A clear plan for the first version.
Work through who it is for, what they need to do, and what belongs in the first release. The strategy sprint gives the build a defined scope.
Your product and technical partner
Build it. Launch it. Keep making it better.

Work out what to build first.
The paid strategy sprint defines the customer, the problem, and a useful first release. We agree what belongs in the build before development starts.

- 02
Build it and get it into customers’ hands.

Support and continued development
What you get help with
The product work, from the first decision onward.
Design and development, handled.
See how the product will work, review the design, and give feedback on working software. We manage the technical work behind it.
A product ready for its first customers.
Get signup, onboarding, and payments ready where the product needs them. We help you prepare the waitlist and invite people from your network.
Help for the people using it.
Customer questions become onboarding improvements, useful fixes, and a clearer picture of where people get stuck. Support coverage is agreed together.
A roadmap shaped by real use.
Learn what customers value, decide what deserves attention, and keep shipping agreed improvements. Your knowledge stays part of those decisions.
Technical care beyond launch.
Keep the software maintained as the product changes. We agree on the hosting, monitoring, security, and operating responsibilities before release.

With Karen WebberForensic accounting
Karen Webber brought the forensic accounting knowledge. Chase built the core platform alongside design partner Matt Olpinski, then stayed involved as the product grew.
In 2023, The Bonadio Group acquired Webber CPA, bringing FraudFindr into its software portfolio. The engineering relationship continued.

Before we build together
Clear expectations from the start.
How do I get started?
Complete the application with details about your business, the problem, and what you wish existed. Chase reviews it and emails you about the fit. If it makes sense to work together, he’ll invite you to a call and send a free first-look prototype before you meet.
Do I need a finished idea?
No. Start with a problem you know well or something you wish existed. Describe it in your application. If the partnership is a fit, you’ll see a free first-look prototype before your call.
Will you help us get our first users?
You get help preparing a useful customer test, including signup, onboarding, and product improvements. You bring access to potential customers and lead sales and customer relationships. Marketing campaigns and acquisition services are agreed separately.
When do I start paying?
The strategy sprint is paid before the build. The initial build is included in the partnership. Monthly service starts when the agreed product launches; it does not depend on your first sale.
What does the monthly fee cover?
Your fee covers the product and technical work agreed for the partnership, including continued development, maintenance, customer support, and priorities for future releases. You know the scope and support arrangements before starting.
Do I own the software?
Yes. The product is built for you to own, with access to the custom code, data, and project accounts. Third-party tools keep their own licenses. Your fee pays for continued product work and support. Your custom software isn’t tied to renting a TheShop platform.
What do you need from me?
Your industry knowledge, business decisions, feedback, and relationships with potential customers. We handle product delivery and operations. You remain the business owner and lead customer relationships and sales.
How quickly can we launch?
We focus the first version on a useful customer problem and agree on a target launch date before starting. The work involved and your feedback determine the timeline.
Are hosting and other costs included?
We identify hosting, AI, email, payment-processing, and other service costs before you commit, including anything needed before launch. The project agreement makes clear what is covered and what is billed separately.
Start with what you know
Have a problem worth building for?
Bring the problem you know and the people it could help. Let’s explore whether we should build together.
