How is this different from hiring a consultant?

Most consultants share perspective based on what they saw two years ago at their last company. Dave is talking to founders every day. The patterns in a SPRINT aren't pulled from memory — they're pulled from conversations that happened this week. That's the difference between advice that fits your moment and advice that fit someone else's.

What if I already know what my problem is?

That's actually the most common thing founders say before a SPRINT. And in about 80% of cases, the thing they were certain about turns out to be a symptom — not the cause. The value isn't confirming what you think. It's finding what you've been building around without realizing it.

How much of my time does the SPRINT actually take?

Four dedicated hours across five days — four one-hour working sessions, scheduled around you. The five days are the calendar, not the workload. I review your call recordings, sales materials, and deck before we start, so no session is spent on ramp-up. There is occasionally homework between sessions, never more than 30 minutes, and it is optional — some founders do it, some do not. Either way you leave with the constraint named and a concrete next move.

What do I need to prepare before we start?

Two recent call recordings, your current sales materials, and your investor deck. That's it. I review everything before our first session so we don't spend time on orientation. We go straight to what's actually happening in your deals.

Is SPRINT worth it at my stage?

The question is what it costs to keep doing the wrong thing. Most founders who come into SPRINT have been stuck for two to four months. At seed or Series A, that's not just runway — it's a quarter of investor patience. Five days to find the real constraint is cheap relative to another quarter of fixing the wrong thing.

What does SPRINT cost?

Five-day engagement. $3,500–$5,000. My time investment is the same regardless. The fee is shaped by your stage — earlier-stage founders pay the lower end, later-stage founders the higher end. Final number confirmed on the intake call.

What stage are you typically working with?

Seed and Series A B2B SaaS founders, typically $500K–$10M+ ARR. You have a product, you have some customers, and the motion works sometimes — but not reliably. That's the sweet spot. If you're pre-revenue or pre-product, the timing probably isn't right yet.

What happens after the five days?

You leave with a named constraint, a concrete next move, and a clear picture of what to focus on first. Some founders go on to work with me on Founding AE hiring once the motion is cleaner. Others take the diagnosis and execute on their own. Either is fine — the goal is that you know what to do next, not that you need me to do it.

Who should not buy SPRINT?

SPRINT is not a fit for founders who are pre-revenue or pre-product. There needs to be a motion in place to analyze. It is also not a fit for founders who only want validation of what they already believe is broken. Most SPRINTs surface a different constraint than the founder walked in with.

You keep working on what feels most urgent — more outreach, a new hire, a messaging refresh. The thing that is actually limiting growth stays unnamed and untouched.

Deals keep stalling in the same place. Pipeline keeps growing. Revenue stays inconsistent. You get better at explaining it but not at fixing it.

You hire someone to take over sales. They inherit the same unclear motion. Six months later you are back where you started — with a higher burn rate and a rep who cannot close without you.

The board meeting comes. You explain the pipeline. Revenue is still inconsistent. The window for fixing this before your next raise is narrower than it was 90 days ago.
