I do business strategy for startups through topographical business maps. It's the best strategy tool out there and helps avoid costly mistakes. It also aides in acquiring funding.

I googled "topographical business maps" and it's not clear to me what that is. Would you explain more?

Google Wardley maps. There is a free book on medium from its creator Simon Wardley.

Could you talk a bit more about what services you offer? Do you have more of a consulting relationship or are you offering a service at a set price?

Also, one random question: do you find most of your clients are from the UK? For some reason I've always associated Wardley maps with the UK but I'm not sure if that's actually the case.

1. Consulting. Mostly because you can't productize strategy.

2. No, US only. Wardley does originate in the UK. The US is slowly catching up. I predict this will be taught in college in 10 years.

Do you mean "topological" business maps?

No, it's topographical. Look it up: Wardley mapping.

Curious how you go about that. Have a website?

No website. Just referrals. Every founder I've worked with will always talk to other people about it and share my contact info. Works great because I cannot do it full time at the moment.

Email in profile if you have context-specific questions.
