Hey, I’m Brandon Larsson — a former VC, Googler, and a startup coach.

I’ve translated my experience launching products at Google, being part of the founding team of Google's AI-focused Venture Fund, and starting three startups of my own into a rigorous advisory practice. Having worked with hundreds of founders over the past decade - who have collectively raised over a billion dollars, I built this audit to give early-stage teams the raw, institutional-grade clarity they need to survive and scale.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Once you complete an intake form, I'll perform a diagnostic review and create a blueprint that will help you reach your next big goal

01

Intake

The intake process takes 10-20 minutes and will include targeted questions that help me get a high-level understanding of your business, operations, and bottlenecks. It's 100% digital and doesn't require scheduling.

02

Comprehensive Review

I'll take a deep dive reviewing your website, pitch deck, and intake answers. This is where I'll perform the actual Startup Audit—delivering a personalized video walkthrough and a scoring metric on what's working and what isn't.

03

Actionable Blueprint

You'll get a straightforward, step-by-step plan based entirely on the audit findings. It outlines the practical changes needed to clean up your current workflows, remove friction points, address your key problem, and keep your business moving forward smoothly.
