The decisions you can't outsource
You're responsible for every decision that shapes your company, from product strategy to organizational design. I work with founders who need a thinking partner for the choices that will define their company's trajectory—and their own effectiveness as leaders.
Strategic advising and leadership coaching
As a founder, you need both strategic thinking for business decisions and leadership development for the roles you never planned to have. I help with both.
Strategic Advising
You're making decisions that will define your company's trajectory, often without enough data or time to be certain. I help you think through the strategic choices that keep you up at night.
Leadership Coaching
You didn't start a company to become a product manager or design leader, but here you are making those decisions daily. I help you develop the leadership skills you need for roles you never planned to have.
The founder challenges that aren't in the playbooks
Most startup advice assumes you have functional teams and clear product-market fit. I help founders think through the messy realities of building something from nothing.
When you're not sure if you should pivot or persist
The data is ambiguous, the timeline is short, and the stakes are high. I'll work with you through your decision-making framework and help you get clarity on what success looks like.
When your team needs more direction but you don't know what to direct them toward
You're expected to have all the answers, but the strategy is evolving faster than you can communicate it. I'll help you build frameworks for decision-making that work even when the plan changes.
When you're the bottleneck but don't know how to scale yourself
Every decision flows through you, but you can't hire yourself out of every problem. I'll work with you on organizational design and leadership systems that enable the team to move faster, not just bigger.

[Matte] evolved our thinking from a couple of engineers in a room to a startup that identifies it's values and chases them.
His approach goes beyond just asking questions; he consistently focuses on providing tangible value in every interaction. He is focused on ensuring those he works with come out with insights and actions
