Commercial Discipline for Technical Founders
Bridging the gap between a superior product and a scalable market engine. No fluff. No guesswork. Just the mechanics of growth.

The Experience
20+ years navigating the intersection of ship dates and quota. From writing user stories to closing $100k+ deals, I understand the friction technical founders feel when moving from IDEs to ICPs (Ideal Customer Profiles).
I’ve seen the same pattern repeat: a brilliant builder crafts a product that is 10x the status quo, yet the market doesn’t care. The problem isn’t the product. It’s the commercial friction.
My background is built on leading GTM teams from zero to predictable revenue and beyond. I don’t give “advice” from the sidelines - I apply the surgical commercial logic that technical minds respect and business require to scale.
Why ⍴0?
The symbol ρ (rho) represents resistivity. Our mission is Rho Zero: the pursuit of zero commercial friction.
Technical founders often treat sales as a dark art. I treat it as a system of constraints. By identifying where your commercial logic is resisting the market, we can tune the machine for maximum conductivity.
Truth over politeness
We don't do "nice" feedback. We do accurate feedback. I'll tell you exactly why your pitch is failing, even if it hurts.
Logic over luck
Hope is not a GTM strategy. We build repeatable systems based on customer behavior, not lucky breaks.
Evidence over assumptions
If you can't point to the data, it's just an opinion. We audit every stage of your funnel against reality.
Speed over perfection
Perfect is the enemy of the pivot. We deploy, test, and refine at a pace that matches your dev cycles.
Stop guessing why your deals are stalling. Let's find the friction point in 20 minutes.
