THE ENGAGEMENT
THE SOLVER
8 weeks to solve the one problem you can't solve from inside
An 8-week 1:1 advisory engagement taking you through vision, strategy, and the bottleneck blocking you. One fee. No retainer. Run by an active COO.
Who I Work With
I work primarily with bootstrapped or lightly-funded SaaS founders and CEOs at $1M–$5M ARR with real teams and real revenue.
I also take on engagements with adjacent service businesses such as B2B tech, Fintech, and professional services globally at similar scale.
Trusted by
Vision. Strategy. Bottlenecks. In 8 weeks.
I work through three pillars over six sessions. Diagnostic in Week 1 finds the real problem you walked in misnaming. By Week 8 you have a written vision, a 90-day strategy, the top bottleneck solved, and an accountability system to keep you honest after I leave.
Who This Is For
- You're a SaaS founder/CEO at $1M–$5M ARR or adjacent service business
- Past PMF, with a real team but growth has flattened or gotten lumpy
- You're the decision bottleneck and you know it
- You're stuck on one specific problem you can't solve from inside the business
- You want a hard-truth operator, not a coach who nods along
Engagement Structure
- Length: 8 weeks, 6 × 75-minute 1:1 sessions, async support between
- Investment: Starts at $15,000 USD, one fee
- Risk reversal: money-back guarantee if the diagnostic isn't worth the fee
- Capacity: Maximum 5 founders per cohort, 4 cohorts per year
- Scope: vision, strategy, and bottlenecks across one specific problem you bring
The 8-week structure
What you walk away with:
- Phase 1 — Vision (Sessions 1–2). The diagnostic, the destination decision, the written 3-year picture.
- Phase 2 — Strategy (Sessions 3–4). The three strategic moves, the 90-day execution map, the weekly decision filter.
- Phase 3 — Bottlenecks (Sessions 5–6). The top bottleneck diagnosed to root cause, first action taken inside the engagement, 6-month accountability scorecard.
Client Commitment:
Show up weekly. Apply insights. Be honest and coachable.
Trusted by Leaders in Critical Moments
“What stood out most was the structured approach to complex problems. Instead of surface-level recommendations, the discussion brought clarity, focus, and a practical path forward. I left with stronger conviction and a clear action plan.”
“Working with Vahab felt like having a strategic sounding board at the highest level. He helped me separate emotion from data, identify the real risks, and make a decision aligned with long-term goals. The clarity I gained was invaluable.”
“I came into this conversation carrying a decision I had delayed for months. Vahab helped me clarify the real constraints, pressure-test the options, and move forward with confidence. It was not advice, it was disciplined thinking applied to a real leadership challenge.”
What Makes This Different
I’m an active COO with real scale experience — not a retired consultant. The frameworks I bring you are running in a live business this Monday. The methodology is mine, built across multiple operating roles. The engagement has a beginning, a middle, and a clean end. No retainer, no embed, no CXO trap unless you specifically want one.
- Active COO at X Securities — the lessons aren't from 2019, they're from this week
- $5M → $19.2M ARR scaling experience at Aron Groups with 250+ employees
- Proprietary methodology — Vision, Strategy, Bottlenecks across 7 problem categories
- Hard truth, not nodding — the line you skip is the line we work on
For founders who want an operator’s perspective, not a coach.
