Why Founder Therapy
Major Business Milestones
- Idea validation
- MVP launch
- First revenue
- v2 launch
- Seed round fundraising
Louis chose to work with FT because he needed a firm that would be a true thought-partner as well as an executional partner for product and engineering. He was looking to fill a technical co-founder role, but knew he would need a team that could translate his many years of domain expertise into a digital product that solves real problems. FT was a perfect fit because we could provide the technical leadership he required, and we came with our built-in experienced engineering team. He also valued the fact that we would think deeply with him to validate and vet the problem he was trying to solve, ensuring that we built the right product for the right target market.
