Early-Stage Technical Investment.
For early-stage founders who need a hands-on technical co-founder — infrastructure, tools, mentorship, and an MVP build, without a massive upfront investment. Selective and hands-on by design.
A great idea and no budget to hire the senior engineer it needs.
No technical mentor in your corner as you make the early calls.
No infrastructure, no tooling, no idea where to even begin setting it up.
You need an MVP in front of users, not another six months of planning.
/ 01 What is included
A technical co-founder and a foundation.
The technical contribution is the investment — so your early capital can go to finding traction.
Workspace & collaboration setup
Google Workspace, Slack, and the collaboration stack set up properly so the team can actually work.
Cloud infrastructure setup & training
Hosting, environments, and security stood up — plus training so you understand what you are running.
MVP architecture & development
A pragmatic MVP architected and built to get in front of real users fast, without painting you into a corner.
/ 02 How it works
Fit → foundation → MVP → grow.
A long-term, equity-based partnership. This is selective — I take on a small number of founders at a time.
FitSelective
This is selective. We talk through the idea, the founder, and the market to see if it is a fit for both of us.
FoundationSet up
Workspace, collaboration tools, and cloud infrastructure stood up and explained — the operational base for a company.
MVPBuild
I architect and build the MVP, contributing the technical work as the investment, so capital goes to traction.
GrowMentor
Ongoing technical mentorship as you find traction, raise, and grow into a team that can carry it forward.
/ 03 FAQ
Questions founders ask.
Do you invest cash or technical work?
Primarily technical work. The investment is my time, architecture, and the MVP build — plus the infrastructure and tooling to operate — so your scarce early capital goes toward traction, not engineering bills.
What do you look for?
A committed founder with a validated idea in a market I understand, where applied AI and software are central to the advantage — and where a hands-on technical partner is the missing piece.
How much equity do you take?
It depends on the stage, the scope of what I am building and operating, and how much of the risk we are sharing. Terms are agreed up front and sized to the contribution.
What stage is this for?
The earliest stage — pre-seed and pre-product founders who need a technical co-founder to get from idea to a real MVP in front of users.
