Why Solo/Founder-Led?

No dilution. You work directly with the founder. No juniors learning on your time, no lost context in hand-offs.

Focus. One or two clients at a time means your project gets full attention and predictable delivery.

Expertise. 20+ years combining law, technology, and business. You get the full stack, not a specialist who needs others.
