Thirteen years.
Two founder seats.
Still building.

I've spent thirteen years building products and the teams behind them. I founded a company and led it to a successful exit, then helped grow another from seed to Series B.

Now I'm founding again. OARE turns a plain-language goal into AI agents that do the work, and keeps what they learn.

If you own an outcome and want to shape OARE early, or you're looking for an engineering leader, there are two ways in.

OARE, the layer above your agents

Today, building an AI agent means a developer wiring it by hand, one at a time. With OARE, you describe the outcome you want, and it works out which agents are needed, runs them, and keeps what they learn.

Agents are disposable. What they learn is not.
  1. You describe a goal"How healthy is this account before its renewal?"
  2. OARE plans the workIt decides which agents are needed and estimates the cost.
  3. You approveNothing runs until you say yes.
  4. Agents do the workThey report back with a recommendation and its sources.
  5. What they learn is keptThe next similar request can reuse it.

Own an outcome like this? OARE is pre-launch and looking for design partners.
