03 Why now

One person plus AI now does what took a team.

Andreessen Horowitz: the share of $5M+ and $10M+ solopreneurs began to inflect upwards in 2023 and 2024. Chart of solopreneurs by income threshold, 2019 to 2025.

AI broke hiring.

91%
of hiring teams have spotted or suspected candidate deception (Greenhouse, 2026)
56%
of college students have used AI on assignments or exams (BestColleges, 2025)
Hiring teams lost trust in résumés, credentials, and even interviews.

Everyone's using Claude now. No idea how to interpret this — did they build anything?
ML
We'd have to interview them to find out.
05 motif

Every hire made with a real work sample.

Now: motif separates what the person did from what the AI did.

Vision: become the definitive assessment paradigm of the post-AI era, and connect every learner and job candidate to the perfect job.

The motif sandbox: a recorded macOS desktop wired with Clay, Claude Code, n8n and a CRM.

07 Projections

We only need 300 customers to break even.

In 2026, there will be 270,000 GTM engineer candidates, an addressable market of $270M. In reality, 5–10 candidates per role reach an assessment phase like motif.

10 Why me

You're not betting on one project.

  • You invest in me, not just this project.
  • With AI, I can solo-launch multiple projects, and the learnings and distribution compound.
  • Profitable within a year, with the same $1B+ upside as a VC-backed company.

"There's a betting pool for the first year there's a one-person, billion-dollar company. Unimaginable without AI — and now it will happen."

— Sam Altman, OpenAI
