Working with leading startup programs
14 years, 4 startups, and every lesson that comes with them.
I've been doing this for 14 years now. Four companies of my own. Some worked out, some really didn't. But every founder I talk to is dealing with something I've already been through. That's not a pitch. That's just what happens when you've been in the trenches long enough.
Two B2B SaaS companies, a marketplace, and an agency. Bootstrapped and funded. Iโve seen both sides.
From founders with an idea to post-raise teams trying to scale, and everything in between.
I mentor founders through programs around the world and run workshops and presentations for them.
"If you are a founder building something real and need sharp, straight-forward, transparent and strategic feedback, I definitely recommend speaking with him. He helped me rethink where I should focus, what really matters in my strategy, and how to properly validate my problem and solution before trying to scale. His advice was clear, honest and practical."
Wherever you are in the journey, there's probably a version of you in here.
For founders still testing the market, shaping the problem, or looking for the right people to build it with.
For founders shipping an MVP, chasing their first real customers, and figuring out what actually moves the needle.
For founders tightening the story, prepping the deck, and walking into investor meetings.
For founders with traction who are hitting the limits of what worked before: team, product, leadership, operations.

Founders I've worked with, in their own words.
"Charles helped transform a concept into a funded startup while improving pitch, go-to-market strategy, and the program itself. His impact went beyond mentoring: he uplifted the entire experience for everyone."
"Charles helped me with very useful feedback and insights on GTM and B2B partner strategy. Would recommend Charles to any startup looking for no-nonsense and clear advisory and feedback."
"Charles combines sharp insight with genuine generosity. His guidance is deeply practical and rooted in experience. He gives time and wisdom freely! Truly a rare mentor every founder should work with."
"Charles helped sharpen my pitch with crystal-clear feedback and practical tools. His support during an intense competition phase was instrumental. I delivered my best performance thanks to his guidance."
"Charles quickly understood where I was in my journey and delivered hard-hitting, honest advice. His clarity and sharp insights pushed me to improve fast. Every founder should have this conversation."
"Charles shared wisdom with warmth and clarity. No question was too big or small. I left feeling focused, confident, and ready to move forward. Every early-stage founder should definitely talk to him."
Different stages need different kinds of help. Find the one that fits, or book a call and we'll figure it out together.
Pre-raise founders need expert input but can't justify a โฌ2,000/month advisor. I get it. Two ways to work with me that fit where you are: a free monthly mentoring call when you need a sounding board, or a focused 90-minute deep dive when you need to unstick a specific decision.
Post-raise is a different game. Every week there's a decision that could compound for years: what to hire for, what to say no to, how to manage investors, when to pivot. I work with funded teams on an ongoing basis, monthly or quarterly depending on the cadence you prefer.
Every founder's path is a little different. If you're between stages, raising right now, or just unsure which applies, a free 30-minute call is the best place to start. We'll figure it out together, no pressure.
