Startup Support
How could we move your ideas from
concept to reality?
Startup Support Services
Every successful business starts with a clear plan, but the level of support you need changes as your idea grows. I help founders at every stage translate their vision into a structured, actionable plan — from defining purpose and priorities to building the documentation you’ll need for investors, lenders, or partners. Pricing is determined based on the depth of support required and the stage of your business.
Frequently Asked Questions

My base rate for startup support is $40 per hour, with flexible options depending on the stage of your business and the level of guidance you need. I understand that early-stage founders often work within tight budgets, so rates can be adjusted based on your business’s ability to pay. After our initial consultation, you’ll receive clear pricing and a recommended plan that fits your goals and resources.

You can contact me or book a consultation directly. We’ll discuss your goals, the stage of your idea, and the specific support you’re looking for. From there, you’ll receive a tailored plan to help move your concept into reality.
Fees & Engagement Options
Startup support is billed at a base rate of $40 per hour, covering business planning, project charter development, documentation, and strategic guidance. Because I believe early-stage ideas deserve support regardless of financial constraints, fees are flexible and negotiable based on your business’s capacity to pay.
If you prefer a more predictable structure, I also offer deliverables-based pricing for defined projects. Transparency and fairness guide every engagement — we design an approach that supports your vision without adding unnecessary pressure.
