Advisory
We've made the decisions you're facing. With real money on the line.
Cardiff Giant Ventures doesn't sell strategy by the slide. We run a working studio — twenty-three platforms, real exits, real write-offs — and we bring that operating scar tissue to a small number of founders and teams each quarter.
The work
Three things, done properly.
01
Decision Intelligence
The hardest calls — what to build, what to kill, what to scale — made with structure instead of vibes. We bring the same frameworks that run our own portfolio, including Decision Protocol and Populai.
02
Revenue Operations
Building the engine that turns activity into revenue — pipeline, process and the unglamorous operating work that compounds across sales, marketing and customer success.
03
Venture Architecture
For founders and holding companies: how to structure, sequence, and hold a portfolio so it compounds instead of sprawls. The system we run on ourselves.
Engagement
Small numbers. Real depth.
We take on a limited number of clients at a time because the work is hands-on, not advisory-from-a-distance. Engagements are scoped to a decision or an operating problem, not a fixed retainer of meetings. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you in the first conversation.
- Decision sprintsA single high-stakes call, pressure-tested end to end.
- Operating reviewsA clear-eyed read of where the business leaks time, money, and focus.
- Studio-as-partnerOngoing build-and-advise for founders we believe in.
Who this is for
Founders past the idea stage with a decision that actually matters. Operating teams that have outgrown gut feel. Holding companies and portfolio operators who want their ventures to compound.
If you want a deck, there are cheaper options. If you want someone who's lived the trade-offs, start a conversation.
Insight creates IP. IP becomes platforms.
The advisory work and the build work feed each other. When you work with us, you get both halves of the system.
