01 / SOUND FAMILIAR?
STAGE 01
The product isn’t done
We’ll diagnose technical blockers and identify the next step toward a working release.
“I’m really frustrated. I get so close, but I can’t seem to finish.”
“Every fix breaks something else. I’m prompting in circles.”
“I’ve been at this six months. Nobody understands how hard it’s been.”
STAGE 02
No customers yet
We’ll help clarify your buyer, offer, and next customer-acquisition experiment.
“It’s built. Now I’m scared nobody will want it.”
“Two customers the first week. Then a month of nothing.”
“200 cold emails. Three replies. No sales.”
STAGE 03
Scaling without it falling over
We’ll identify what’s limiting reliability, architecture, performance, or AI costs.
“People sign up. I can’t tell you where they drop off.”
“One user burned $100 of inference in two hours.”
“I only find out it’s broken when someone emails me.”
You don’t need to have it all figured out. That’s the point.
Tell us where you’re stuck02 / HOW IT WORKS
Who you are, a link, where you are right now, and what you’re stuck on.
30 minutes with the right founder who’s been on both sides of the problem.
We’ll identify what’s in the way and send a short written recommendation: one next action, why it matters, and how to measure progress.
When a problem needs more than advice, we can help execute, whether that’s getting a product ready to launch, testing an acquisition strategy, or improving reliability. We agree on scope, deliverables, and price upfront.
