You're running a product without a senior technical person. You get a senior technical owner who answers in writing, with no meetings.

Cover

What you get

  • A senior technical owner who answers in writing within the tier's response time
  • Decisions with the reasons written down: what to build, what to buy, what to skip
  • A second opinion on every quote, hire and tool before you pay for it
  • Code checked before it ships (Technical lead and Hands-on CTO)
  • The hard parts built by me (Hands-on CTO)

This is for you if

  • You're a non-technical founder with a product built by AI tools, freelancers or an agency
  • You have developers and nobody senior checking their work or setting priorities
  • You need technical answers you can show an investor or a partner

Not included

  • Calls, video meetings or standups. Everything is in writing.
  • Work on your live data. I work on code.
  • Managing people's hours, payroll or HR. I write the tasks and review the work.
  • Being named as an officer or director of your company.

Proof

PasClaw, ION7, GridRocket, TuneSizzle and CyberStory are AI products I built and run.

All of them take payments through Stripe.

1+ billion AI images delivered and 20,000+ GPU hours run over my career.

How it works

  1. 1Pick a tier and pay for the first month. The monthly price is fixed.
  2. 2Answer a few written questions about your product, team and goals.
  3. 3Within the first week you get a written review of where things stand and what to do first.
  4. 4From then on you send questions and decisions in writing and get written answers, reviews and builds for each month you pay for.

What I need from you

  • A written description of the product and where it stands
  • Access to the repo or AI builder project
  • Who's on the team and what they do
  • Your top 3 worries
  • One person who can approve decisions
