Description
Five hours to go from idea to a working first version people can actually use. We cut your idea down to the one thing that proves it, pick a stack you can move fast on, and use AI to build in days what used to take months. I've shipped early products as a founding engineer at venture-backed startups, so we focus on what matters for a first version and skip what doesn't.
What you'll get from this package
A tightly scoped MVP plan and the tech stack to build it
A working first version in users' hands, built faster with AI

Founding Engineer at a16z & 1984 Ventures startups | Idea to MVP Coach
I've been a founding engineer at two venture-backed startups: Doublespeed, backed by a16z, and Clera, backed by 1984 Ventures with a $3M pre-seed. Now I'm co-founding my own company in stealth. I've seen up close how early teams decide what to build, ship a first version fast and win their first customers, and I've made those calls myself. I've also walked friends and mentees through starting their own companies, from validating an idea to shipping an MVP and landing early customers. I've helped people launch and run niche agencies, like marketing for med spas, with a focused offer and a repeatable client-acquisition system. Almost all of my recent work is AI, so I'll show you how to build and sell faster with a small team.
