I'm Paul DC
I help early-stage founders, executives and small business builders become
investor-ready — or simply clarity-ready
I’m a startup and business consultant and former founder who’s lived both sides of building — the chaos and the clarity.After my own startup failed and panic attacks forced me to step back, I rebuilt from scratch, helping over 600 founders across 80 countries raise $12M+ and gain clarity around their story, direction, and next steps.Today, I work with early-stage founders, experienced professionals and small local businesses to move from scattered and overwhelmed to focused and execution-ready — without burning out in the process.Connect with me on LinkedIn:

LinkedIn positioning
for experienced professionals
For people who already have experience — but feel their profile doesn’t reflect the level they’re actually operating at.
This service is for you if:
You’re currently employed or consulting
You have 5+ years of experience
You’re aiming for your next step, not your first one
You don’t want templates or AI rewrites
I rewrite your LinkedIn profile end-to-end so it communicates:
Seniority
Clarity
Credibility
The goal is not optimization.
It’s to make sure you’re being read the way you intend to be read.
What makes this different from AI
AI can generate text.
This work is about judgment: what to emphasize, what to remove, and how your experience is interpreted by other humans.
That’s the part most people struggle with — even with AI.
LinkedIn Profile Rewrite — $250
One-time engagement

Helping small local businesses solve practical problems
I work with small local businesses and community-based organizations to understand their real, day-to-day challenges and explore practical ways to address them.This is not about selling software or pushing a predefined solution.It usually starts with conversations, observation, and identifying where things feel unnecessarily hard.
What kind of problems I explore
Every situation is different, but some common areas I often work around include:
Visibility and discoverability
How customers find and understand a business
Coordination across multiple locations or members
Mapping, directories, and shared information
Simple ways to reduce operational friction
Sometimes the solution involves digital tools.
Sometimes it doesn’t.The focus is always on what actually helps, not on what looks good on paper.
How I work
I prefer to start small.
Short conversations
Light discovery
Low-risk pilots
If something proves useful, we can decide together whether it makes sense to expand or formalize it. If it doesn’t, we stop — no pressure, no sunk-cost logic.
Who this is for
I usually work with:
Small local businesses
Trade associations
Member-based or community organizations
If you know something isn’t working but aren’t yet sure what the solution should be, that’s often a good place to start.
