That is the gap between what you keep now and 97.5% direct — SumUp and Stripe Link, your channel, your customer list.

The problem I exist to solve

You built something beautiful. The till stays dark.

Brilliant founders, brilliant work — and no commercial infrastructure to turn it into revenue. No data capture. No CRM. No clean way to take the money. I'm the fractional CEO who builds and runs that engine, in your brand and your voice, so the work doesn't just land — it pays.

Where you are. What we build. Where you end up.

Same work.
Different margin.

Most founders are losing 50% on every sale and don't know it. We build the infrastructure that captures the margin back — starting from the first day, on the first sale.

You start at 78% — already £280 ahead of a gallery on every sale. While we manage that, we build the infrastructure that gets you to 97.5%: the payment links, the CRM, the direct channel. The commission you pay us is recovered in margin on the first direct sale. The engine pays for itself before a new customer walks through the door.

The Engine Sprint · what 48 hours actually looks like

Brief on Monday.
Live by Wednesday.

Most agencies sell you the thinking and invoice you for the waiting. A sprint is a fixed price, a fixed clock, and a system that is running in production at the end of it — in your brand, on your domain, taking your money.

00
Hour zero
A 45-minute call. What you sell, who buys it, where the money currently falls on the floor. No questionnaire, no discovery phase.
12
Twelve hours
Architecture agreed and the build is underway. Data capture, CRM fields, payment path, the flow a real customer will walk.
36
Thirty-six hours
Deployed to a preview URL. You click every button on your own phone. Changes land the same day, not the next sprint.
48
Forty-eight hours
Live in production, wired to Stripe and HubSpot, with a one-page runbook so you can run it without me. You own all of it.

Three ways in.
Start where you are.

The Partnership

I become the commercial brain your venture doesn't have — strategy, infrastructure, partnerships and the systems to run them. Built and operated, not advised.

  • Fractional CEO across the whole venture
  • The agent stack that runs 27 live systems
  • Partnerships, pipeline and pricing
  • Invisible by design — your brand, your voice

Independent creative founders and micro-teams of one to five, in nightlife, fashion, cultural production and fine art. If that isn't you, the audit is still free and I will tell you so.

The operating system

AuDHD isn't
a footnote.

Two diagnoses. One operating system. I hold a portfolio of ventures in parallel the way most people hold a single inbox — and I've spent twenty years building the partner engines behind some of the biggest names in media.

Parallel processing
27 live systems. One operator. Simultaneous.
Pattern recognition
Savant-level signal extraction from noise.
Hyperfocus
48 hours, brief to live system. Every time.
Execution bias
Zero decks that don't ship. Everything live.
The operator

One mind that runs in parallel. Two diagnoses, one operating system.

AuDHD isn't a footnote — it's the architecture. I hold a portfolio of ventures in parallel the way most people hold a single inbox. Twenty years building partner engines behind some of the biggest names in media: Dentsu, Braze, WPP Partner of the Year. Now that engine runs for independent creative founders.
