Selected advisory work
An early-stage FinTech company was refining its problem, target market and business model while regulatory requirements were shaping what the product could become.
An early-stage life sciences company needed to align its target market and business model with the compliance requirements affecting the product and operating model.
A growth-stage services business needed a more focused path to growth. The work covered customer segmentation, verticalization, a new product line and the sales strategy around it.
A growth-stage B2B software company needed its enterprise segments, product strategy and AI direction to reinforce the same business model.
Beyond advisory
faibuddy is the AI advisory product we are building for founders.
We are beginning to make selective private-market investments in founder-led companies, funds and aligned SPVs.
