I'll build your MVP in days, not months.

You're a non-technical founder with a real problem, real users, and no product. I'm the AI-native engineer who turns your idea into a working web app you can demo to customers and investors this month.

Who I Am

I'm Rayan Pal – CS grad, AI engineer, and high-velocity builder. I use frontier models (OpenAI + Anthropic) as a force multiplier, not a crutch.

I've built full-stack apps end-to-end with AI as my dev team. I also run a multi-model collision lab (OpenAI vs Anthropic) to study model behavior, so I understand LLM-powered products deeply.

I sit at the bridge between non-technical and technical founders: I can talk user, business, and architecture in a single conversation.

Is This For You?

✓ This is for you if

  • You're non-technical or lightly technical
  • You have a specific problem / niche / workflow in mind
  • You've talked to real users or have a waitlist
  • You care more about getting into the market than over-engineering v1

✗ This is not for you if

  • You want to build "the next Facebook" as v1
  • You have no users and no real problem defined
  • You want a big agency, weekly ceremonies, and corporate vibes

How It Works

1

You tell me what you want to exist

Fill out the form below with your problem, users, and must-have features. Attach any docs, screenshots, or notes.

2

I design a lean, realistic v1

I translate your idea into a concrete feature set and architecture that can be shipped fast and extended later.

3

You get a custom Founder Diagnostic

You receive a structured breakdown of feasibility, suggested v1 scope, timeline, and pricing tier. If we're a fit, you'll also get my calendar link.

4

We meet, align, and I build your MVP

We do a short call, lock the scope, you pay upfront, and I ship an actual product you can show customers and investors.

FAQ

Do you join as a full cofounder?

Sometimes, if everything aligns perfectly – mission, chemistry, equity. But usually I'm the "MVP strike engineer": I build your v1, hand it off clean, and you take it from there. Optional retainer if you want me to keep building.

What tech stack do you use?

Boring, modern, easy-to-hire-for: TypeScript, Next.js, React, Node, Postgres, Prisma. Sometimes Python for AI-heavy stuff. Nothing exotic – the goal is a product future engineers can maintain.

What if my idea is half-baked?

That's fine. Part of the Founder Diagnostic is helping you scope a realistic v0.5 or v1. If you're too early, I'll tell you – no hard feelings.

Do you work for equity only?

No. There must be cash upfront. I'll sometimes take reduced cash + equity for the right opportunity, but "equity only" means I'm taking all the risk while you take none. That's not how this works.
