But here's the thing – I get the biggest kick out of working with people like you, who are just starting their journey. When we team up, I'm all in. You'll have my full attention – and I mean all of it. We're in this together, and I'm ready to roll up my sleeves and put in the hard yards to help you make your mark. And I'm not just talking about making a quick buck; I want you to feel like you hit the jackpot in terms of value. Now, let's talk brass tacks. I get it – money's tight when you're bootstrapping. Been there, done that, and I've got a soft spot for starters. So if you're in the pre-seed stage, I'm on board to adjust my fees to fit your budget. I want to help you get off the ground without breaking the bank. So, if you're ready to turn that spark of an idea into a blazing success, reach out. Let's make it happen together – your dream’s worth every bit of effort!
