Strategic AI Support for VCs & Series A/B founders

McKinsey's AI Strategy Framework Could Bankrupt Your Series A Company

Enterprise frameworks burn £400-700K before you validate commercial demand. I prevent that waste through operator-tested strategic decisions, not theory.

✓ Scaled AI from prototype to 70+ countries ✓ International AI patent holder ✓ 15+ years production systems

Let's break the vicious cycle

01

Raise Series A.

Build ops and governance frameworks designed for Fortune 500 companies with unlimited runway.

02

Burn >£400K trying to build AI for the wrong priorities.

By the time you realise the AI capability isn't defensible, you've wasted 40% of your runway on frameworks that don't survive Series B diligence anyway.

03

Flat or down round. Or worse.

Technical debt you can't explain. Features competitors replicated in 90 days. No moat, no momentum, no runway.
