Why Jasen would make a good co-founder

I'm a serial SaaS entrepreneur who simply loves building things—whether it's applications or companies that deliver real-world value to businesses and their customers. With a technical foundation that dates back to writing 8086 assembly code, I consider myself a full-stack business leader who thrives on taking products from initial concept to successful exit.

Since founding two successful SaaS companies that both reached exit, I've learned what actually matters versus what just sounds good in a pitch deck. First was Velaro, Inc., a pioneering live chat platform that I co-founded and bootstrapped to multi-million dollar revenue. Most recently, I founded StatusCast, a corporate status page application that I sold to Xurrent. I've worn every hat necessary to scale SaaS businesses—from writing the original code to developing go-to-market strategies, managing finances, leading sales, and delivering exceptional customer service. My success has come from having great co-founders who balanced my skillsets, and I'm ready to build that kind of partnership again.

Elevator pitch for startup:

I'm seeking dedicated marketing partners for multiple distinct SaaS products—not contractors or employees, but true business partners. You get 20% equity ownership vesting over 4 years, plus 40% of net revenue you generate from marketing activities. I handle product development, operations, finance, and support while you focus entirely on driving growth through strategic marketing.

The product portfolio solves real operational problems I lived through while scaling my own companies. SEO GPA transforms complex keyword tracking into simple letter grades that prove SEO ROI. Consents provides the lightweight compliance layer that captures and tracks user agreement acceptance with an immutable audit trail. Boast Image delivers dead-simple image and PDF markup without the bloat of overpriced competitors. Subscrio becomes the entitlement layer between billing platforms and application code. DotNetNews curates the .NET ecosystem for 2,000+ engaged developer subscribers. Each represents a direct response to frustrations where existing solutions were either overcomplicated, overpriced, or simply missing the mark entirely.
