Three Types of Founders Who Call Me

Every founder who calls me is in one of three situations. Here's which one you are.

The Builder. You're pre-Series A. You've got traction, maybe some revenue, and you're about to raise real money for the first time. Your structure was built on a template from the internet. You know it won't hold, but you don't know where it'll break. You need someone to pressure-test the whole thing before an investor does.

The Scaler. You've raised. Maybe $2M, maybe $20M. Now you're expanding into new markets, adding entities, hiring across borders. The structure that worked for one country is cracking under the weight of three. You need architectural oversight, not more lawyers billing by the hour.

The Fixer. Something already broke. A co-founder dispute. A cap table that doesn't work anymore. A board that can't make decisions. An investor relationship that went sideways. You need someone who's seen this exact situation before and knows the structural path out.

All three need the same thing. Not legal advice. Venture architecture.

Someone who can look at the whole picture, not just the document in front of them. Someone who's been the operator, the board member, and the investor. Not just the advisor.

If you recognised yourself in one of those, that's exactly who Mexzungu is for.

DM me which one you are. I'll tell you the first thing I'd look at.
