Apple standards,
bootstrap mentality.
Whether you've raised $10M or you're bootstrapping on nights and weekends, the mentality should be the same: build something excellent, while finding the most efficient path to product-market fit. AI has made this more achievable than ever. The bar for quality is higher, the cost to reach it is lower, and the founders who understand both will win.
What I can help with.
Product strategy.
What to build first, how to find product-market fit, and when to pivot. How to leverage AI where it's meaningful and avoid the gimmicks.
Design & UX.
Why great design is a competitive advantage, even for bootstrapped startups.

Process & leadership.
Building the right workflows and helping founders level up how they think and make decisions.

Should you raise money or bootstrap? You're asking the wrong question.
People demonize one side or the other. The real answer depends on what you're building, not ideology.
