For senior operators

Stay senior. Get paid. Build optionality in AI.

You've spent a decade shipping. Founders need that. We connect operators in Product, GTM, Fundraising, and Startup Law to vetted AI ventures with defined scope, concrete deliverables, and equity upside where it makes sense.

The expert-side stack

Four ways the network pays you back.

Most "AI communities" are LinkedIn-tier — long evenings, no pipeline, no deal flow. This is the opposite. Show up where your expertise is needed, get paid, build optionality.

01

Client Pipeline

Vetted AI ventures with defined scope come to us first. You see only briefs that match your craft — no inbound noise, no time-wasters.

Inbound · pre-qualified
02

Paid Work

Defined-scope engagements with real deliverables. You quote your rate, you ship the work, you get paid. No retainers buried in pitch decks.

Project-based · transparent
03

Deal Flow

Early access to ventures before they hit the open market. The ones you advise are the ones you can angel, board-advise, or back later.

Early access · operator-led
04

Equity Upside

Where the work warrants it, structured equity participation alongside cash. Meaningful stakes in companies you've actually helped build.

Aligned · meaningful
The crafts we match

If your expertise lives in one of these four, the network is built for you.

We index expertise by craft, not by title. Every match starts with a real problem an AI venture is trying to ship — and the operator who's solved it before.

How it works

You stay senior. We do the qualifying.

Apply once. We send only briefs that fit your craft, your stage preference, and your bandwidth. No reach-outs, no sourcing calls.

01

Tell us your craft

Pillar, what you've shipped, the stage and scope that fits — equity, cash, or both.

02

We send only matches

Pre-qualified founder briefs in your inbox. Skip what doesn't fit. No quotas, no obligation.

03

You ship, you get paid

Defined scope, defined fee, equity where it makes sense. Work you'd put your name on.

The application

Tell us where you've shipped before.

Senior operators only. We don't run a roster — we run a network. Short, specific applications get read first.

01You stay in control. No briefs are sent without your okay. Decline freely.
02Quality over volume. A few right matches per quarter beats inbound spam.
03Cash and/or equity. Whichever the work warrants, structured cleanly.
