You are moving fast in a direction nobody has confirmed.
Pre-seed rewards conviction and punishes it in equal measure. The decisiveness that gets a product built is the same decisiveness that commits you to a direction before the evidence is in, and a year spent building the wrong thing well is the most expensive mistake available at this stage. For AI-native companies there is a harder question underneath it: whether the intelligence is the product, or a feature attached to something that would survive without it.
At pre-seed, product, engineering, AI, customer discovery and fundraising are inseparable. Every decision changes what gets built and whether the company becomes fundable.
How we work with you here.
There is no organization to install anything into yet, so we work in short dense cycles with the founders. The output is a decision you can act on this week, not a document you file.
What that looks like
Fixed in scope and shaped to the stage. Most companies start with whichever one matches the constraint above. Cost is settled on the call.
Venture Foundation
Do we have a venture-scale company?
Wedge and problem refinement, ICP and customer workflow mapping, market and category analysis, competitive positioning, business model and initial pricing, and the milestones that follow from them.
Accelerator & Investor Readiness
Can we be competitive for the programs and investors we want?
Company diagnostic, founder-market-fit narrative, and wedge refinement, then application strategy for whichever gate you are aiming at, whether that is Y Combinator, Speedrun, HF0, PearX, Neo, CDL, Techstars, an angel group, or a pre-seed fund. Full application and materials review, demo and founder video preparation, challenge sessions, and repeated mock interviews. It ends with the fundraising readiness that follows either outcome.
AI-Native Product
What should the product be, given AI?
Identify the highest-value AI workflows, decide between SaaS, AI-assisted, and AI-native architecture, design the agents and copilots, settle the context and model strategy, define human-in-the-loop controls and an evaluation framework, then sequence the build.
Not sure this is your stage?
The scorecard takes two minutes and asks for no email. It tends to be a faster way to find the binding constraint than deciding in advance.
