You must be in the US. I’m happy to do zoom demos for what we are building but we are rushing to launch as fast as we can. We are targeting 100 users 6 weeks after launch. I’ll personally sell to my network. Let’s meet if you’re in the US. If you can really, really design. If you are a cracked designer who can code, let’s chat. The rest of the team is in place. We move fast but given the compliance heavy nature of things we need to plan. Attention to detail is key, you should know how the product makes you feel and be hyper vigilant of the minor details that impact the full page.

I’ve posted on here a bunch, long story short we are building Jarvis for your home.

Let’s do a google meet for 30 minutes and see how we like each other.

Im looking for a co-founder who is obsessed with tech. Before I tell you more, I want to niche this down a bit: You've got to live in the United States or Europe, also, If you have proof of talent thats a plus. Im looking for someone who actually builds, don't really want someone who's good at looking good. Don't get me wrong, Being able to talk and present yourself is a going to be necessary, but show me how you think.

more of my values/prerequisites: Insatiable curiosity in that you know what you don't know and cannot help but ask 'why' even when it seems unreasonable, questions assumptions or rather can use logic to find the assumptions that don't seem worth questioning, willing to disagree and converse in a way that is very logical and non emotional, can change their mind, tells the whole truth as soon as they can (this is a partnership, but even our future employees should feel free to share mistakes in a safe place, its illogical to reinforce a self preservation mechanism with negative stimuli whenever someone brings up a truth that is 'bad'. My vision is a company that is intentional about the hearts of those who hang their hat with us), owning outcomes in that every problem and mistake is met with productive conversation about what will solve/ progress the problem/company, has taste (radical taste) and obsession for detail. meaning, being aware of how the smallest tinker in something makes you feel and obsession about how much impact the small things have, can actually work, understands AI on a deep level without worshipping it, someone who can tolerate sustained discomfort and intensity, and someone who can sustain a mission, and last but not least, someone who is interesting. Someone who has more than one color to them. These are my values and my vision for whatever we build together.

If this sounds like you, heres what Im building.

simply put, We are building frontier model for construction. This is a long term vision but I have the distribution to get us to 500k a mrr in rev in 6 months (we will be at a loss until 600k mrr); The goal is to build the stripped back V1 that me and my team can sell. We will get to 4k users in half a year but in order to do that I need someone who can build very fast and express ownership that is extreme, I plan on housing the company in Madison Wisconsin (or Florida) within the next quarter and relocating the team there aswell. We will not fundraise until series A (potentially sooner) meaning vested equity to start and once the app is build to distribute, low salaries to be increased as rev allows.

I want to share a bit about me, for starters i'm 21. I've been in industry my entire career; I've sold B2B and B2C over the last 5 years(closer to 6), I've scaled 3 companies to 5 figures a month and Ive had 3 six figure failures and 2 failed business partnerships and I've managed people/ Investor relationships in the past. Ive also studied business like mad since young and Ive been enamored by the lives of carnage for example. This will sound weird but my dream is and has always been to change the world, Ive got a child-like vision of doing something so remarkable, wether boring or not and changing the way that the world operates. I want to solve the biggest problem I can and build a multi trillion-dollar company.

enough about me the question becomes this; If any of this resonates with you, would you be willing to jump feet first into something that could very well not work out? Tech startups have a way of dying fast thats remarkable, if we pivot fast and focus on the end user like our lives depend on it I'm sure we will win but regardless, are you willing to shape the future and make your goal happen inside of the big goal.

also, if you are non-technical, feel free to reach out, I'm interested in learning about as much talent as i possibly can.

(PLEASE READ ALL)

I've spent the last few years researching one problem.

I don't think homeownership has an operating system.

Every home project starts from scratch. Homeowners make some of the largest financial decisions of their lives without fully understanding what they're buying. Contractors price work before the full picture is known. Every project becomes a new investigation.

I think that's a much bigger opportunity than another marketplace or another AI wrapper.

I'm building TrueFrog.

The long-term vision is to build the infrastructure layer for residential property—a system that changes how homeowners understand their homes, how contractors perform work, and how projects move from problem to completion.

