Reserved for 4 owners per year. You get me on every quarterly strategy meeting, on every major hire, in the room when the contracts are signed. Two in-person days per quarter, unlimited async, written quarterly memo to your board (or yourself if you're the only board there is).
This isn't 'fractional anything.' This is the relationship every founder I respect has with their advisors - a person who knows their business as well as they do, says the hard thing, and means it.
Secure Stripe checkout. Texas-law engagement letter + mutual NDA. No specific-outcome guarantees.
Reserved advisor relationship reserves 5h of Ryan-led strategy, review, and delivery capacity. Planning estimate: 5h.
Reserved advisor access with quarterly board-level cadence.
The advisor track reserves deeper context and higher-level decision support. It is not a casual call package; it is a relationship for major owner decisions.
Ryan learns the business, history, risks, and owner priorities.
Big moves get challenged before the company pays for the wrong path.
Quarterly and async access stays under Texas-law NDA.

The visible offer is only part of the work. This is the hidden capacity Ryan has to reserve.
Reserved availability, deep context, decision review, quarterly prep, and owner-level follow-up.
Total visible breakdown: 4.3 hours. Public capacity uses the reserved block because follow-up, QA, and admin time are real work.
This is the direct path. $75,000 per year · paid quarterly. The point is to stop thinking and put the work into motion.
Under $1M/yr - start with Light Retainer or Monthly Operator
This is where the offer stops being a price card. You are paying for Ryan to narrow the problem, remove the fog, create the deliverable, and hand you a next move you can actually use.
Most advisors sell hours. This is a seat - at every quarterly review, every major hire, every contract signing >$50K. The decisions you make at that level move the year.
Capped at 4 owners per year. Your business gets first claim on my calendar, ahead of any retainer or sprint client. Real exclusivity.
Year 1, I learn the business. Year 2, I'm catching things you can't. Year 3, your team treats me like a co-founder. The relationship is the asset.
The buyer should never wonder what happens after payment. This is the visible path from checkout to delivery, with the real workload accounted for in Ryan's capacity.
Two in-person days. Full operating-system audit. Rewrite top-3 broken processes. Establish quarterly cadence.
On the calls for every hire >$80K base. Help craft the offer letter. In the room when major customer contracts are negotiated.
Strategic review. Adjacencies. Acquisitions if relevant. New offers / markets / channels - fully road-mapped.
End-of-year board memo. Written. The story of the year + the plan for next year. Yours forever.
The page should tell people what to do. If it fits, reserve the work. If it does not, step down, book the call, or leave the spot open for someone ready.
Spending money on me is spending money on you - because I turn around and put it back into your business as a real result. Here's the math both ways.
Cost of a wrong $200K hire, a botched market entry, or signing a one-sided enterprise contract. One avoided mistake at this level pays for the year 4× over.
$18,750 per quarter. One avoided wrong-hire, one re-negotiated contract, one strategic pivot you saw 6 months early - pays for the year.
Yes. Hard cap. When seats are full, the next opening is when one closes.
No. Cash retainer only. Keeps the incentives clean - I don't make money if you exit, so I'm not pushing you toward an exit.
Year 2 onward, the rate is locked at the original number for the duration of the relationship. Loyalty pricing.
Two in-person days per quarter. Travel + meals are covered separately at cost (no markup). Domestic only - international is custom-quoted.
The seat is yours regardless. The relationship is the product, not the hours.
Yes. Mutual. Sample available before payment if you ask. Every paid engagement runs under a Texas-law engagement letter.
