Find Co-Founders in North America at Initial Validation stage

The Idea
Quotio is an AI-powered field service marketplace. Customers upload photos, AI estimates cost and matches them with contractors. Contractors bid on jobs, then use Guide Mode where AI watches through their camera and coaches them in real-time with instructions and upsell suggestions. After completion, AI verifies quality and releases payment. Starting with gas pump detailing, then expanding to HVAC, plumbing, and equipment repair.

Who It's For
Field service contractors and the businesses that hire them. Starting with gas stations, a fragmented, underserved market where scheduling, quality, and payment are all broken.

What's Built
No product built yet, but distribution is already in place: 100+ gas station clients from his existing cleaning business are ready to be the first customers.

Early Traction
100+ gas stations across Michigan actively using his field service business, giving him a direct pipeline for the initial market.

Their Background
Founded Green Clean Tech and grew it to 100+ gas stations with zero outside funding, building scheduling systems, hiring processes, quality checklists, and payment processing from scratch. Previously in sales at Cintas and as a loan officer at Rocket Mortgage. 4 years of college football at Adrian College.

What They Need
A technical co-founder to build mobile apps with AI integration. Offering a 50/50 split. The founder brings customers, sales, operations, and direct industry knowledge.

The Idea
Tutr is a B2B SaaS platform that helps schools run and scale their tutoring programs. Centralizes tutor management, scheduling, session tracking, and engagement analytics in one dashboard, with plans for AI-assisted scheduling and a broader tutoring marketplace.

Schools and academic institutions looking to modernize how they manage peer tutoring and academic support programs.

The Idea
Prelia is an AI-native operating system for non-bank real estate lending firms ($10M–$500M AUM). Replaces legacy loan origination systems and adds an intelligence layer that recommends actions and flags risk, compounding in value as the customer base grows.

Who It's For
Hard money funds, bridge lenders, and private credit firms that have outgrown spreadsheets and legacy LOS tools. He co-manages an active hard money fund, so he's the customer.

What's Built

The Idea
A B2B sales enablement tool targeting a specific pain point he experiences firsthand in his day job. Details kept tight for now, but Salesforce integration is central to the product.

Who It's For
B2B SaaS sales teams. He's built the target ICP already and has a clear sense of the buyer from working inbound and outbound sales motions closely with marketing and GTM teams.
