“It works, but I don't trust it.”
We can trace the important flows, test what the product actually does, identify fragile areas, and separate real risks from scary-looking code that isn't worth touching yet.
Product rescue for stuck founders
Vibe coding help for founders
Lovable, Bolt, Replit, Cursor, v0, Claude, ChatGPT, or another AI tool got you farther than you expected. Great. Now the app mostly works, the code mostly makes sense, and the list of things you're unsure about keeps growing.
That's the part FounderFix is for. I help founders figure out what actually needs fixing, what can stay exactly as it is, and what matters most if the goal is to turn the prototype into a real product.
No shame about how it was built. If it works, it works. We start from what you have.
The post-vibe-coding problem
The bottleneck often changes once the prototype exists. You stop asking “can this be built?” and start asking “is this actually good, safe enough to keep building, understandable, and worth shipping?”
We can trace the important flows, test what the product actually does, identify fragile areas, and separate real risks from scary-looking code that isn't worth touching yet.
AI can make screens quickly. It is less reliable at deciding what the user should see, when they should see it, and what the experience should feel like as a whole.
That is often a scope and product-decision problem, not just a coding problem. We can decide what belongs in the next version and what absolutely does not.
We can review the product from the outside in: core flow, rough edges, failure cases, positioning, onboarding, and the things most likely to matter to a real user.
Not just a code audit
Maybe the bug matters. Maybe the bigger problem is that nobody understands the feature.
Maybe the architecture is ugly. Maybe rewriting it would be a complete waste of time right now.
Maybe you need a developer. Maybe you need to delete four features and ship the fifth.
Maybe the app is technically ready and your landing page is the thing keeping it from making sense.
What I can look at
A live app is great, but it does not need to be polished. A repo, screenshots, prototype, landing page, Loom, error log, or half-working flow can be enough to start finding the real bottleneck.
Core flow, onboarding, confusing screens, missing states, positioning, scope, and whether the thing you're building makes sense as one coherent product.
Broken behavior, edge cases, integrations, AI-generated weirdness, debugging, testing, and hands-on fixes where they make sense.
A prioritized plan, a focused working session, or a bounded sprint to get a specific thing across the finish line instead of endlessly polishing everything.
Vibe coding FAQ
I help with the messy gap between “the AI built something that works” and “this is a product I understand and can confidently keep building.” That can mean product decisions, UX, QA, debugging, scope, positioning, AI workflows, or hands-on implementation.
Yes. The specific tool is secondary. What matters is what exists now and where you're stuck. Send the app, prototype, repo, screenshots, or whatever gives the clearest picture.
Usually not. I would rather understand what is actually broken before recommending a rewrite. Sometimes a targeted fix is enough. Sometimes the code is not the main problem at all.
No. I can flag obvious risks and help with practical QA and implementation issues, but FounderFix is broader product rescue, not a formal security-audit service. If your product needs specialist security review, I will tell you.
That's fine. You do not need to explain the architecture or use the right vocabulary. Show me what you built, what is happening, and what you are trying to get to.
Start with the mess
Tell me where the app is now, what feels wrong, and what you're trying to make happen next. You do not need a polished technical brief.
The simplest place to start is the $149 Unstuck Session.
I review what you send before the call, we spend 60 minutes working through the real problem, and you leave with clear priorities and a short action plan. If it needs hands-on work after that, we can scope a sprint.
