founder succeeds.
Simple Terms
Decide what % of your fees to invest, at what multiple, and for what % of revenue. Avoid the complexity of equity and valuations, and defer taxes until you get paid.
Create Cash Flows
Invest some of your current capacity in promising founders. Create a portfolio of investments that will generate future cash flows. No waiting 7+ years for an acquisition or liquidity event.

I help founders validate which customer segment will help them scale for success
Our belief is that scaling is not about the biggest opportunity but about the most effective opportunity. When you focus on the most effective opportunity you can start to generate cash flow for growth. Stop guessing which customer segment will help you grow, stop trying to market to everyone, and stop wasting money on marketing that does not work. Validate your customer segment so you can scale.
