Work With Me

Proven operators, not just frameworks.

Three ways to work together, all retainer-based, all hands-on, all drawn from a decade of building with my own capital on the line.

01

Venture-Building & Market-Entry Advisory

Format   Monthly retainer, 3-month minimumFor   Corporates & investors entering Africa

I help you design and validate ventures for constrained markets before a full budget cycle teaches you the hard way. Hands-on from thesis to first traction, built from a decade of doing it with my own capital on the line.

What’s included
Market-entry thesis and validation plan
Hands-on venture design sprints
Rolling six-week roadmaps with direct product guidance
02

Corporate Innovation Programmes

Format   Project or retainer, scoped per programmeFor   Institutions, DFIs & corporate studios

I design and run innovation programmes, from hubs and accelerators to internal venture-building capability, for institutions that need operators who have actually shipped, not just facilitators.

What’s included
Programme and operating-model design
Accelerator or hub setup, end to end
Internal capability building and operator network
03

Speaking & Workshops

Format   Per engagementFor   Conferences & corporate teams
See speaking

Talks and workshops on constraint-driven design, trust-first go-to-market, and building without a playbook, all drawn from named case studies rather than borrowed theory.

What’s included
Keynotes and fireside conversations
Hands-on team workshops
A post-session playbook the team keeps
This is a fit if
You have real capital and commitment behind the venture.
You want an operator who has shipped, not a deck.
You're past the idea stage with a market to win.
It’s probably not if
You're at pure ideation with nothing resourced yet.
You want a rubber stamp on a plan already decided.
You're a student after a coffee chat. I answer those on LinkedIn, free.
