- Freelancer was approached by a founder of a funded startup with a $500K pre-seed round.
- The startup claimed to have traction, early customers, and an MVP needing cleanup and scaling.
- The founder was charismatic but lacked a CTO or technical cofounder.
- The team consisted of the founder and two generalists handling ops and growth.
- The MVP was built in less than two weeks using ChatGPT prompts and deployed on Replit.
- Despite the unconventional approach, the MVP worked well.
