Forward Deployed Founder

Build the infrastructure. Own the category.

One operator running an AI machine. The machine is the hands. I map the system it runs, in the categories where AI touches money and memory.

The thesis

Intelligence got cheap. Accountability didn't.

AI moved the work up a layer. Hands stopped being the constraint, the map became the constraint. Someone has to design the system the machine runs, and answer for what it does with your money and your memory. That is my job. The human in the compute layer.

The index

Money in. Spend governed. Memory engineered.

invobi

Invoicing that clears on three payment rails. 23 currencies, one router, live in production.

02

Deadlatch

The open runtime governance stack for AI agents. Three small, open packages that close the loop around every action an agent takes. Enforce what it can do. Prove what it did. Watch what slipped through. Each runs on its own, zero dependencies, verifiable outside the tool.

How the operator works

Audit. Build. Ship. Days, not quarters.

One operator, one AI machine, the whole operation mapped as a graph. Every ship feeds the next. invobi moves the money in, Get Paid recovers the overdue, Deadlatch governs what agents do, Company Brain keeps the memory operable. The moat is the loop.
