What Black Falcon Consulting does

Black Falcon Consulting is a privately-held, sole-practitioner professional services firm founded in 2013 and headquartered in Spring Lake Heights, New Jersey. The firm, operated by founder John C Curtis, specializes in product management and product marketing advisory services for companies developing mobile technologies, mobile devices, network equipment, and communications systems. Service offerings span four interlocking lines: Product Management Consulting, Product Marketing Solutions, Go-to-Market Strategy Services, and Agile/Framework Consulting. The practice is positioned for end-to-end coverage of the mobile stack, from the device through the access network into the mobile services core, and is differentiated by AIPMM credentials (Certified Product Manager, Agile Certified Product Manager, Certified Product Marketing Manager) and adaptive use of waterfall, scrum, Kanban, Lean, or other methodologies based on client fit.

The underlying "technology" is the consulting methodology itself rather than software. Curtis brings 20+ years of mobile and telecom product management experience, including prior roles at startups and multinational firms, co-authorship of five telecom patents, and expertise in network and application performance testing. There is no proprietary software product, no platform, no apps, and no AI component — the deliverable is insights, recommendations, and execution support delivered through direct client engagements.

The business model is professional services on a quote-based, custom engagement basis. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct: clients reach out via phone or email, with on-site consultations available in southern Monmouth County. The firm explicitly states "a satisfied customer is our best marketing tool," indicating a referral-driven growth model with no active marketing channels, no channel partners, no disclosed customer logos, and no case studies. The firm has no disclosed funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no identifiable institutional backing.
