Looking for freelance ops, preferably with early/seed stage startups.
I'm located in Madison, WI, happy to work with remote founders or if you're close enough meet in person.
Have been a 2x founding engineer TrustedFor (YC19) and DigiBuild (YC22) and also cofounded Politech/Promota AI (though I left there in 2024 and they've pivoted from original mission.)  I'm currently building Worldwide Studios (worldwide-studios.org) and we're a bootstrapped non-profit so been doing client work to pay the bills.
At startups I've been a jack of all trades so my background is as an engineer (later "tech lead manager" type) but I've helped with content creation, team building and all of the things.  Not looking for full time ops or to become an employee but I love working with early stage founders and startups and always happy to share my knowledge or just roll up my sleeves and help get over the hill.
