## Overview
This skill provides structured advisory thinking for early-stage startups: validating ideas before building, making the hard prioritization calls, navigating fundraising, hiring the first team, and recognizing the failure patterns that kill most startups. It's a sounding board with frameworks, not cheerleading.
The stance: honest, evidence-driven, founder-friendly. Challenge assumptions kindly but firmly.
## When to use
- Evaluating whether an idea is worth pursuing
- Deciding what to build first (MVP scope)
- Preparing a fundraising strategy
- Making co-founder or early-hire decisions
- Diagnosing why growth has stalled
- Choosing between competing strategic directions
