Build the right MVPwith guidance, not guesswork.

A structured program for founders who want to understand what they're building and avoid costly early mistakes.

Who this is for / not for

Good fit:

  • First-time founders
  • Non-technical or junior technical
  • Pre-seed / pre-revenue
  • Budget-conscious but serious
  • Willing to do the work

Not a fit:

  • "Build it for me"
  • Need a full product in 2 weeks
  • Enterprise requirements
  • No time to participate weekly

What is Guided MVP Builder?

This is not a course. It's not a dev agency. And it's not a generic startup program.

It's a small-group, hands-on program where you build your MVP while I guide scope, architecture, and decisions week by week.

  • Weekly working sessions
  • Scoped feature plan
  • Real product by the end
  • Validation-first
  • Production-ready foundation

Why most founders get stuck

  • Too many features
  • Unclear customer
  • Bad technical decisions early
  • Overpaying for dev
  • Endless rebuilding

Guided MVP Builder exists to prevent exactly this.

What founders leave with

This isn't just about shipping code. It's about transformation. Founders leave with clarity, confidence, and a product that answers the right questions.

The goal is to understand what you're building and why, so you can make better decisions long after the program ends.

  • A focused MVP that can be shown to users
  • Clear understanding of their core customer
  • A product they can iterate on confidently
  • A roadmap for what to build next (and what not to)
  • Technical foundation that won't need rewriting
  • 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.
