For founders
You have the vision. We'll help you carry it out.
- Turn your plan into a business plan and go-to-market strategy
- Build a pro forma and budget tied to your milestones
- Set an operating rhythm: priorities, scorecards, weekly accountability
- Hire the right people and get them in the right seats
- Give investors and your board clear, steady updates
For investors
A strong investment needs strong execution behind it.
Most portfolio risk is operational: a plan that is not followed, a budget that drifts, a leadership team that is not aligned. When a company works with us, you get:
- Experienced operators accountable alongside the founder
- A consistent operating cadence and reporting
- Early visibility into problems
- A founder who is supported, not replaced
How the engagement works
The company engages us, and we work for the founder. What we share with investors, and how often, is agreed in writing before we begin. We're partners to the founder, not monitors, which keeps everyone informed and honest.

The Launch Package
A defined starting point for a new venture or a fresh raise. Here is what's inside:
- Business plan and go-to-market strategy
- Pro forma with downside and stress-test scenarios
- SWOT, competitor, and pricing analysis
- Investor deck
- Founder decisions and launch checklist
- Entity structure and risk review, with questions for your counsel and CPA
We stay on after the package to run the operating rhythm and reporting, so the plan turns into results.
What we're not
We're operators, not lawyers or accountants, and we work closely with yours. We don't raise capital, and we don't promise outcomes. What we do promise is to plan carefully, work hard beside you, and tell you the truth.
Why Alignment
Two operators who have set up, run, and scaled businesses across many industries. We stay hands-on until the systems hold.
Let's talk about your company or your portfolio.
One conversation is usually enough to know if we're a fit.
