Thirty Minutes. No Pitch, No Deck.

Bring me the question you already have - “is there money in our portfolio?”, “is this target's moat real?”, “why are we paying renewals on 400 patents nobody's looked at?” - and I'll tell you whether it's worth a closer look and what that look would cost. If the honest answer is “don't spend the money,” that's the answer you'll get.

Reach Me Directly

I Read My Own Email

What Happens After You Reach Out

No Form-Response, No Junior Associate

You Hear Back From Me

You'll hear back from me - not a form-response, not a junior associate - usually within a business day.

A Short Scoping Conversation

If there's a fit, the next step is a short scoping conversation.

Or A Straight Answer

If there isn't, I'll say so and, where I can, point you to someone who can help.

Bring Me The Question You Already Have
