Who it’s for
«An idea but no product»
We will validate demand and shape the concept before you invest in development.
«A technical founder»
To build what people pay for. I take on research, priorities and the path to the first paying users; you take the technology.
«An MVP for investors»
I help startups raise investment: product, team and the investor pitch.
