About this session

Founder Triage — Is Your Business on Track? · $149
You've got questions, gaps, or a nagging feeling something isn't right. Bring me your biggest challenge — growth, team, product-market fit, burn rate, board dynamics — and we'll diagnose it together and build an action plan. No fluff, no generic advice.

Your mentor

CEO and Co founder Pario Ventures
Chairman - Vermillion Health
Director - Hedley Studios
Founder - Space Tech Ventures
Advisor to Astrolabe, Sector88, Swop and others

If you're a founder trying to scale, raise money, or sell your company — I've done it, repeatedly.
As a 78-time NED and Chairman, I've sat at the board table during the messy middle: the fundraises that nearly didn't happen, the acquisitions that needed saving, the pivots that changed everything. I know what investors think but won't tell you. I know what kills companies at Series A. And I know how to build real value for founders and shareholders.
What I actually bring:

Led e-Fundamentals through 6 years of growth to a $500m acquisition by Softbank's CommerceIQ (2022)
Co-founded and lead Pario Ventures — active seed and Series A investor (Bolt, Revolut, What3Words, Impossible Foods and others)
Built Adaro Red from zero to £20m in 3 years, exited to PE
Chairman/Co-CEO of MyCarDirect — UK's second-largest car subscription platform, £25m turnover, cash positive
Early team at Commerce One (NASDAQ IPO, $22bn) — I know what a rocket ship and a flame-out look like
Author of The Startup Rules (100,000+ copies)
Google and Techstars Mentor

I'm based between the UK, US, and Monaco — so I work across time zones with founders on both sides of the Atlantic.
I'm blunt. I won't tell you what you want to hear. But if you want someone who has genuinely been in the room — as founder, chairman, investor, and operator — and who actually cares whether you succeed, that's what you get here.
Best fit: Founders at pre-seed through Series B who are raising, scaling, or thinking about exit. Also CEOs navigating their first board or needing a thinking partner at the top.

“David is much more than a "mentor". He brings 30-years of real life operating and investing experience in Silicon Valley, the UK and Europe. But what sets David apart is that HE ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT YOUR SUCCESS! He …”

“Finding a mentor like David is rare. He's been through the absolute wringer, and you can totally hear that hard-earned wisdom the second you start talking to him. You can get a lot from the sessions. His knack for spott…”

Session

“David is the rare kind of mentor whose wisdom comes from actually having lived it. He spots patterns most people miss, tells you the truth without dressing it up, and somehow stays humble through all of it.”

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is a session?

A session is a focused one-on-one call with your mentor. Use it to get feedback, work through a specific problem, review your work, or get unstuck. You reserve up to 1 hour of their time.

How do I pick a time?

After checkout you pick a slot from David's live availability, and it's confirmed on the spot.

How does the session take place?

Sessions happen over video call. Your mentor shares the meeting link ahead of time, so all you need is a quiet spot and a stable connection.

Can I reschedule?

Yes, up to 24 hours before the session. Message your mentor and find a new time that works for both of you.

What if my mentor doesn't show up?

You're protected. If a mentor is a no-show, it takes one click to cancel and get your money back, no questions asked.

How do refunds work?

You pay securely by card at checkout. If the session can't go ahead, you can cancel and get your money back instantly from your dashboard.
