A working AI product in 5 days. Not six months.
You've got an AI idea your team's been circling for months. The longer it sits in planning, the more it costs you — in developer time, in missed opportunity, in competitors who ship first.
Together we identify the slice that matters most — then build it in about a week. Fixed price. Full handoff. Done.
I've been a CEO twice and a CTO three times. I co-founded CartHook ($250M in incremental revenue, acquired 2022). I'm not a freelancer writing code — I'm a founder who thinks like a PM, decides like a CEO, and ships.
You're not buying code. You're buying speed, judgment, and one person who owns the whole thing.
Most clients start with the AI Diagnostic ($2,500) to vet the idea before we build. Your full Diagnostic fee is credited toward the Sprint. Learn more →
“Ben is who you hire when you're tired of hearing ‘it's not possible’
or ‘it will take six months.’”Fintan Costello, Chairman & Board Advisor
Who this is for
CEOs, GMs, or COOs at tech or media companies, or agencies, who:
- Control the budget for a meaningful bet
- Know their market cold, but have engineers who aren't experts at SaaS or AI products
- Want to test before they commit, not after
What you get by Friday:
→ A working proof of concept of the slice that matters most — identified together during our Day 0 scoping call, built during the week.
→ A roadmap for what to build next, shaped by what the build actually revealed.
- Docs & Loom walkthrough for your team
- 30 days of post-Sprint bugfix support included
How I protect your downside on a Sprint
- Fixed scope, fixed fee. We agree in writing on one bet, one user, one core workflow, and a single success metric on Day 0. If something new comes up, it goes into a separate, separately priced follow-on Sprint — not this one.
- I build in TypeScript, Next.js, React, and Postgres. Standard stack your team already knows. Typically deployed on Vercel. No proprietary frameworks, no black boxes. Your engineers can read and run the code without me.
- 30 days of post-Sprint bugfix support. If something in the scoped build breaks under normal use in the first 30 days after handoff, I fix it at no extra fee.
Inside the Sprint
Day 0
Scoping
60-min kickoff + async back-and-forth to lock scope, constraints, and success metrics. Agreed in writing.
Days 1–4
Build
I execute on the scope. You get async updates along the way.
Day 5
Refine & handoff
Testing, polish, deployment, and handoff.
Investment & terms
$15,000 fixed fee
- Best case: you have confidence in your direction, something real enough to get feedback on, and momentum to build from.

50% on signing, 50% before handoff.
- Scope locked to the agreed brief.
- 30 days of bugfix support. Diagnostic fee ($2,500) fully credited.
