Fragile Ventures

Skip the Build. Start with Traction.

You want to own a real product — not spend 12 months building an MVP that might not work. Start with something that's already built right, with users who already care.

Find Your Product

Building from Zero Is a Grind

You've got the drive. Maybe some savings, maybe remote income, maybe skills you're ready to put to work. What you don't have is 6-12 months to burn on an MVP that statistically won't find product-market fit.

The alternative? Marketplaces full of:

  • •Abandoned side projects with mystery code
  • •Template sites dressed up as "businesses"
  • •Technical debt bombs waiting to explode
  • •"Businesses" that are really just domains

You deserve better.

Why This Works

You Don't Need to Be Technical

These products have solid foundations. You can operate, grow, and manage without writing code. I'll help with the transition.

De-Risked Starting Point

Real users. Proven concept. You're not guessing if it works — you're deciding if you can grow it.

Partnership Available

Not ready for full acquisition? Let's talk partnership. You bring growth skills, I bring the product.

Real Support

I'm not disappearing after the sale. Transition support, documentation, and ongoing availability are part of the deal.

What to Expect

Every product is different, so there's no fixed price list. But here's the general landscape:

  • •Entry-level products (utilities, small tools): $5K - $25K
  • •Mid-range (SaaS, directories, devtools): $25K - $100K
  • •Established (proven revenue, large audiences): $100K - $250K+

Pricing depends on revenue, users, growth trajectory, and strategic value. Let's talk about what fits your budget.

Don't See the Right Fit?

Have a specific idea you want built? I selectively take on custom MVP builds for the right partnerships.

This isn't dev-shop-for-hire. It's: you have a vision, I have the skills, we build something together with shared ownership or a clear path to your full ownership.
