I help startups find traction — or fail fast trying.

I’m JDM, aka Josh David Miller, an entrepreneur, speaker, startup advisor, and wearer of colourful shoes, based in Sacramento, CA. I’m the founder of The Right Box, where we use design thinking to help venture-backed startups find product-market fit.

They call me the Shredder of Business Models.
