Founder Pilot

Co-build your custom business tool with an engineer, at a fraction of the usual cost.

Founder Pilot is for domain experts who know their business inside out but have no IT team. You bring the workflow and the feedback — we design, build and refine a practical tool around it: dashboards, data pipelines, automations. In exchange for your input and a reference, you get heavily discounted R&D pricing. Where it helps, we use AI as an accelerator — the value is the hours saved, not the technology.


Who it is for
  • Niche business owners and industry insiders with no IT background
  • Operators doing repetitive research, data entry or reporting by hand
  • Founders who want to validate a micro-SaaS idea on their own workflow first
What you get
  • Custom dashboard or automation tailored to one real workflow
  • Data pipeline: collect, clean and structure your market or operational data
  • Weekly iterations driven by your feedback, not by spec documents
  • Deployed tool you keep using after the pilot

How it works

  1. 1Setup week

    We connect your sources, prototype the pipeline and mock up the dashboard.

  2. 2Beta & validation

    You use the beta in real work. Short weekly syncs to validate output and tune the workflow.

  3. 3Reference & network

    We document the productivity gain as a case study and you introduce two peers who could need the same.

Pricing

  • Setup: fixed 500€ – 1,500€, paid once at signature
  • Monthly: 0€ once you introduce 2 qualified peers

The setup fee filters non-serious inquiries and covers baseline infrastructure. No hidden retainer while you stay an active reference.

What we ask from you

  • One or two short syncs per week during the build to validate results
  • Permission to use measured gains (e.g. hours saved) as an anonymized or public case study
  • Warm introductions to at least 2 colleagues or partners with a similar need

Questions

I have zero technical knowledge. Is that a problem?

No — that is exactly the profile. You describe the job to be done and react to what you see. We handle all technical complexity.

Who owns the tool?

You get a perpetual, exclusive right to use the tool configured for your business. Core engines stay ours so we can keep improving them.

What happens after the pilot?

You keep using the tool. Optional hosting and maintenance can be discussed, but there is no forced monthly fee.
