Engagements

Work with JMill directly

Beyond the published research, JMill works with a small number of investors, founders, and strategic teams on specific tough tech challenges. Every engagement produces a deliverable.

Strategy Session

$1,500

90-minute focused session on a specific question: technical diligence, market positioning, investment thesis development, or go-to-market for deep tech.

  • Pre-session brief and prep
  • 90-minute live session
  • Written follow-up with key takeaways

Thesis Sprint

$15,000–25,000

2–4 week engagement producing a custom investment thesis, market map, or technical landscape assessment.

  • Scoping call and research plan
  • Custom deliverable (thesis, market map, or landscape)
  • Presentation and Q&A session

Forward Operator

$5,000–10,000/mo

Ongoing embedded support. A forward-deployed strategist for technology decisions without the full-time hire.

  • Monthly strategy sessions
  • Async access for time-sensitive questions
  • Board-ready materials and briefings

Start with a conversation

Every engagement starts the same way: a direct conversation about what you're working on and how I can help. No sales process, no account executives — just a conversation between people who take tough tech seriously.