The first product is much simpler.

>

What we're building first

We're intentionally starting with a human-backed service.

Software won't replace people in the beginning.

People will teach the software.

Homeowners will have a Home Advisor helping them understand their property, organize everything that matters, prepare projects before money moves, and preserve a permanent history of the home.

Every project teaches the system.

Every onboarding improves the product.

Every mistake becomes software later.

(not for strictly new homes. for all homes)

The go-to-market

This isn't a "build it and hope people come" company.

I own distribution.

I'll personally build and lead a field sales organization based in Madison, Wisconsin, focused on acquiring homeowners directly.

Our target is straightforward:

• 5 account managers
• 5 homeowner sales per person per day
• 25 new homeowners per day
• 150 per week
• roughly 600 per month

The first several hundred customers will join as founding members while we continue building the platform and refining onboarding.

Everything in the beginning will be intentionally unscalable.

I care much more about learning than looking efficient.

The business

The first version isn't selling software.

It's selling confidence.

Customers pay an onboarding fee and a monthly membership while we help them understand their home, prepare projects, and make better decisions.

Behind the scenes we'll be doing an enormous amount manually.

That's intentional.

The software should emerge from reality—not guesses.

My expectation is that we can build a multi-million-dollar recurring business doing deeply unscalable work before the platform reaches its full potential.

Why I'm hiring now

I don't trust outsourcing the foundation of a company I expect to spend the next 40 years building.

I'm looking for someone who wants to own this with me.

Who I'm looking for

I don't care whether you've worked at FAANG.

I care whether you can build.

I'm looking for someone who:

• ships quickly
• learns quickly
• thinks from first principles
• can live with ambiguity
• is comfortable doing repetitive work before automating it
• wants to build a company instead of chasing a title
• is willing to relocate when the company is ready

You don't need construction experience.

You do need curiosity.

If you've been through failure and kept going, that's a good sign. Shows Grit.

The mission

This is not a two-year startup.

It's a forty-year company.

The long-term goal isn't another contractor marketplace.

It's to build the infrastructure layer for property.

A future where every property has a living history.

Where homeowners understand what they own.

Where contractors start with the same facts as the homeowner.

Where projects are documented from beginning to end.

Where AI helps people make better decisions because it understands the full context of the property not just one conversation.

The plan

The immediate objective is simple.

Acquire homeowners.

Obsess over onboarding.

Turn manual work into software.

Build a company worthy of institutional capital.

If we execute well, we'll pursue a seed round to accelerate—not to discover whether there's a business.

If this sounds like the problem you've been looking for, send me a message.

I'd rather hear what you've built, what you've broken, and what you've learned than where you've worked.

(P.S. we are going to bootstrap/ revenue strap to retain control of the company. This is by far the most important piece of all of this. We want to structure as a PBC to restore Human Agency over the next 40 years. DM me for more info if you are in the US)

(P.P.S. I wrote this with A.I)

Hey everyone,

I’m working on a company in the residential construction and homeownership space, and I’m trying to get outside perspectives from people who think about venture investing.

I’ve spent the last couple years looking into this problem, talking with homeowners, contractors, and people around the industry. The thing that keeps standing out to me is how much responsibility homeowners have over one of the biggest assets they will ever own, while having almost no system that helps them actually understand it over time.

The information exists, but it is scattered.

An inspection report might be sitting in someone’s email from five years ago. Maintenance history is incomplete. Contractor quotes are separate from what actually happened on the project. Warranties get lost. Photos and receipts disappear. When someone new comes into the picture, whether that is a homeowner, contractor, or service provider, they usually have to start from scratch.

The idea I’m exploring is building a kind of memory system for the home.

Not just a place to store documents, but something that helps homeowners understand their property, make better decisions, manage projects, and eventually use AI to make sense of everything that has happened.

The easy comparisons are “Carfax for homes” or “ChatGPT for construction,” but I think those are probably incomplete.

A Carfax tells you what happened in the past. An AI assistant can answer questions. But there is still a missing layer between owning a home and eventually needing someone to come fix something.

