for founders

watch a builder work — then hire.

post a small paid project on your real problem. see how someone actually builds — not how they interview. keep the work, and hire if it’s a fit.

two ways to start

not sure which? start an open build — that’s what most founders do.

how it works
01
post your build

describe it in plain words — we shape it into a clean brief builders can act on. no stack pinned? leave it open.

02
a builder works on your real problem

scoped, paid, time-boxed. you watch how they actually build — not how they interview.

03
you decide

keep the work either way. make the hire when the fit is obvious.

not sure what you need yet?

post an open build. let a founding engineer make the calls.

two minutes, plain words. we turn it into a brief and put it in front of builders who’ve built it before.
