01Answers

01How is this different from a course?

A course is one path for everyone. This is your repo, your product, your career, on the call, with someone who'll tell you when the plan is wrong. If a course would solve your problem, buy the course — it's cheaper.

02Do you actually do this regularly, or is this new?

I coach engineers and founders on an ongoing basis, mostly through referrals and people who find me in developer and startup communities. This site exists because word-of-mouth outgrew my inbox.

03What if I need help across more than one track?

Normal. Most founders need the technical track and the go-to-market track at once. Tracks are how the site is organized, not how sessions are rationed.

04Can you just build it for me?

The Build intensive is the closest thing — I work directly in your repo alongside you. Pure done-for-you delivery isn't what this is; you'd be buying an agency, and I have opinions about agencies.

05What do I need to have before we start?

A specific problem and the ability to act on the answer. No prior AI tooling experience required for any track.

06How do sessions work logistically?

Video call, screen sharing, recorded if you want it. Async is over email or a shared channel, your preference.

07What's your refund policy?

If the first paid session isn't worth what you paid, tell me and I'll refund it. After that, monthly plans cancel any time and you keep the rest of the month.

08Do you take equity instead of cash?

No. It complicates the relationship and makes it harder for me to tell you something you don't want to hear.
