What to do for growth at your stage
The 5 moves I'd make at pre-seed, seed, Series A, Series B and Series C, in order, with the number each one has to clear. It's the live version of the stage playbooks.
I've founded 4 companies and sold 2, and I host Sell That S*it!, where VC partners take apart how one of their companies got to its next round. On stage or on your podcast, I talk about what a company should do for growth at the stage it's in, with the numbers from my own companies behind it.

I took one AI startup from zero to $600K ARR in 5 months, and at my current startup I took revenue from $800K to $1.4M in my first 3 months. This talk walks through the moves behind both.
I grew a media company to an 800K audience on organic alone and sold it in 2026. This talk is how that audience got built without paid media.
Everything you built that nobody found is a debt, and it compounds. I coined the term, and this talk shows how to measure yours and pay it down.
I do keynotes, panels, fireside chats and podcast or video interviews. I'm based between Lisbon and New York, and I do remote talks and interviews anywhere.
