WORK

Two ways to work with me.

Hands-on building for nonprofits through NetGoodLabs, and product advisory for teams that need senior product judgment without a full-time hire. A client's own account of what that is like is at the bottom.

NETGOODLABS

AI and automation for nonprofits, built so their own staff can run it.

NetGoodLabs is my consulting practice for small nonprofits. I started it after the Habitat for Humanity work showed me how much staff time goes into retyping, chasing and assembling the same documents, and how cheaply a plain automation in the tools they already pay for can give that time back. Every engagement starts with a fixed-price, two-week readiness assessment and ends with a handover the team can maintain without me.

Custom automations in Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, the CRM and the form tool already in use.
Grant pipelines, impact dashboards, event registration and intake form cleanup, each a fixed scope with a published starting price.
Staff AI training built around the organization's own documents, with a one-page AI use policy for the board.

PRODUCT ADVISORY

Senior product judgment for teams that are not ready for a full-time hire.

For startups and product teams that need a principal-level product lead a few hours a week, not forty. I have run discovery, roadmaps and experimentation programs on aerospace programs and real-money consumer products, and I have managed and coached product managers through the same. Email me with the problem and we will scope the engagement to it.

A roadmap and KPI reset: what the team is building, why, and how you will know it worked.
An experimentation cadence that makes UX changes measurable, from the first A/B test to the review ritual.
A zero-to-one product scoped and specified, with the first release cut to what can ship.
Coaching for a product manager or a founder doing the product job themselves.

WORKING WITH ME

In a client's words.

“Jacob was fantastic to work with from start to finish.
He was highly responsive from our very first meeting. I came in with a plan to throw money at an AI-based solution, but Jacob took the time to actually listen to our company's needs and the outcome we were after and proposed a smarter automation approach that skipped the AI complexity and the recurring per use fees altogether.
From there, the process was seamless. He gave me clear follow-up notes and next steps after every conversation, laid out a step-by-step overview of how our engagement would work, and kept the project moving with a solid timeline. He delivered everything he promised, and then some.
Even after launch, he stuck around to make small corrections and dial the program in exactly right and took the time to walk me through the back end so I could make my own tweaks if I ever needed to.
As someone fairly new to this space, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I'd recommend Jacob without hesitation.”
