I built this engine because I needed it.
I am David Jubé, an operator builder. Since 2023 I have run The Gourmet Host, a live mobile app and content platform for home entertaining, and built TDM Corp's Content Program.
I have shipped iOS and Android apps, grown organic search, and built a 30 contributor distributed operation on an elastic fractional model. Product, growth, partnerships and brand under one roof, which is exactly the perspective I bring to the founders I advise.
Why founder to founder.
The Gourmet Host runs on a live WordPress site, mobile apps, social channels, a weekly newsletter and a Meta ads program. One connected ecosystem, run with the operating discipline of an investor grade scorecard. The methods I bring you are the ones that survived that pressure.
The positioning, plainly: I am transferring a capability I already proved, not selling you hours. You inherit the hard fought lessons, and the work stays yours, on your own site, under your control.
I do not subcontract the thing I sell. The numbers on this site are mine before they are yours. David Jubé, Founder, The Gourmet Host and TDM Insights
If that is the way you would rather work, the next step is a call.
You get me on the call, reading your own data, writing your own plan.
Built the hard way, since 2023.
Building The Gourmet Host meant solving search, content, channels and product under real operating pressure: unifying seven hosting workflows into one product, negotiating premium content rights, and standing up a fully distributed team with document standards, brief templates and an operating cadence.
The thesis came from practice. More than 150 dinner parties hosted with my wife Talia between 2022 and 2024 formed both the product idea and its research foundation.
