Erick Watson

I've spent the last decade as a fractional CPO and product leader at Google, Microsoft, and Protocol Labs, helping founders commercialize deep tech. I work with early-stage AI and blockchain teams through 6-12 month engagements to pressure-test their business narrative and ship products that customers actually pay for.

Most founders optimize for technical elegance and miss what drives revenue. I focus on the gap between what you've built and what the market will buy — the narrative, positioning, and customer discovery that turns sophisticated products into recurring revenue.
