AI Startup Advisory

Build an AI Company That Governs From Day One

Structured advisory for AI-first founders. Not generic startup mentoring — governance-first company building, grounded in Stanford Seed Spark and LISA program experience.

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 scrutinizing in real-time. Governance isn't a Series B problem — it's a design decision that determines whether enterprise clients trust you enough to buy.
