Strategy that ships
I help companies identify high-impact AI opportunities—then I build them. Working software, not slide decks. One senior builder. Fixed monthly price.
How it works
Choose a plan and you'll be onboarded to your own project board within an hour. No kickoff meetings. No procurement cycle.
Submit requests through your board—written briefs, Loom videos, docs. One active request at a time, unlimited queue.
Get working software—not mockups, not decks. Average 1–2 week cycles. Revisions until you're satisfied.
What you get
Most consultants advise. Most devs build what they're told. You get both—problem identification through shipped product—with zero handoff.
No hourly billing. No SOW negotiations. No surprise invoices. Same price every month.
AI-assisted development means 1–2 week cycles, not 3-month projects. You'll see working software quickly.
No standing meetings. No status calls. All communication on your project board. Your time stays protected.
Only need a few weeks of work? Pause your subscription and come back when you're ready. Unused days carry forward.
Every line of code, every design, every asset—100% owned by you. Full source code delivered. No vendor lock-in.
What I build
AI-powered workflow automation, data tooling, and internal products that your team actually uses. Not a recommendation to go build it yourself.
Fractional CPO + builder. Strategy, roadmap, and a shipped first version. Product direction and hands-on engineering from the same person.
Pricing
Pause or cancel anytime. No contracts. No exit fees.
Strategy + hands-on build
Expanded capacity + strategy call
Audit + enablement + prototype

About
I'm Drew. I spent 12 years in product management—most of that building a real estate tech company from early stage to $500M+ valuation. Before that, I built fintech products: real-time account opening, FICO integrations that drove $3M in recurring revenue.
I've always been the PM who codes. The one who'd rather build a working prototype than debate a spec doc. Minerva Forge is that instinct turned into a business.
I build with modern AI tools, which means I ship in weeks what used to take months. You get senior product strategy and hands-on engineering from the same person—no handoff, no lost context, no bloated team.
