Open Partnering

A flexible model for strategic partners, investors, and founders to collaborate on new ventures, high-impact projects, or strategic initiatives.

Available by Inquiry
I offer a flexible partnership model for strategic collaborations that fall outside my standard services. This engagement is designed for founders, investors, or established companies seeking a senior technical partner for a new venture, a high-impact project, or a strategic alliance. I provide a structured process to explore the opportunity, de-risk the concept, and establish clear terms for collaboration.

Potential Collaboration Models

Flexible partnership structures designed to explore, validate, and execute strategic opportunities that create mutual value.

Strategic Alliances & JVs

For companies or founders looking to create a joint venture (JV) or strategic partnership to enter a new market or build a new product line.

Investor-Led Ventures

For investors or VCs who have capital and a validated idea, but need a senior technical partner to lead execution and de-risk the build.

Funded Project Engagements

Have a specific, ambitious, and well-funded project that requires dedicated leadership outside a standard consulting scope? Let's discuss.

Equity-Based Advisory Roles

Formalized, long-term advisory roles to provide ongoing strategic guidance on technology, AI strategy, and team scaling in exchange for equity.

Venture & Idea Incubation

A sandbox for exploring and pressure-testing high-potential ideas, with the option to spin it out into a full-fledged company if it gains traction.

Custom & Flexible Scopes

This model is designed to be adaptive. If your idea is high-impact but doesn't fit a predefined mold, this is the place to start the conversation.
