Looking for 1–2 Founders Who Need a Senior Builder to Ship Their MVP Fast (3–5 Weeks)

Over the last few years I’ve built MVPs that made it into 500 Startups, helped tiny teams (4–6 engineers) ship features entire ops teams depended on, and launched products that hit Top 3 on Product Hunt.

But the work I’m best at — and honestly enjoy the most — is helping a non-technical founder turn something messy into something launchable.

After my last IH post, I ended up talking with a bunch of founders. Different ideas, different backgrounds, same pattern:

Most people aren’t stuck because the idea is wrong.
They’re stuck because they don’t have a senior builder guiding the product to the finish line.

That’s where I fit.
I’m not an agency.
I’m not a “3-month planning” consultant.
I build. I simplify. I ship.

🧩 What I actually do

1️⃣ MVP Build — $5K–$15K (3–5 weeks)

For founders who want a real, working V1 — not a prototype that dies in Figma.

Typical MVP includes:

login + onboarding

your core user flow

dashboard + basic analytics

admin basics

deployment + hosting

AI-powered features where they actually make sense
(GPT integrations, workflows, summarization, embeddings, automation, etc.)

⚙️ Quick note on AI dev tools (Lovable, Replit, v0, etc.)

I use AI tools when they help — they’re great for speed.
But shipping a real product still needs senior judgment:

deciding what belongs in V1 (and what doesn’t)

structuring the system so it doesn’t collapse later

avoiding tech debt AI spits out

fixing the logic gaps AI can’t see

making the app stable enough for real users

AI can generate code.
It can’t make product decisions.
It can’t ship a reliable V1 without someone senior directing it.

If you want AI-level speed and a product that actually holds up, that’s where I’m useful.

Clean. Fast. Launchable.

enough polish to feel legit to users/investors

Clean. Fast. Launchable.

2️⃣ “Fix My Half-Built MVP” Sprint — $3K–$7K

This is the most common IH problem.

Perfect if your product is:

60% done

built by a junior/freelancer

buggy or inconsistent

almost there but not really

I audit it, fix the critical parts, unblock everything, and get it ready to ship.

3️⃣ Ongoing Senior Support (Indie-Friendly Retainer)

For founders who want senior help weekly —
guiding decisions, fixing issues, unblocking devs, keeping momentum.

Starts $2K–$4K/week, depending on load.

Not corporate CTO vibes — just practical senior support.

🔥 Who I work well with

Founders who:

want to actually launch something

are clear about the problem they’re solving

are tired of rewrites and ghosted freelancers

don’t want agencies

want senior clarity + speed

aim to ship in the next 1–2 months

value execution over theory

If momentum is your goal, we’ll click.

💡 Quick note on pricing

If your idea is strong, your scope is clear, and you’re serious about launching — but the pricing above is a stretch — I occasionally take on reduced-rate or hybrid deals when the project genuinely makes sense.
If that’s you, still reach out and tell me what you’re building.

⚡ What working with me feels like

Straightforward.
Fast loops.
Clear priorities.
Zero drama.
No giant spec docs.
Just build → refine → launch.
