I am a venture-backed founder and advisor to dozens of startup founders & CEOs. I believe in using the tremendous opportunities I've been given to build technology that can make a real difference in our world.
I have over 20 years of experience building software products and working in the start-up world. I have served as CTO for dozens of startups, helping founders navigate the world of developers, architecture, technology budgets, apps, vendors, platforms, etc, in order to ultimately deliver products right the first time.
I work with numerous startups and companies with tech strategy, launching tech products, and implementing better development processes. Companies I’ve worked with include Golf Forever, Powderkeg, Iris Works, Duett, OAKR, and many more.
As a consultant, I’ve worked with brands like the NFL, NHL, Spike TV. I’ve had my technology featured in Times Square, on The Today Show, and in NFL Training Camp Events.
Most founders are non-technical, yet to bring a tech product to life, you need a technical team. This often leads to a significant knowledge gap that can put your startup at risk.
Without a solid understanding of the software development process, it’s easy for non-technical founders to fall into costly traps. I’ve seen this firsthand: founders end up spending tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars and waste 6 to 18 months due to:
Wellcrafted Founder Academy (WFA) closes this gap. We empower you to transform from a founder to a tech-savvy founder—one who can confidently build a tech company, effectively manage technical teams, and make the most of your resources.
Over the years, I’ve guided dozens of founders to turn their visions into reality. With WFA, you’ll gain the clarity, skills, and confidence to not only build the product you envision but also run your business more efficiently, saving time and money along the way.
Darye brought clarity to our development roadmap, helped us prioritize features, and made hiring the right devs seamless. His strategic guidance saved us so much time and kept us from wasting money on the wrong paths.
