Who We Work With
Built for founders, not engineers.
You don't need a technical background to build a great company. You need a technical team and AI infrastructure that are aligned with your success, not just billing by the hour.
Why It Works
Incentives that mirror yours.
Agencies charge the same whether your product ships or flops. AI vendors charge monthly retainers whether the agents perform or not. We hold equity with a 4-year vest across both services, so if you don't succeed, neither do we. That changes everything about how we work.
