Eli Rousso
New York City
Over 20 years of design and code. I’ve founded companies, raised capital, and shipped world-class products used by millions. Now I work with founders who value taste and speed.
Interfaces are about to become readable and streamable.
The craft is the easy part. It’s everything else that no one prepares you for.
Time gets more difficult, richer, and longer when you own your decisions.
We start with a short call. If we’re a fit, you’ll have a proposal within 48 hours and a kickoff the following Monday.
Two Weeks
$48k
Ideas are fragile things. I make them durable through prototypes. Two weeks of design as code: a name, a brand, a working prototype. Demos on Fridays.
Book a sprint6–12 Weeks
From $144k
For serious ideas ready for deployment. I design the product, prototype it in code, and work with your engineers to build and iterate into production.
Start a projectOne Session a Month
$16k per Month + Equity
A monthly working session on highest priority items from product, brand, fundraising, to hiring. Async and ad hoc as needed.
Request a slotA Sprint is $48k, fixed, for two weeks: a name, a brand, and a working prototype. Demos on Fridays, and everything is yours at the end.
An agency gives you a team, a process, and handoffs. I give you experience across design, product, and engineering, faster than an agency at world-class quality, delivered in code for your engineering team.
Yes. Sprints deliver working prototypes in code, and Zero to One engagements ship production code alongside your engineers.
Founders, mostly pre-seed through Series B. Also later-stage startups, venture funds, and public companies that need an outside perspective or want to move even faster.
An intro call, a proposal within 48 hours, and a kickoff the following Monday.
Twenty minutes on your idea: where it is, what it needs, and whether I’m the right person for it. No deck, no discovery questionnaire. You leave knowing what I’d do first.
Advisory includes equity on top of cash. Sprints and builds are cash engagements.
Always Mac. I’ve only used Apple computers my entire life.
Mostly the same few songs I’m feeling that month. Usually Aphex Twin’s Xtal on repeat.
