Founder, Base. Vibe scale your business.

About

I've spent the last decade scaling four venture-backed businesses, three reaching unicorn valuation. I've also been a Private Equity investor, sat on both sides of the table as an operator and an investor. Founders can ship a product in a weekend now; Lovable, Cursor and Bolt took care of that. Building a business is a different problem entirely, and there's no equivalent shortcut for contracts, CRM, hiring and finance all landing at once with no team to handle them. That's what Base fixes. It gives lean founding teams the operating layer of a much larger company. A natural language command interface that connects your stack, resolves it into one picture of your business, and tells you what needs your attention next. Vibe coding got you to a product. Base gets you to a business.

base - The system of intelligence for lean founding teams

Base gives lean founding teams the operating layer of a much larger company. It is a command interface and system of intelligence, five layers: Setup, Orchestration, Company Brain, Memory, Intelligence. Instruct it in natural language to pull financial reports or draft investor updates, and it executes across your connected stack, getting sharper the longer you use it. Vibe coding got you to a product. Base gets you to a business.

The Engine - Operations infrastructure for the most ambitious Founders

Most founders at Seed, Series A and B are spending 15 to 20 hours a week on board packs, investor updates, hiring processes and planning cycles. The Engine delivers those outputs for you. Modular, fixed fee, defined deliverables, no headcount cost. Senior operator quality on a recurring cadence. We free up Founders' time to focus on what really matters: product, growth and fundraising.
