    Ship Your Side Project.For Real This Time.

    You ship products at work every week. Your own thing? Stuck for months. I help you finally launch it — same systems, pointed at your project.

    Whether you need a full build partnership, ongoing strategic partnership, or a system to start on your own — there's a path for where you are right now.

    The Problem

    You've tried everything. Nothing's worked.

    Most of them solve the wrong problem entirely.

    The Course Approach

    All information, no implementation

    You've bought the courses, saved the bookmarks, and watched the tutorials. You know MORE about launching than most people who've actually launched. Information isn't your problem.

    The Mastermind Approach

    All community, no accountability

    You joined the Slack groups and creator communities. Everyone is supportive. Everyone is also not launching. Solidarity isn't the same as a ship date.

    The Productivity Approach

    All systems, no shipping

    You've tried Pomodoro, time-blocking, GTD, and Atomic Habits. You've optimized the process of not shipping. The tool was never what was missing.

    The Willpower Approach

    All motivation, no structure

    You keep telling yourself you'll 'sit down and do it this weekend.' But there's no roadmap, no milestones, no ship date. Willpower isn't the missing piece. A build system is.

    Sound Familiar?

    What you'd say to a friend at a bar

    "I just want to finally launch the damn thing."

    "I want to stop feeling like a fraud who talks about my side project but never ships it."

    "I want to feel as competent about my own thing as I do at work."

    "I want to stop being embarrassed when someone asks 'how's the side project going?'"

    "I want actual momentum. The kind where something ships, not the kind where I bookmark another productivity article."

    "I want to know that if I got laid off tomorrow, I'd have something to land on."

    If any of those hit close — keep reading.

    The 6-Week Build Partnership

    Your side project, live in the world, in 6 weeks.

    6-week sprint• payment plans available

    What's included:

    • Week 1: Build Audit — 90-minute deep dive to map your project, identify blockers, and build your 6-week roadmap with a hard ship date.
    • Weeks 2–6: Weekly build sessions — decisions, unblocking, accountability. Plus async support between sessions.
    • Async support — Slack or Voxer access for gut checks between sessions. You're not building alone anymore.
    • Your custom build system — roadmap, decision frameworks, priority filters, review cadence. Yours to keep forever.
    • Session recordings + action items after every call.

    The Ship Guarantee

    If your project isn't shipped by week 6, we keep going until it is — at no additional cost. I don't win unless you ship.

    Built for people like:

    • The Staff PM who's been outlining a course for 9 months with 40 pages of notes and no launch date.
    • The Senior Engineer whose SaaS is 70% built — but has no landing page, no pricing, no ship date.
    • The Design Leader who's done freelance gigs through word of mouth but has no website, positioning, or pipeline.
    • The Engineering Manager whose open-source project has 2K+ GitHub stars but no monetization strategy.
    • The Director who could charge $300–$500/hr as a fractional CPO but has no consulting infrastructure.

    Your Build Partner

    Hi, I'm Molly.

    I've spent 20+ years building products and leading platform teams at Google, SoftBank, and Fortune 500 companies. I led a database migration that recovered $5M in lost revenue and delivered $2M+ in annual savings. I know how to ship at scale.

    I also built three businesses while holding down a senior product management role. Not by hustling harder or sleeping less — by building the same infrastructure for my side projects that I had at work.

    Now I do that for other people. If you're a senior tech employee with a side project you can't seem to launch, I'm the build partner who helps you stop tinkering and start shipping.
