# Craig Meddin Advisory

> Strategic advisory for established business owners and founders navigating growth, complexity, and leadership pressure. Craig Meddin helps owners get to clarity faster by asking the questions nobody else has asked.

Craig Meddin is a strategic business advisor working with founder-led and established businesses with real traction. The work sits between coaching and consulting — closer to structured thought partnership for owners making high-stakes decisions.

## Core positioning

- Audience: Established business owners, founders, and CEOs with real traction and real complexity. Not for early-stage ideas or those seeking accountability coaching.
- Approach: Human-centered, systems-driven, clarity-obsessed. No frameworks-for-frameworks-sake. No coaching theater.
- Credibility (verifiable): Founder & CEO of Postal Solutions (founded 2000); four-time Gator100 recipient (2016, 2017, 2018, 2020); volunteer Entrepreneur-in-Residence with NC State's Innovation and Entrepreneurship eClinic; based in Raleigh, NC.
- First step: Founder Clarity Session — a 90-minute working session on one pressing decision or bottleneck, with pre-session intake and a written recap ($600).
- Differentiation: Grounded in operating experience, focused on judgment, designed for leverage.

## Services
