Coconut Studios

A product and execution studio

Coconut Studios works with founders and teams to shape, pressure-test, and build AI-native products.

The studio focuses on high-leverage product decisions and fast, opinionated execution, not long retainers or incremental delivery.

How I work

Coconut Studios is designed for moments where speed, clarity, and judgment matter more than scale.

Most engagements are short, focused, and selective. The goal is to help teams move from uncertainty to something concrete they can test, learn from, and build on.

Coconut Studios works with only a handful of clients at a time to ensure craft, joy, outcome-satisfaction and productivity for all parties involved in this partnership.

Fit check

Before any engagement, we start with a my-services / your-needs fit check.

Duration

book call →

This call is to gauge whether working together makes sense. This is a cultural, vision, vibes, goals, and needs alignment check.

There is no point in moving into scoping if there is no product-market fit between what I offer and what you actually need.

Also, if we are not having fun together, we should not be working together.

Scoping

All engagements go through a paid scoping phase after a successful fit check.

Investment

3.5k USD upfront

Includes

Up to 4 hours

Here we align on what is worth building and what success looks like.

Offerings

MVP Build

For founders who need something real in their hands, quickly.

This is not a scaling engagement. This is an MVP, not an enterprise-ready software or million-users-proof consumer software. This is a speed engagement. What you get is a production-grade, fully deployed prototype ready for design-partner testing, early customer interaction, and iterating quickly.

Who benefits most: non-technical founders, pre-seed or seed-stage founders, and teams that need a concrete product to put in front of users.

MVP Sprint

A tightly scoped push to validate a single idea.
