Models and screeners that help you evaluate and acquire businesses: the same kind of tooling Caprae uses to find and buy companies.
A deal screener scores targets against your buy box. A valuation model stays live, so you reuse it across every target. A portfolio dashboard gives you one view across the companies you already own.

You hand it over.
We run it end to end.
A founder takes the CTO/CEO seat on your product. You get a weekly check-in, not a second job.
Call
Thirty minutes with a founder. What you want to build, and what's in the way.
Scope
We turn it into features with an hour estimate for each, at your domain's hourly rate. You pick what's in.
Build
A founder runs your product like its CTO. Engineers ship every week. You get one check-in a week.
Launch & sell
We decide what goes on top, how each feature is presented, and what's worth building next.
You pick the features.
You see the hours.
No random quote. We scope your product into features, each with an hour estimate, at a fixed hourly rate for your domain. Change direction and the hours change with it.

Before you book.
Do I need to be technical?
No. Most of the owners we work with aren't. Tell us the problem in plain words and a founder turns it into the product.
How do you price a deal tool?
In hours. We list the features, estimate the hours for each, and show your domain's hourly rate upfront. You choose what's in.
Who owns the code?
You own what you pay for. The details are in the agreement. confirm with Kevin
Is my data safe?
We build on established platforms with login and access controls, and scope any compliance needs on the first call. confirm wording
