Founder-Led Venture Development Studio · Phoenix, Arizona

Concepts Built to Become Companies.

I build original venture concepts across commerce, behavioral design, and technology. Each starts with a specific problem hypothesis, a workable business model, and a clear next step toward launch.

Three venture theses are in development, with opportunities for operating leadership, technical collaboration, pilot participation, and investor conversations identified by project.

Current venture theses

Each summary states what exists today, what still needs to be proven, and the next measurable step.

Commerce & Market Infrastructure

Swift Deal Solutions

Concept DesignedSeeking Operating Partner

Target customer: Owners and qualified buyers in fragmented, high-value asset markets.
Problem hypothesis: High-value transactions often depend on slow discovery, inconsistent screening, and informal coordination between multiple parties.
Proposed solution: A structured sourcing and transaction service designed to help qualified parties identify, evaluate, and advance off-market opportunities.

Proposed revenue model

Proposed transaction fees, qualified introductions, premium positioning, and optional concierge services.

Evidence completed

Founder thesis and initial transaction workflow defined; customer discovery remains to be completed.

Next milestone

Interview the first customer segment and test one end-to-end transaction workflow.

Behavioral Performance

MyHealthyAura

Concept DesignedSeeking Pilot Conversations

Target customer: Adults seeking structured focus, motivation, and personal-performance support.
Problem hypothesis: Most productivity tools organize tasks but do little to address resistance, attention drift, or inconsistent follow-through.
Proposed solution: A guided one-to-one format combining conversation, focus conditioning, and personalized behavioral routines.

Proposed revenue model

Proposed direct session packages, guided programs, and a future recurring offering subject to validation.

Evidence completed

Service concept and offer structure defined; outcomes and repeat demand have not yet been measured.

Next milestone

Run a defined pilot and measure completion, perceived value, and repeat interest.

Intelligent Systems & Robotics

Multi-Robot Orchestration Platform

Thesis DefinedSeeking Technical Co-Founder

Target customer: Robotics teams operating heterogeneous robots across changing environments.
Problem hypothesis: Multi-robot systems need better ways to assign work, evaluate outputs, share capabilities, and recover when conditions change.
Proposed solution: A coordination layer for delegating tasks across robots and software agents while tracking capabilities, results, and failure recovery.

Proposed revenue model

Proposed enterprise licensing, usage-based infrastructure, managed deployments, and integration work.

Evidence completed

Core architecture and repository concept documented; a focused production proof of concept is still required.

Next milestone

Build and test one narrow orchestration workflow with measurable success and recovery criteria.

02 / The Studio

A good idea is only the starting point.

The studio turns overlooked market problems into ventures that can be tested, funded, and built. For each concept, I define the customer, offer, proposed revenue model, operating requirements, key risks, and next validation step.

The goal is straightforward: move each venture from a promising concept to a business that serious partners can evaluate.

Identify

Find a recurring problem that people or businesses may pay to solve.

Design

Define the customer, offer, proposed revenue model, and operating requirements.

Test

Challenge the main assumptions through interviews, demand tests, or prototypes.

Build

Bring together the people, capital, and partnerships needed to launch.

03 / Founder Blueprint

One founder. Three working disciplines.

I build ventures using experience from three areas: running businesses, studying human behavior, and working with technical systems.

I previously built and operated Jentlemens, an independent e-commerce business that reached approximately $20,000 in monthly gross revenue at its peak. Running it taught me the practical side of customer acquisition, pricing, fulfillment, reputation, and supply-chain pressure.

My background in psychology and hypnosis shapes how I think about attention, motivation, decision-making, and product adoption. My technical work helps me map workflows, define product requirements, and communicate clearly with the people building the system.

I do not need to pretend to be the final expert in every discipline. My role is to find the opportunity, connect the business and product logic, identify what still needs to be proven, and bring the right people into the venture.
