About

From operator to advisor.

Before advising founders, I was one. I built two companies from the ground up, raised venture capital, navigated product-market fit, and learned what works through the expensive method of trying everything that doesn't.

Now I bring that operating experience to early-stage founders who want to skip the detours. I'm not a theorist. I've sat in the meetings, stared at the dashboards, and made the calls. My job is to help you make better ones, faster.

What I Do

Focused expertise for founders who build.

Growth Strategy

Helping early-stage founders find product-market fit and build repeatable growth engines. From customer discovery to channel strategy, we find what scales.

02

Fundraise Preparation

Positioning your story, refining your deck, and connecting you with the right investors. Raise with clarity, not desperation.

03

Go-to-Market Planning

From launch strategy to channel selection, building the playbook that scales. The right moves in the right order, with the right metrics to track.

Ellis helped us see what we couldn't see ourselves. Within three months of working together, we had a clear growth playbook, a stronger narrative for investors, and the confidence to execute.
