Why I Partner with Founders for Equity (Instead of Just a Paycheck)

Why I Partner with Founders for Equity (Instead of Just a Paycheck)


In a world full of talented builders and bold ideas, there's still one major gap: Product and growth strategy at the earliest, most critical stage. It’s the difference between building something and building a business.


Here's the truth:

Most founders don’t need a full-time CPO yet. But they do need strategic partners who can help them:

  • Define a product vision that actually monetizes
  • Find early traction without burning cash
  • Turn a messy MVP into a machine of recurring revenue

That’s where I come in.


What I Do

I partner with founders—often pre- or post-launch—to help them:

  • Craft scalable product strategies
  • Build revenue flywheels
  • Design go-to-market systems that make the product sell itself
  • Avoid common growth-killers (like overbuilding or chasing vanity metrics)

I do this under a model that aligns incentives, not just time and money: Equity. Rev share. Milestone-based comp. Strategic ownership.


Why I Work This Way

Because I don’t just build products—I build assets. I’m the founder of BAHG, a micro private equity firm meets product studio. I’ve led high-impact product strategies across sectors—from AI to SaaS to cultural ventures. My zone of genius is in spotting opportunities, building systems, and creating growth loops that others can run.

I'm not looking for a job. I'm looking for alignment with ambitious founders who want to build something that lasts.


Who I Work With

  • Early-stage founders with an MVP or traction but no product/growth partner
  • Solo builders who need a strategic co-founder without the full-time burn
  • Funded teams who want a fractional CPRO to scale fast, without fluff
  • Small businesses who want to digitize or optimize their revenue engine


What I Bring

  • A proven CPRO playbook for turning vision into revenue
  • Deep experience in AI, monetization, data, and zero-to-one product design
  • A flexible, founder-friendly model: fractional + equity, advisor, or co-creator
  • Systems that remove guesswork and replace it with scalable execution


Let’s Talk If…

You’re building something with potential but need help bringing clarity, traction, and revenue to the table. I’ll bring frameworks, strategic bets, and builder energy. You bring vision and willingness to move.

I’m open to 1–2 more founder partnerships this quarter. DM me. Let’s build something that makes sense—and makes money.