Who understands the history of the property?

Why were certain decisions made?

What work was actually completed?

What changed along the way?

Did the solution actually solve the problem?

That is the part I find interesting.

The reason I’m posting here is because I’m trying to understand whether this is actually a venture-scale opportunity or whether it naturally becomes a services business.

My instinct is that the first version probably has to be very manual. I don’t think you can build software for a workflow you don’t understand. The early company would probably involve working directly with homeowners, inspectors, contractors, and other people in the ecosystem, learning where things break, documenting decisions, and figuring out what parts of the process can eventually become software.

The risk is obvious. You could accidentally build an expensive concierge service that never becomes scalable.

The upside is that if you can capture the right information and understand the workflow deeply enough, you might be able to create something that gets better with every home and every project.

The thing I keep coming back to is that a lot of companies already own pieces of this problem.

There are marketplaces that help homeowners find contractors. There are inspection companies. There are contractor operating systems. There are property management companies. There are AI tools entering construction.

But I haven’t found anyone who really owns the full timeline of the home.

Maybe there is a reason for that. Maybe homeowners do not care enough. Maybe the data is too fragmented. Maybe the operational complexity makes it impossible. Maybe an existing player is better positioned to win.

That is what I’m trying to figure out.

I’m also thinking about fundraising. I’m early in my career, so I understand the obvious challenge. Having a big vision is easy. Proving that you can actually execute is the hard part.

My current thinking is to spend the next phase doing the work that creates evidence. Build the right team, run structured interviews, launch small pilots, and learn as quickly as possible.

Then, instead of asking investors to believe a giant future vision, I can show them what has actually happened.

For investors or founders who have experience with early-stage companies, especially in proptech, marketplaces, AI, or businesses that touch the physical world, I would genuinely appreciate your thoughts.

Does this feel like a venture-scale company, or does it look more like a services business?

What would you need to see before believing the data and workflow could become a real advantage?

Would a manual first version be a smart way to learn, or would you see that as a trap?

How much does founder track record matter if someone can systematically turn uncertainty into evidence?

And if you think this idea is fundamentally wrong, I would honestly rather hear that.

I’m not looking for validation. I’m trying to find the reasons this should not work before spending years building it.

Appreciate any feedback.

Hey everyone,

I’m currently working on a company in the residential construction/homeownership space and I’m trying to get as much criticism as possible before I start seriously fundraising.

The basic idea is that owning a home is one of the biggest financial responsibilities people have, but there is no real system that helps people understand and manage the asset over time.

Most of the information about a home is fragmented. Inspection reports are in one place, contractor quotes are somewhere else, maintenance history is incomplete, warranties disappear, decisions are forgotten, and every new contractor or homeowner basically starts from zero.

The idea is to build something like a “memory layer” for the home. A system that helps homeowners understand their property, make better decisions, manage projects, and eventually use AI to help organize and reason through the complexity.

I know the easy comparisons are “Carfax for homes” or “ChatGPT for construction,” but I’m aware those are probably oversimplifications.

The thing I’m interested in is the missing layer between owning a home and hiring someone to do work on it.

Right now, there are marketplaces that help you find contractors. There are inspection companies that document conditions. There are contractor software companies. There are property management companies.

But I haven’t found something that really owns the full timeline of the home.

What happened?

Why did someone make a decision?

Who did the work?

What changed?

Did the solution actually work?

The way I’m thinking about starting is probably very unscalable at first. I don’t think you can build software for a process you don’t understand.

So the initial version would likely involve working directly with homeowners, inspectors, contractors, and other people in the ecosystem. A lot of interviews, manual coordination, documentation, and learning.

The goal would be to understand what can eventually become software, what requires human judgment, and what information actually creates value.

Some things I’m currently trying to understand:

Why has nobody created a dominant “Carfax for homes”?

Has this been attempted and failed because the demand isn’t there?

Or because the data is too fragmented?

Or because the product only becomes valuable during a transaction and not during normal ownership?

I’m also looking into whether home inspectors could be an important early distribution channel. They already enter homes, collect information, and have a trusted relationship with homeowners.

