# work with me

Short, honest, and useful — or your money back.

I run Roushan Venture Studio solo and publish weekly on AI product strategy. If you're shipping an AI product, I can probably help with one of these.

Every paid engagement: if you don't walk away with a clear decision, I refund.

> what you get

No slide decks

I show up on a call and we ship notes, decisions, or code.

Skin in the game

I run a 27-product portfolio. I'm telling you what I'd do with my own money and time.

One strong opinion

I'll tell you what I think you should do, not list five options. You can push back.

Recording + notes

Every paid call comes with a recording and a written summary so the team can align after.

> not a fit

You want me to do the execution (I'm a founder, not an agency)

Your product has no AI differentiation and you want me to bolt it on

You're looking for generic product strategy — there are better generalists

You want ongoing engineering work on your product
