Board advisory

Someone on your side who will question the plan.

An independent, commercial voice for founders of start-ups and small tech businesses. We challenge the plan, spot the blind spots and help you walk into board meetings sharper.

Why boards often fall short

Early-stage boards are usually made up of founders and investors. Everyone is busy and everyone has a stake. That means difficult questions about sales, pricing and growth plans can go unasked until it is too late.

What we do

Independent challenge

A senior commercial voice who questions assumptions and tells you what the board is missing.

Revenue plan review

We pressure-test your sales targets and show you which assumptions need more work before investors spot them.

Advice on big decisions

New markets, key hires, price changes or partnerships, reviewed before they reach the board.

Spotting blind spots

The questions nobody is asking, and the team dynamics that show up in the numbers.

How it works

  1. First conversation. We talk about your business, your board and what you need.
  2. Getting up to speed. We read your plans and numbers and meet the key people.
  3. Board involvement. We join or prepare for board meetings, depending on what suits you.
  4. Ongoing access. You can call on us between meetings when a big decision comes up.

Who this is for

Founders of start-ups and small tech businesses, from first funding round to Series B, who know their board could be more useful.
