Work with me

I take products from idea to launch — and run the people building them. A founder-operator across 20 ventures and 5 exits, web2 → web3. If you’re a studio or founder who needs someone who can actually ship and sell, that’s me.

What I bring

Ship products 0→1

Idea, wireframes, copy, build, launch. I’ve taken roughly 19 products from a blank Miro board to live — Web3Vacancy I built end-to-end on my own: LLM data pipelines, payments, SEO, the lot.

Lead & manage builders

I run the people, not just the roadmap. Designers, devs, marketers, biz-dev — I keep everyone aligned and shipping, the way I did across ElevenYellow’s portfolio.

Growth that prints

A decade of growth hacking, white and black hat. #1 Google rankings, a $2M+ early-bird campaign, 16 agency clients on $0 ad spend, and a doubled MRR on a SaaS product.

Sales & closing

What I’m best at. I connect with people and close — I’ve sold products, services, and the companies themselves. Five exits and counting.

Who I’m a fit for

GREAT FIT

  • Startup & venture studios that need a generalist operator
  • Pre-seed / seed founders who need someone to build and grow
  • Crypto & web3 teams that want a native who actually ships
  • Teams that value autonomy over hand-holding

PROBABLY NOT

  • Rigid roles with zero ownership or autonomy
  • Anyone after a button-pusher rather than an operator
  • Projects I can’t get genuinely excited about

Let's build the next one

I'm after a studio or team that needs someone to take a product from idea to launch — or to run the people building it. Growth, product, sales, the actual shipping: that's my lane. Got something cooking? Let's talk.
