You're the product team, the marketer, and the support desk. AI can carry half of that if you set it up right. I help founders build the systems: content that gets you found, agents that handle the repeat work, and a software stack that doesn't eat your runway.
I'm a solo founder too. I built eezyRank, I'm building Fisheez, and I was in the top 1% of ChatGPT users worldwide in 2025. Everything I recommend, I run myself first.
What Our Customers Say

Scott went above and beyond anything we ever could’ve expected. He didn’t just teach our team to use Claude. He opened our eyes to a whole new way of working. He pulled our entire business together, rebuilt our sales process from the ground up, helped us get payroll organized, and got us ready to launch our new sales team. The real difference for us has been Scott. We are going to keep working with him long-term.

Scott and team just finished a deep dive on our website and it was eye-opening. They found and implemented several key fixes, and actually explained them so we could understand. We've already hired them for another project.

Working with Scott has been amazing! His ability to ingest information, understand it, and then help you understand it is second to none. His work ethic is unlike any I've seen. Scott's forward-thinking mindset is incredibly refreshing and helpful. If you want your website to be found more easily, do yourself a favor and talk to Scott and his team. But don't stop there. Scott has a wealth of knowledge that can help you in so many ways.
