WHO WE WANT · 02
Operators, not pitchers.
✓
Technical operators
Built and shipped real software. Not first-time PMs.
✓
Domain conviction
One sector you understand at the molecular level.
✓
AI-native instinct
You see where AI compresses a workflow, not just adds one.
✓
Bias to ship weekly
Comfort with public deltas, comfort with being wrong.
✓
Available for build calls
We compress launch timelines. Expect undivided attention during sprints. Daily standups, late-night pushes, no half-presence.
✓
Owns the capital strategy
We don't write checks. You raise externally or bring your own. We help with the deck and the room.
