Now accepting a limited slate of founders
Consulting for founders building real consumer brands.
RK & JG Holdings is a private advisory practice that works with a small number of early-stage consumer brand founders each quarter on positioning, operations, growth, and the payments infrastructure behind a clean, modern storefront.
Four focus areas, one engagement

What sets us apart
Operator-written playbooks, not slide decks.
Written plans
Every engagement ships a written plan — sequenced, specific, and mapped to your calendar. If a recommendation cannot be executed on a Tuesday, we do not write it.
Built from the inside out
Our advice is grounded in years of sitting inside small operating teams — not partner-level slides from a firm that has never shipped a product.
Direct access
You work with the same principal from intro call through final hand-off. No analyst layer, no rotating consultants, no ticket queue.
Our approach
Fewer moves. Executed fully. Reviewed monthly.
We do not believe in sprawling roadmaps. Most small consumer brands fail at execution, not strategy. Every engagement picks the two or three moves that will actually move the business this quarter and commits to shipping them.
Plans are reviewed and refined each month. You have a direct line to your principal for live questions, course corrections, and operator judgment between sessions.
Intro call
A 30-minute conversation to understand where the business is, what you have tried, and what you actually need next.
Diagnostic
A structured deep-read of positioning, unit economics, traffic, conversion, fulfillment, and payments.
Written plan
A focused plan delivered within 5 business days — the two or three moves that will define the next quarter.
Execution support
Biweekly or weekly working sessions, unlimited email, and month-over-month refinement as we ship.
Four focus areas
Where our engagements usually spend their time.
Who you sell to, what the offer actually is, and why it is worth the asking price.
Margins, fulfillment, vendors, and the weekly rhythm that keeps the business shippable.
Paid channels, organic compounding, email and SMS, and where the next hundred customers come from.
A clean storefront, a stable payments stack, and the infrastructure behind checkout.

Common questions
What founders usually ask first.
What kind of businesses do you work with?
Early-stage consumer brands run by a small founding team. Usually under $5M in annual revenue, product in market, and the founder is still close to every customer email. We are not the right partner for pre-product teams or enterprise engagements.
Is this advisory, fractional operator work, or both?
Primarily advisory. We write the plan, sit in weekly working sessions, and help you stress-test decisions. We do not run your team for you. Founders stay in the operator seat — that is where the learning happens.
Do you handle checkout, payments, and infrastructure work?
Yes. Clean-domain storefronts, payments setup, vendor selection, and the operational plumbing behind a working checkout are part of our scope. This is often the fastest lever to move revenue for a brand that already has traffic.
Remote or in person?
Remote. Intro calls, working sessions, and plan delivery all happen over video and shared docs. Clients work with us from across the country.
