§ 04

Questions people actually ask.

7 · updated Q2 2026
01What if I just need a quick question answered?
Book the free 15-minute Discovery Call. If the answer is short, I'll just tell you. If it's bigger, we'll scope the right next step together.
02Do you offer equity-only deals?
Occasionally, for ideas I'd personally fund. The bar is high, and I always take a small cash component to align incentives. Mention it in the booking form if you want to explore it.
03What if I'm not happy with the consultation?
Paid sessions are refundable within 48 hours, no questions asked. I'd rather return your money than have someone unhappy walk away.
04Do you work with non-US clients?
Yes. Rates are USD. I'm in US Eastern time but shift for EU mornings or Asia evenings when needed.
05What happens after the call?
For 30/60-min consults, you get follow-up notes within 48 hours — summary, recommendations, action items. For the retainer call, you get a proposal.
06What if my project needs a team, not a solo eng?
I'll either scope it down to a solo-friendly MVP, or help you hire. I've been the only engineer on small teams that later scaled up — I know what good handoff looks like.
07Do you sign NDAs?
Yes, standard mutual NDAs. I won't sign anything that prevents me from saying I worked on something — portfolio is how I get the next client.

Still have questions?
Let's get on a call, free.
