10-20 hrs/week. Focused on people, process, and delivery.
Engineering Team Build
Your entire engineering department as a service. Product thinking, engineering, QA, and operations — one team, fully aligned, shipping from week one.

- →You want engineering, product, and QA as one unit
Dedicated team. Monthly retainer. We are your engineering department.
Technical Co-Founder
For founders building something that matters. We become your technical partner — equity-aligned, long-term, soul in the game. Not a vendor. A co-builder.
WHAT WE DO
- →Full technical ownership from idea to production
- →Equity-aligned partnership — we succeed when you succeed
- →Product strategy, architecture, and hands-on engineering
- →Fundraising support: pitch decks, technical due diligence, demos
- →Long-term commitment: we stay through launch and beyond
- →AI-native stack from the start — no legacy, no retrofitting
YOU NEED THIS WHEN
- →You have a mission but not a technical co-founder
- →You want a partner who cares about the outcome, not just billable hours
- →You are building in health, community, impact, or human connection
- →You need someone who has shipped real products, not just consulted
Equity + reduced rate. Selective — we only take projects we believe in.
AI Integration
Move from AI pilots to production systems. Custom agents, workflow automation, and AI-augmented tools that actually ship — not demos that die in staging.

- →AI strategy audit — what is worth automating, what is not
- →Custom AI agents and MCP servers for your workflows
- →LLM integration into existing products
- →Prompt engineering and evaluation frameworks
- →Internal tool automation (support, ops, data)

- →You want AI in production, not just in demos
- →Your competitors are shipping AI features and you are not
Project-based or ongoing advisory. Scoped to measurable outcomes.
NOT SURE WHICH FITS?
Most founders start with a conversation. We will help you figure out what you actually need.
