Hi - I'm David. I help business owners find the moves that create traction.

Both can be true.

I'm a business builder. Right now, I'm building Captis3, an enterprise SaaS tackling a difficult Scope 3 emissions problem.
​
After 30 years of building with three exits in the last 12 years, I've learned how to spot the high leverage Move's that create real traction in a business.

I've set Ranchslider up to help other owners and founders find their own high leverage Moves. Helping others keeps me sharp, I get to meet other like-minded people, and... it helps me bootstrap Captis3.

Three ways I can help.

1

90-Day Move Map

When you need clarity fast. We cut through the noise and map the one critical Move that will shift your business and can be implemented within the next 90 days. You get focus, confidence, and a simple plan you can actually execute.

​

2

Bespoke Advisory

When the stakes are higher. Sometimes you need more than a map; you need a guide. I work alongside you and your team to untangle complexity, sharpen strategy, and make sure the right Moves get done.

Weekly Newsletter

When you don't know what you need. Each weekend I share stories from the companies I've helped build in the past, the one I'm building now, the wins, the mistakes, and the Moves made that I believe made the difference.

​

The 90-Day Move Map.

A short, sharp way to cut through the noise and get to clarity fast. I’ll ask some questions & then send you:

The risks and things to avoid

I only create a handful of these each week around my Captis schedule, turnaround is ~3 business days.

They're $249 USD, backed by a simple guarantee:
If you don't see clear value, I'll refund you. No questions asked.

Bespoke Advisory.

Occasionally, a business needs more than a single Move Map.

​

I do take on a small number of advisory engagements, usually when the stakes are high, or the situation is complex.


Can I help? Absolutely. There's no cost to having an initial conversation, and if it makes sense, we'll figure out the right way forward.

​

This isn't about creating ongoing work for the sake of it. For most people, the 90-Day Move Map is enough. But if you need more, I'll roll up my sleeves.
