A focused engagement right after a raise: clean up financials, stand up scalable systems, and get clear visibility into runway and growth strategy.

Why Founders Work With Me

Operator experience, not just advisory hours

📈

Investor-ready, always

Clean, GAAP-aware books and reporting so due diligence is never a scramble — it’s already done.

⚖️

Lean by design

Financial and operational infrastructure sized for where you are today, built to flex as you scale.

🤝

20 years of pattern-matching

Consumer tech, marketplaces, blockchain/web3, and SaaS — I’ve seen the pitfalls before you hit them.

Philosophy

Two ideas I keep coming back to

Control your destiny

Getting to — or at least within clear sight of — cash flow positive means you can make decisions on your own terms: when to raise, when to grow, when to walk away from a bad deal. Most companies don’t die because they run out of ideas. They lose control of their runway. My job is to make sure that never happens on my watch.

Bringing order to chaos

Every early-stage company is, underneath the excitement, a little bit of a mess — scattered systems, unclear numbers, too many priorities at once. Taking that noise and turning it into a clear, workable structure is what I love to do. It’s the whole idea behind the name Anti-Cacophony.

Let’s talk about your next 90 days.

Whether you just closed a round or you’re heading into one, I can help you build the foundation.
