Name the constraint
A product assumption, farm workflow, care gap, local operating problem, or rural investment question.
Office Hours · The open front door
Bring the problem. Leave with the next test.
Office Hours is a 30-minute working conversation for founders, rural operators, investors, and partners. Start with what is happening, who lives with it, and the decision you need to make next.
Free. No application. No polished pitch. No obligation to force the work into a program.
