I don't specialize in an industry. I specialize in the stage before a company becomes a company.
The period when an idea is still uncertain, the product does not yet exist, the market is unproven, and the organization has not been built.
Over the years, I've co-founded or helped create companies in Computer Vision, IOT, Big Data, Retail AI, FinOps, Data Infra, and some older industry companies in the realms of Hospitality and Medical Tourism. Different markets. Different needs, but the work is always the same: defining the problem, finding PMF, raising the first capital, assembling the initial team, and building the company around it.
Most companies are built after a category is understood. The work I enjoy starts earlier.
My Journey
Codata. An AI-native backend platform designed to help builders turn AI-generated applications into real products. While modern AI tools can generate impressive software in minutes, building a reliable application still requires decisions around data, APIs, infrastructure, authentication, and deployment. Codata removes that complexity.
By providing an adaptive backend layer that evolves alongside the application, Codata allows builders to focus on the product rather than the underlying infrastructure. The company's mission is simple: make it possible for anyone building with AI to create applications that are not only fast to generate, but capable of lasting in the real world. READ MORE
