Paos · design-partner program
The product, with the founder beside you.
Controlthrive Studios stands up Paos on one live raise — a deck, a sentence, or a book if you have one — then works with your team through names on that mandate, the pipeline, and a client-ready report.
Paid design partnership · limited cohort · founder support included
See Paos on a live raise.
We set up a live workspace from your mandate. Find names, move the pipeline, and evaluate reporting on real work — not a demo dataset. Bring a book only if it changes the next action.
- 01
Start from the raise
Bring a deck, a teaser, or a sentence. Paos makes that mandate the working object.
- 02
Rank the book against it
Your existing network goes first: who fits this raise, who is warm, who said never. Relationship history becomes the call order.
- 03
Search beyond the book
When the known names run out, Paos searches the market for investors that fit. Every name carries a source — and it works even with no book at all.
- 04
Stay close to the outcome
Direct founder support covers the first operating run: names on the raise, the pipeline as the scoreboard, and a client-ready report when there is something to report.
One system, brought into the workflow you already run.
Paos sits beside the CRM and broker-dealer you already run. Direct founder support covers the first operating run on a live raise, while your team keeps final judgment over every investor-facing decision. Your book does the early work; the search extends it.
- You are a principal at a boutique placement or capital-advisory firm.
- You are paid when capital closes — on funds, single deals, or SPVs.
- You have a live or upcoming raise — a deck, a teaser, or even a sentence.
- You have a book — Paos ranks it against the raise before anything else. No CRM migration required.
- Paos remains the product; this is not a separate custom software project.
- Nothing investor-facing sends without a person making the final decision.
- The relationship history remains with the firm and stays exportable.
“Servando is unusually strong at operating in ambiguity. He can take raw, unfiltered business context, understand the underlying need, and move into execution fast without needing a lot of process, templates, or back-and-forth clarification. What makes him especially valuable is that he combines high agency, real business understanding, and strong AI engineering capability. He quickly grasped the complexity of MVV's business and delivered not only software that addressed it, but also a true 1:1 partnership and technical guidance across every stage of development.”
