What I look for

Founders who ship.

The pattern is consistent: operators who already make things, who have an audience or customer in motion, who can describe the next 90 days in concrete language. No vibes-only theses.

01

Operating muscle

You've already built something, even if it's small. You can describe how the work actually happens.

02

Real audience

Real customers, listeners, viewers, users, or buyers — even if early. Not just a deck and a TAM slide.

03

Cultural taste

The brand, the product, the comms — taste shows up at every layer. If you can't tell yet what good looks like, I probably can't help.

Fits the thesis?

Bring the brief.
