For nontechnical pre-seed founders

Before you hire a developer,
build yourself an AI CTO.

Build your initial MVP with an AI technical partner that understands your product, challenges your decisions, and helps you figure out what actually needs to be built.

Spend less. Learn faster. Reduce technical risk before you raise.
Your AI CTO

Give the agent a real job.

01 / CONTEXT

Teach it the company.

Your product, users, business model, constraints, and what investors still need to believe.

02 / ROLE

Make it your CTO.

Give it clear technical responsibility so it can challenge assumptions and think with you consistently.

03 / WORKFLOW

Use it to build.

Shape the MVP, pressure-test tradeoffs, and create better instructions for coding agents or future developers.

The relationship is what makes it useful.

I help you develop a working relationship with your AI CTO—one that understands your company, challenges your thinking, and helps you make early product and technical decisions with more clarity.

Built inside startup culture

I've raised pre-seed myself.

Backed by investors including Debut Capital, Unseen Capital, and Camelback Ventures. I know the pressure of building the product while building the investor story.

In the culture

From the product to the room.

I've built software, led products, raised venture capital, and operated in the broader tech ecosystem — including opening for Jack Dorsey, cofounder and former CEO of Twitter (now X), at a diversity-focused Twitter event.

Interested?

Three questions.

01

What about this offering is most appealing to you?

3 sentences minimum.

02

How would you want to feel at the end of a 30-minute call with me?

3 sentences minimum.

03

What would you be willing to pay for a 30-minute call with me?

For context, I've previously been paid $500 for 30 minutes. That isn't a fixed rate here — I'm open to adjusting based on the founder and project. Don't overthink it. What feels like a fair exchange?
