Consultant for your small business or startup

I have more than 20 years of experience with technology and more than 10 years of experience growing and managing a small business.  Now I can use that to help you.

Why do you need a consultant?

01

No individual can be an expert in all things

I bring a broad range of business experience with a significant focus on how technology can lower expenses and drive better revenues.  Customers also love better service.  You’re an expert at what you offer, I help round out your team.

02

Outside Perspective

Often times it can be easy to view your business from the perspective of having been in it for a while.  Bringing on a new perspective can help spot blind spots that experienced professionals develop over time.

03

Increased Productivity

I’d love to say I’ll help you make more money (and you probably will), but I can absolutely increase your productivity.

04

Better Customer Experiences

Everyone wants happy customers, but how do you get them? I can help your business with processes and tools that can demonstratably improve your customers experience working with you.

05

Only pay for what you need

Most startups and small businesses can’t afford to hire expensive employees, but do need expertise. I offer my services on an hourly, weekly, or monthly basis which gives you a predictable bill that you control.

06

I bring a team

Over my career have enjoyed well above average success. Part of the reason for the above average success is that I work with some great people.  When you hire me as a consultant you not only get access to me, you get access to my network.

Small businesses and startups never go the way you plan. Here are three ways I can help:

Areas of Expertise

New Ventures

Startups are frequently an adventure into the unknown. I have experience doing research and development in a variety of industries ranging from bleeding edge technology to long established industries.

Web and internet development

I sold websites to local businesses starting at around 15. I started desktop programming in 1999. By 2017 I started my first multi-million dollar internet business.  Over the last three years my company has launched more than 40 websites.

Web 5.0

The technology stack to build in Web 5.0 is a combination of Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 strategies.  By leveraging the best of new technologies with the stability of established infrastructure, I can help your business operate on an affordable and powerful infrastructure.

Technology Architecture

It isn’t just enough to have a great website or app, you need to know how that ties in with all of your other technology.  In working to address all of the needs of your business I can usually both make things easier and lower expenses.

Brand/Pricing Strategies

Small businesses and startups usually have to work with different brand and pricing strategies than larger companies.  Sometimes this can be a huge strength.  I can help you identify and/or refine the way your customers see you and how they are spending their money with you.

Stress Management Coaching

Owning a small business or startup can be a special kind of stress.  Frequently one of the limiting factors of a small business or startup is the capabilities of the owner/founders. I can help you develop plans to manage your stress to help you be able to focus on what you’re best at.
