Startup Career Decision Session

For professionals considering joining an early-stage startup, already inside one and trying to navigate the commercial and career implications, or considering a co-founder role and wanting a read from someone who has actually done it.

I co-founded Sapience Automata, an AI mobility startup, and led GTM strategy and OEM engagement with no precedent and no safety net. I can speak to what the co-founder experience looks like from the inside when the product is technically ambitious and the commercial path is uncertain.

What this session covers depends on where you are. If you are evaluating an offer: whether the opportunity is commercially credible, what the equity conversation is actually telling you, and what joining will cost your career trajectory versus what it could add. If you are already inside: how to read the commercial signals around you and what to do when the GTM reality does not match what you were told when you joined. If you are considering co-founding: what the first 18 months actually look like and what the decision to co-found requires of you beyond the idea.

Who this is for: mid to senior professionals at a genuine startup decision point who want a direct read from someone who has been there, not a motivational conversation about following your passion.
