Demo
The founder onboarding flow — role, verification and early-access waitlist.
Problem
Early-stage founders run their company across scattered tools — cold DMs, spreadsheets of investors, three community group chats, and introductions that depend entirely on who they happened to meet. The work that decides whether a startup survives (finding the right builder, reaching the right investor, getting distribution at launch) is the least systematised part of the job. Everyone rebuilds the same broken process from zero.
Why I built it
I spent three years on the founder side of that mess — making introductions, running partnership loops, helping teams fundraise and launch. The same requests came in every week, and I was solving them manually each time with a contact list and a lot of messages. That is a product, not a personality trait.
What I built
A founder operating layer that brings the workflows together: founder and builder profiles that mean something, a searchable directory, investor and advisor introductions, deck and tokenomics support, credentials that reflect real participation, and launch plus distribution support at the point founders actually need it.

Challenges
Network products are worthless when empty and defensible when full, so the sequencing matters more than the feature set. The hard part was resisting the urge to ship a directory before there was anything worth listing — the network had to be real first, and the software had to earn its place by removing work I was otherwise doing by hand.
What I learned
Distribution is a product problem, not a marketing one. The introductions that worked were never the ones with the best copy; they were the ones where both sides had legible proof of what they had actually done. That insight is what became Arc Pass.
