Is this why you're here? 💔
The vision translation gap
You have the technical vision but no trusted partner to translate it. You're forced to personally direct the design, struggling to turn your concept into a sophisticated product.
The hiring bottleneck
You need an A-level team now to hit your market window, but hiring senior talent is slow and costly. You're burning runway, and know uncommitted freelancers won't deliver.
Speed vs. scalability
Pressure to 'move fast' forces you to use generic templates or developer-led design. This creates a non-competitive product and massive design debt that cripples scalability.
