What is this? It looks like just an advertisement for startup consultant based out of Raleigh, North Carolina? There's a cynical saying that is basically: anytime you meet a "startup consultant for hire" there's usually a sad story there, and the only reason to pay for a startup consultant is to ask them why their own startup failed and get advice about what not to do. With that said, unfortunately the startup world really is in desperate need of honest, affordable, talented business consultants without conflict of interest. But the best people to do this type of work are busy running companies or have enough money to retire and don't sell consulting services to startups (though many of them do some angel/VC investing and advise their portfolio co's). I'm not sure what the story is for this link or if it fits HN guidelines. But either way, good luck on the new consulting business! and Happy Holidays!
