[ THE WORK ]
Most founders I work with don't have a build problem — they have a first-version problem. They come with a messy idea, too many features, and no clarity on which one matters first. That's the work I do.
01
A messy idea and a half-clear business problem.
02
A website they've delayed for months.
03
An AI tool they want but can't explain properly.
04
A product with too many features, no v1 clarity.

The first version
worth building.
A K28 sprint usually delivers a tight, opinionated package — built for the actual user, not the founder's wishlist, and chosen for speed, cost and what won't bite you in month 3.
