§ 02 · board & advisory
I sit where
it breaks.
Board chairs don’t hire me for slide polish—they hire judgment under pressure across protocols, robotics scale, frontier AI, treasury, geopolitics, capital markets optics, existential regulator moments, existential founder moments.
Concrete value I bring fast
- Raise / cap table choreography — When insiders disagree and the story diverges—you need one adult who remembers how rounds actually behave under stress.
- BD that isn’t karaoke — Partner choices with second-order effects—not logo hunting for LinkedIn serotonin.
- Frontier tech clarity — When “AI roadmap” decks contain vapor and “bitcoin strategy” decks contain astrology—operators notice.
- Regulators as weather systems — When policy isn’t hypothetical—India taught me pacing, alliances, filings, exhaustion, irrational persistence.
- Robotics realism — Public boards, infra layers, capex-heavy truth—capital markets narratives that don’t detonate quarterly.
Governance ethos
Short memos written for adults. Disagreements in-session—no intrigue. Respect for CEOs who sweat details. Skepticism of moralizing investors who confuse Twitter likes with fiduciary duty.
Availability
I take a small number of board and deep advisory mandates—conflict-checked, seriousness-first. Geography isn’t disqualifying; integrity is.
If capital, compliance, robotics, frontier AI converge in your fiduciary nightmares—bring them.