But I’m curious if anyone has experience here.

Would inspectors see this as valuable?

Would they view it as a threat to their customer relationship?

Is the liability too complicated?

I’m also trying to understand the fundraising side.

The company will probably require more capital than a normal SaaS company because it touches the physical world. There is operations, trust, data collection, partnerships, and eventually technology infrastructure.

My current thought is:

Build the initial team.

Run enough research and early pilots to prove that homeowners actually value this.

Raise an initial amount to prove the operating model.

Then raise a larger pre-seed once there is evidence.

Long term, I’m someone who believes in doing an unreasonable amount of outreach. When fundraising, I’m considering whether it makes sense to approach fundraising almost like a sales process and try to speak with thousands of investors instead of relying on a small number of introductions.

I have no idea if that is the right approach.

For founders who have raised before, especially in infrastructure, marketplaces, proptech, AI, or other capital-intensive areas:

How would you structure the fundraising process?

What proof points would you want before investing?

Would you prioritize revenue, partnerships, data acquisition, retention, or something else?

Is trying to talk to thousands of investors a smart way to approach fundraising, or is that just creating noise?

Also, if you think this idea is fundamentally flawed, I would honestly rather hear that.

I’m not looking for validation. I’m trying to find the reasons this should not work before committing years of my life to it.

If anyone has experience in this space or has thoughts on the thesis, fundraising strategy, or major blind spots, I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback.

I’m forming the early team for TrueFrog: homeowners should not have to make expensive, technical decisions about their homes with fragmented information, scattered records, and no trusted system carrying context forward.

The long-term vision is a persistent intelligence layer for homes. A homeowner would have one evolving property record that helps them understand the condition of the home, decide what should happen next, compare options, coordinate projects, preserve evidence, and learn from what happened afterward. Think of some combination of a living property history, a trusted home advisor, and an intelligence system for construction, but the company will be shaped by evidence rather than by forcing those analogies.

The initial work will be intentionally unscalable. We will interview homeowners, inspectors, contractors, estate managers, lenders, insurers, and other participants in the residential ecosystem. We will manually help people organize their homes, understand projects, coordinate decisions, and document outcomes. The purpose is not to pretend that a concierge service is a technology company. The purpose is to discover which judgments, workflows, and information structures can eventually be standardized, distributed, and automated.

I’m looking for U.S.-based people who may be capable of becoming founding-team members. I am particularly interested in technical product builders, AI and data engineers, construction operators, research-oriented product people, and people with unusually strong experience in residential services, inspection, property management, or project coordination. More important than the exact résumé is how you think, how you work without perfect instructions, and whether you care enough about the problem to spend time learning what is actually true.

This is not an immediate job offer, title promise, or equity negotiation. I want to form the team through real work before discussing permanent roles or ownership. We would begin with conversations, then small research or product assignments, and eventually a defined founding-team formation period. The goal is to discover whether we can work together under uncertainty, disagree productively, communicate bad news early, and turn manual learning into systems.

The culture I want is reality over ego, evidence over performance, long-term trust over short-term extraction, and execution over startup theater. I am not looking for people who only enjoy discussing AI, valuations, or massive future markets. The early work will involve interviews, spreadsheets, field visits, documentation, workflow design, customer support, legal questions, and many corrected assumptions.

The company is not intended to remain regional. Team members can be located throughout the United States, although some experiments will require travel or temporary geographic concentration because physical work benefits from density. The investor and company thesis is national. The early operating method is concentrated only when concentration helps us learn faster.

Send me a message explaining what part of the problem interests you, what you would naturally take ownership of, what relevant work you have done, and one assumption about this company that you think is probably wrong. I am more interested in a thoughtful disagreement than a polished expression of enthusiasm.

(P.S. Ideally you have lots of proof. I'd like to own fundraising as soon as humanly possible but I would like a team first. If you were apart of a previous exit or have some credibility, you would be incredibly valuable; the more proof the better the pitch deck haha!)

(P.P.S. Investors, you're gonna want to reach out aswell haha. It'll be worth your while;) )
