About me

Why most early-stage founders struggle with tech

  • Tech feels like a black box - you can’t lead what you don’t understand

​

  • You’ve tried doing alone - but managing the tech alone is overwhelming

​

  • Developers build what you ask for, not what you really need
     

  • You feel unsure whether the tech decisions being made are the right ones
     

  • You’ve wasted time (or money) trying to hire help, but still feel stuck
     

  • You want to plan ahead, but timelines and expectations keep shifting
     

  • MVPs get fragile, slow, and expensive to maintain
     

  • Fundraising questions leave you feeling expose
