Founder Advisory
A commercial thinking partner in your corner.
What This Work Involves
Founders often make their best decisions in conversation with someone who has been through similar challenges. Founder Advisory is a direct, ongoing working relationship with Robert Bodill, focused on the commercial decisions, priorities and challenges that matter most to the business right now.
Who This Is For
Founders who want a direct, experienced commercial thinking partner. Business owners who are making major decisions without a trusted sounding board. Leaders who want to improve their own commercial effectiveness.
In Practice
Robert has worked as a direct advisory partner to founders across consumer products, e-commerce and professional services, drawing on his own experience founding, scaling and exiting Jyrobike. For Shopguard, he provided the commercial thinking that identified a market shift, shaped the product direction, and guided the project through to worldwide commercialisation.
