Equity Considerations

  • • Equity is not a substitute for payment.
  • • Equity deals are only considered when tied to clear milestones or revenue commitments.
  • • No "advisory-for-equity" arrangements without a defined value exchange.

Scope & Boundaries

  • • I do not provide legal, tax, or accounting services.
  • • I work alongside your professional team to ensure that business, legal, financial, and operational strategies stay aligned with your vision—not theirs.
  • • My role is to design the strategy, structure, and execution plan—not to operate as an executor or employee.
