Vetted Co-Founders

“Cloud engineer and cloud OS SME (Chevron) who productionized large-scale security remediation—using Tanium and Ansible to address CIS benchmark noncompliance across 5,000+ servers with robust logging and RCA handoffs. Also drives adoption of a geospatial AI refinery inspection product by consolidating siloed imagery into an enterprise geospatial database, and presents internally on agentic/LLM tooling (LangChain/LangGraph, LangSmith observability).”

“Early-stage/first sales hire profile with strong outbound motion and process-building experience. Self-sourced and closed a $2.8M Yahoo deal (8-month cycle) using a shared mutual plan to manage stakeholders and timelines, and has recent mid-market ACV wins selling Mapistry to environmental compliance managers by enabling champions to secure internal budget. Has also implemented MEDDICC and built foundational GTM assets (e.g., Quantcast’s first sales deck used in $2B+ of closed business).”

“Full-stack engineer who built and owned an AI-powered personal statement editor in Next.js (App Router + TypeScript), including dynamic routing, server-side data fetching, and typed API route handlers. Post-launch, they handled production monitoring/debugging and shipped reliability/performance upgrades (rate limiting, retries, rollback, DB indexing), and report a 40% latency reduction using Suspense/streaming and React concurrency patterns. Also implemented a durable Temporal-orchestrated AI document workflow with robust retry/idempotency strategies.”

“Engineering/technology leader who spearheaded an ultra low-latency AI-CDN SaaS platform on a multi-cloud stack (AWS/Azure/Alicloud), helping transform ARHT from a boutique provider into a global SaaS solution. Built distributed engineering and follow-the-sun support teams and helped secure major enterprise clients (TD Bank, Gucci, NATO, EY) while also leading board communications and raising $6M for a public-listed company.”

“Solo-built and launched an AI logo generator SaaS in ~2 months using React/Next.js/TypeScript with managed auth and payments, deploying via Vercel/GitHub CI/CD. Also has hands-on AWS production experience running containerized services with Terraform-managed multi-environment infrastructure and strong reliability patterns for integrations/pipelines.”

“Product/UX designer who has led end-to-end design systems for high-impact, multinational products—most notably a live African Union policy tracking platform used by 11 countries. Experienced translating complex, regulated workflows into intuitive experiences (including a gamified pediatric vaccination journey) and collaborating closely with engineers using component-based design systems and Agile delivery.”

“Sales/business development operator who has repeatedly built outbound motions from scratch—most recently launching a B2B recruiting GTM at Pinnacle Private Credit, generating 50+ relationships, a $50K+ pipeline in 5 weeks, and closing 7 enterprise agreements with C-suite financial services stakeholders. Also co-founded a defense tech startup (multi-sensor aerial threat detection), led investor outreach to 100+ investors, and applies AI/ML both for outreach personalization (ChatGPT/Claude) and product work (sensor fusion/threat detection).”
