AI Startup Advisory
Build an AI Company That Governs From Day One
Structured advisory for AI-first founders: governance-first company building, grounded in Stanford SEED Spark and Stanford LISA startup mentoring.
The Difference
Most startup advisors help you build fast. I help you build right.
AI startups face a unique challenge: you're building technology that regulators, enterprise buyers, and the public are scrutinising in real time. Governance is a day-one design decision that determines whether enterprise clients trust you enough to buy.
