Co-founder pitches, sourced and curated.

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
Demo live, 3 months in. Company materials built out, multiple conversations with lenders and servicers for product feedback and positioning. Operator-led discovery approach: sits on-site with each customer's team for a week before configuring their platform.

Early Traction
Pre-seed in motion. $50k personal commitment and soft commits from other interested parties. Prospects in active discovery.

Their Background
Co-President of Parallel Lending, which he built from $0 to ~$28M in committed capital across 100+ loans with a sub-1% default rate. Prior VP at Three Point Capital (film finance) and Co-Head of Media & Entertainment at The Forest Road Company. MFA in Film Producing from UCLA, BA in Economics from St. Edward's.

What They Need
A technical co-founder to lead engineering from demo to production. Multi-tenant architecture, third-party integrations, and document processing experience ideal. Vertical SaaS or fintech background a plus.

The Idea
A transparent, data-driven marketplace for private loan sales, connecting lenders, institutions, and investors in a market that's still largely manual and fragmented.

Who It's For
Private lenders and institutions looking to buy and sell loans more efficiently, and future investors who want access to that asset class.

What's Built
MVP in progress on Lovable, 3 months in. Business overview, revenue model, and pitch deck underway.

Top performing sales rep at Tebra, a double unicorn healthcare SaaS. Independently built a music and content business to 10M+ streams and 50k followers. BS from University of Oregon Lundquist College of Business.

What They Need
A technical co-founder to own the build. Chrome extension experience and Salesforce API integration skills are a plus.

The Idea
PressLens is a story-first press intelligence platform for small businesses. Most PR tools make you search for a reporter and figure out the pitch yourself. PressLens flips it: a founder inputs their business URL, the platform finds their story, identifies journalists already covering companies like theirs, and tells them exactly what angle to use to get covered.

Who It's For
Small businesses that want press coverage but can't afford a full-service publicist or don't know how to navigate media outreach on their own.

What's Built
Initial site developed, waitlist live. Five weeks in.

Early Traction
Waitlist live.

Their Background
10 years as a publicist and agency owner. Worked at Endeavor (WME) before founding Possible PR in 2024. PR Net Next Gen Award recipient, recognized as one of the next generation of PR leaders.

What They Need
A product engineer to own the technical infrastructure and build alongside her. Preference for someone NYC-based. Looking for someone who ships fast and thinks about user experience as much as the code.

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
Casthub is a casting collaboration platform that centralizes submissions, reviews, and team decision-making for film and production teams. Casting today is fragmented across emails, spreadsheets, and multiple platforms, making it hard to track and collaborate. Casthub brings everything into one place.

Who It's For
Film production teams, casting directors, and actors who lose submissions, miss decisions, and waste time navigating disconnected tools.

What's Built
No product yet. Two years of problem validation through conversations with casting directors, actors, and production teams, who consistently flagged fragmented workflows and lost submissions as their biggest pain points.
