Hands-on support
I help founders and CEOs scale with clearer strategy, stronger leadership, and less internal noise.
If you are building a company and making too many decisions alone, I can help you make clearer decisions. We will work on the business, the strategy, and the person making the calls, so you can scale with more focus, steadier leadership, and less noise.
I work with founders, CEOs, entrepreneurs, and operators who are navigating growth, pressure, product decisions, team complexity, fundraising, or a personal crossroads inside the company.

For over 20 years, I have been in the arena myself. I co-founded a Y Combinator-backed startup that grew from 3 founders to over 400 employees, reached tens of millions in revenue, and was backed by investors including the founder of Reddit, the creator of Gmail, Paul Graham, and Gary Tan.
I have lived the full founder cycle: bootstrapping, hiring the first team, finding product-market fit, scaling quickly, raising capital, managing a large organization, going through a merger, and sitting on the board afterward.
The tactics matter. But in my experience, the harder part is usually carrying the responsibility, making decisions under pressure, managing doubt, staying clear when things move fast, and not letting the company become your entire identity.
Over the last 5 years, I have mentored and coached more than 300 founders, entrepreneurs, CEOs, and high performers across different industries and stages.
My work sits at the intersection of strategy, leadership, and personal clarity. I can help you think through product, growth, positioning, hiring, communication, fundraising, and focus, while also working through the mental and emotional load that comes with building.
This is not a cookie-cutter playbook. We look at how your business operates, how your mind works, where your energy is going, what decisions need to be made, and what kind of life you want to build around all of it.
The goal is not just to grow the company. The goal is to grow it in a way that keeps you clear, grounded, and honest with yourself.
Core areas where I can help:
✔ Growth choices, including bootstrapping and fundraising
✔ Strategy and decision making
✔ Product-market fit and positioning
✔ Leadership, communication, team dynamics, and hiring
✔ Founder mindset, pressure, stress, and anxiety
✔ Personal clarity, purpose, and life direction

There's a lot of bad decisions you can make that end up wasting your time. The ability to consult with Itay was invaluable here. Itay will always provide you with multiple ways to tackle a problem systematically. Beyond just advice Itay is also willing and able to bring you in touch with the right people to further your goals. This is also extremely valuable and something I really appreciated during our mentorship.

Fantastic! Itay takes the time to understand the stage the start-up is at. He provides useful extra resources and very detailed insights into strategic thinking. He has taught me the importance of taking a long-term strategic view and how to ensure that my product creates true value for the end customer. Great experience to learn from him!
