# Work With WADE

movewithwade.com Start With a Sounding Board Session One real call, 60 minutes, one clear decision and you book it right here. Senior operator judgment for the moment where the stakes are non-trivial, timing matters, and being wrong is expensive - not therapy, not cheerleading, just cleaner judgment on the call in front of you. For founders and operators who know what the question is but need someone in the room who's actually been there. Email WADE directly and leave with the next few moves, not more options to consider. movewithwade movewithwade.com For Consumer Brands: Advisory Built Around the Real Calls SKU decisions, channel sequencing, retailer negotiations, capital preparation and WADE's brand advisory covers every critical growth and transition decision a consumer brand faces. Operator context from people who've held the P&L, made the channel calls, and lived the consequences and not frameworks handed over in a slide deck. For consumer brand founders who need more than strategic advice, they need someone who's actually run this. Reach out to see if WADE is the right fit for where you are right now. movewithwade movewithwade.com For Capital Partners: Before You Commit Pressure-test the commercial plan, the operating model, and founder readiness before you send the money, not after — and WADE's capital advisory is built exactly for that moment. Operator context that catches the pattern early, before it gets expensive or public. For VC, PE, and family offices investing in consumer commerce who need someone who's been on both sides of the deal. Reach out to discuss how WADE fits into your due diligence or value creation process. movewithwade movewithwade.com For Retailers: The Story That Holds Across Merchant and Finance When your shelf is under pressure, you need to separate what's incremental from what's just moving volume around — and WADE helps retailers build the reset story that holds across merchant and finance. Brand readiness checks, incrementality analysis, and assortment simplification done by operators who've been on the brand side and know exactly what promises don't survive contact with the store. For retail buyers and category managers making decisions under margin pressure. Reach out to discuss how WADE can support your next category review. movewithwade movewithwade.com For Tech Platforms: Stop Being Interesting. Start Being Essential. Strong product, slow adoption - that's a positioning and pilot design problem, not a product problem and WADE helps commerce and data platforms solve exactly that. ICP focus, pilot design that forces adoption, ROI you can defend, and org-fit mapping that shows you who actually decides and holds the budget. For tech platforms selling into brands and retailers who need operator language to bridge the credibility gap. Reach out to discuss how WADE helps you move from "interesting" to something they can't run without. movewithwade movewithwade.com Project-Based or Ongoing: How WADE Structures Engagements Project-based sprints tied to a specific decision or inflection point, ongoing retainers where continued judgment is required, or capital and diligence-aligned work and this page explains how WADE structures each type of engagement. Pricing reflects depth of involvement, level of accountability, and how closely WADE stays engaged as decisions move into execution — no fixed deliverables, just outcomes. For anyone evaluating whether the engagement model fits their situation before reaching out. After reading this, you'll know exactly what working with WADE looks like and which structure fits your moment. movewithwade movewithwade.com See All Services Brands, retailers, tech platforms, capital partners and the full breakdown of what WADE does for each is right here. Every engagement starts with the same question: what's the one decision that changes everything from here? For anyone navigating a high-stakes call in consumer commerce who needs operator judgment, not another framework. Start with the services page or go straight to a Sounding Board Session and make the call with confidence. movewithwade movewithwade.com Make the Call With Confidence If you're not sure which engagement is right, just reach out and this is the fastest way to find out. WADE moves fast, doesn't waste your time with intake forms, and will tell you honestly within one conversation whether the fit is right. For anyone at a decision point who needs operator context and doesn't want to wait three weeks for a discovery call. One conversation with WADE and you'll know whether to move together or what to do next if the timing isn't right. movewithwade More from WADE's Workspace 9 public stacks · Business View profile Media & Appearances 19 cards The Capital Table 8 cards Who is WADE? 8 cards Operator Intelligence 7 cards View profile — all 9 stacks Explore more in Business →
