Work with DDI

Most advice treats every situation like it's the same situation. But your startup isn't every startup. Your team isn't every team. Your market isn't every market. DDI is different because it's diagnostic, not prescriptive. Get insights and advice that actually works because it's built for your specific circumstances.

Fractional Co-Founder

For founders who need strategic execution, not just advice

What you get:

Me, acting as a part-time co-founder for 3-6 months during your most critical phase.

I join your team, embedded in your operations. I'm in your standups, customer calls, investor meetings, and fire drills. I own a core function (product strategy, go-to-market, technical direction) and deliver results, not just recommendations.

What I typically own:

  • Product Strategy: User and Market research, roadmap prioritization, feature scoping, technical trade-offs
  • Go-to-Market: Positioning, customer development, sales strategy, market validation
  • Technical Direction: Architecture decisions, AI implementation strategy, team structure
  • Investor Strategy: Deck development, fundraising strategy, investor relations

The goal?

Help you turn the corner and build internal strategic muscle so you don't need me anymore. I'm here to help you level up and set you free to thrive.
