SOLO FOUNDER · BUILDING THE FIRST TEAM

I've taken this far alone. The next part needs people.

SmartSurf and Senlay are real — working hardware, deployed firmware, a verification engine and a clear market. Now I'm looking for the right team, the right investors, and the right collaborators to ship it properly.
