let’s see if we are a good fit

Apply for Base Layer

Base Layer is a 1:1 strategic advisory that helps first-time founders build a company investors actually want to fund.

Over four months, we get the fundamentals under the hood of your business investor-ready: your funding path, ownership, IP, financials, and the ask. The goal is to get you funded.

The program is high-touch by design: regular 1:1 calls, unlimited async support, and direct access to me the whole way through.

This is built for you if:

  • You're a domain expert (medicine, science, engineering, finance) raising your first real round

  • You have an MVP or a shipping product and some early traction

  • You are getting ready to raise a pre-seed round and you don’t want to waste precious time on trial and error
