The strategic partner food and CPG startups can actually afford, from first concept to commercialization, and everything after.
Most food CPG startups have brilliant science and no idea how to bring it to market. Traditional consultants are too expensive, too slow, and hand you a deck instead of staying in the room.
You have something technically real. I help you figure out where it fits in the market and how to get it there: positioning, go-to-market, product-market fit. I work with your team, not around them.
Not generic AI advice. I build personalized workflows and agents for your specific operation, so you run like a company twice your size without hiring twice the people.
I don't hand over a deck and disappear. As you grow from seed to Series A and beyond, I stay with you as a retainer partner, a sounding board, or a seat on your advisory board.
We scope your biggest challenge and I deliver a focused engagement. Fixed fee, clear output.
Monthly retainer for continued strategic guidance, as light or as hands-on as you need.
For the right clients, I join as a formal advisor. You get a partner who knows your business from day one.
Deep food science credibility and commercial strategy in one person. Not a generalist, not a junior consultant.
I run my own firm with AI. That makes me faster and leaner than any traditional consultancy, and I pass that advantage directly to you.
Every engagement is built around your specific product, category, and stage. Your business is not a template problem.
A personalized AI system trained on your business, available to your team around the clock, with my judgment behind every output.
I'm a food scientist and strategist, and the person startups call when they have great science and need to figure out what to do with it. I've spent my career moving between the lab and the market: from ETH Zurich and Cornell to leading commercialization projects at a food innovation firm, to building AI tools that let me move faster than any team my size should be able to.
I started Chimera AI because early-stage founders deserve a real strategic partner, not a junior consultant or an overpriced agency. The name is intentional. A chimera is built from different strengths, more powerful together than any one part alone. That's the firm.
