A Little About Us


From Building Space Telescopes to Businesses and Everything In Between

Our track record (see: portfolio) speaks for itself; in our careers, we've tackled everything from developing cutting-edge technology and hardware for NASA's most advanced space telescope to driving excellence at the heart of a leading winery to building and launching multiple bootstrapped startups and brands from scratch in various markets. In other words, we’ve been there and we practice what we preach.

Our broad knowledge and understanding lends itself perfectly to our latest venture and most important mission yet: to help others achieve their goals and success in business and technology.

We are passionate about giving back in a way that helps drive innovation and progress in business and technology, helps people grow personally and professionally, initiates growth and alignment in their ventures, and ultimately enables independence. Trust us, we've made a LOT of mistakes so you don't have to…

Whether you're first-time entrepreneur with an "idea" or simply a problem in the market you think needs solving, or an established business looking for new markets and strategy, we would love to hear from you and are excited to explore how we can help!

How can we help?


Well, we can start by asking the right questions, and then help you connect the dots

Real-world problem solving

What issues have you discovered in the marketplace? How do you intend on solving them? Is there a simple, unique solution that makes financial sense? Is it worth pursuing?

Research and Development

Business: Is there a market for it? Will someone pay for it? What is the projected ROI? Technology: Does the technology exist? Can it be done? How much will it cost?

Concept Ideation

Does your concept/solution align with the business plan and strategy? Is the concept completely thought through from development to production to customer value-add to monetization?

Project Planning

Do you know what it takes to develop a product/technology from scratch? Which key players you'll need? How much money? Projected time line? Road map from MVP to ideal product state?

Strategy and Road Map

What do your complete product/business strategies look like? Do they align? How will you acquire and delight your customers? Where will you begin? How will you grow? What next?

Launch and Execution

How will you build your community? Who will be your initial audience/tester/ambassador? How will you build momentum for launch? What do you need/expect to get out of a launch?
