Who this is for / not for
Good fit:
- ✓Building with Lovable, Cursor, or Claude Code
- ✓Non-technical or semi-technical founders
- ✓Have a build in progress (not still in idea stage)
- ✓Want a technical gut-check, not just a community
- ✓Ready to ship, not just talk about shipping
Not a fit:
- ✗Still in idea stage with nothing built yet
- ✗Want someone to build it for you (that's a retainer)
- ✗Not willing to show your code and get honest feedback
- ✗Looking for a course with lectures and homework
What is the Founder Mastermind?
This is not a course. There's no curriculum, no lectures, no homework assignments.
It's a small group of founders building real products with AI tools who have a senior developer watching their code, answering their questions, and telling them what to fix before it becomes a problem.
- •Code audit when you join — know exactly where you stand
- •Slack access — async questions answered within 48 hours on weekdays
- •Monthly group call — 90 min, hot seat format, real problems
- •Peer cohort — up to 14 other founders at the same stage
- •Quarterly intake — new members join every 3 months
Why most founders get stuck
- •Too many features
- •Unclear customer
- •Bad technical decisions early
- •Overpaying for dev
- •Endless rebuilding
The Founder Mastermind exists to prevent exactly this.

What founders leave with
This isn't a course. There's no curriculum. You're building your actual product with real support and real accountability.
The Mastermind exists so you're never building alone, never guessing if your code is solid, and never one bad decision away from a rewrite.
Why founders work with me
I've built MVPs for accelerator founders, non-technical teams, and first-time founders who needed clarity more than code.
People aren't buying the curriculum. They're buying my judgment. Every decision is optimized for validation and waste prevention.
✓Partner developer for multiple accelerator cohorts
✓Built MVPs for 20+ non-technical founders
✓Specialized in scope control + validation
✓Known for pushing back on unnecessary features
✓Focused on business risk, not just code
