Hi Michael,
I came across your profile — your background in business development, proposal strategy, contract negotiation, client acquisition, and building revenue from the ground up really caught my attention.
I'm a software engineer in Japan, and I built FaultWright myself: it deliberately breaks software in realistic ways, has an AI try to diagnose and fix the break, then checks whether the fix actually worked. The engineering side is done. What's missing is the commercial side — finding the right customers, leading early conversations, shaping proposals, negotiating opportunities, and turning this into paid AI-training and evaluation work.
Your experience building a sales pipeline from prospecting through discovery, proposals, objection handling, negotiation, and execution seems especially close to the kind of business-side partner I'm looking for.
To start, this would be a flexible, revenue-share collaboration rather than a salaried role. If it goes well and we're aligned, I'd be glad to talk about a longer-term partnership, including a co-founder role.
Happy to walk you through what I've built if you're interested — let me know.
