The Starting Point
The Forge Starter Session
Clarity before commitment. A 90-minute intensive to help you decide whether to build — and what it will actually take.
You have an idea. Maybe it's been simmering for months. Maybe it hit you last week. Either way, you're asking the right question: Is this real? Am I ready?
The Forge Starter Session isn't about validation or hype. It's about clarity. In 90 minutes, we'll pressure-test your idea, surface the risks you haven't considered, and build a framework for your next move — whether that's full speed ahead, slow incubation, or an honest pause.
What's Included
Pre-Session Questionnaire
Before we meet, you'll complete a short intake that forces you to articulate your idea clearly — why it exists, what problem it solves, and what you're actually willing to invest.
Live Working Session
This is the forge. 60–90 minutes where we pressure-test your concept, ask the uncomfortable questions kindly, and surface blind spots together. No pitching. No selling. Just honest strategic conversation.
Post-Session Starter Kit
Walk away with a clear articulation of your idea, top risks to address, next actions, a "commit or pause" decision point, and optional paths forward.
Who This Is For
- →First-time founders with an idea but no roadmap

Already clear on what you're building? Skip ahead to our services. But if you're still deciding — this is your starting point.
What This Is Not
Let's be clear about boundaries:
- ✕This is not design, development, or branding work
- ✕This does not include revisions or ongoing support
- ✕This is not a guarantee your idea is viable
Clarity is the product. Not validation. Not hype. You'll leave with a decision and a framework — what you do with it is up to you.
What Happens After
If you decide to move forward, this work rolls cleanly into one of two paths:
A Build Engagement
Website, brand system, digital ecosystem — whatever your idea needs to come alive.
A Deeper Strategy Intensive
Extended discovery and roadmap for more complex ventures.
If not? You still walk away with clarity and a plan you can execute on your own. No pressure. No pitch. Just options.
