Founder Ideation

    Pressure-test your idea before you burn six months on it.

    A two-week ideation sprint with an operator who has shipped real platforms. Wedge, moat, risks and a 30/60/90 — on paper, defensible, ready to fund.

    Direct work with Itai Varochik. No agencies, no juniors.

    The problem

    Most founders ship the wrong v1.

    • 01You can't tell if the market is real or you're rationalising.
    • 02Every advisor has a different opinion. None have skin in the game.
    • 03Each week of indecision burns runway you don't have.
    What you actually get
    • Operator thesis (1-page strategic memo)
    • Wedge & moat analysis
    • Competitive teardown of 5 incumbents
    • Risk register with mitigation paths
    • 30 / 60 / 90 day execution map
    What changes after
    • A defensible point of view
    • Clarity on what to build first
    • Confidence to commit (or kill)
