Clients and Methods
My Mission is to educate and inspire
entrepreneurs, executives, and investors to
CREATE CATEGORIES
the ultimate growth strategy.
What makes me different?
-
I focus on building Thought Leadership over building a firm.
-
No one has written more about Category Creation in the Harvard Business Review than I have.
-
I am selective and particular, choosing clients who are Category Creators, such as Keurig, iRobot, and InBrace.
-
You receive only Senior Partner time and attention. I personally accept and personally work on 1-2 projects at a time; there is no bait and switch.
-
I build bespoke consumer fact bases. In order to create a unique POV, I craft, append, and bridge atypical data sets.

How I Partner
I help CEOs, Investors, and Entrepreneurs to answer the following questions:
-
How "high" is high for my new category?
-
Who is the most valuable consumer who can see the future?
-
How can I simplify and accelerate my growth?
-
What kind of offer, business model innovation, and M&A can amplify my valuation?
-
How do I tell investors my story to receive the full multiple we are worth?
