Spotted Places
A social platform startup — from idea to licensed technology.
Licensed technology still powering startups today
Co-founded Spotted Places, a location-based social platform. Led everything from product strategy and hands-on React Native development to business operations and licensing. The proprietary platform technology is still in use by startups today.
How it works
Spotted Places was a full founder experience — zero to one, with all the chaos that entails. Built the core product in React Native, defined the platform architecture, handled licensing negotiations, and kept the lights on. The experience of being in the code, running the business, and doing product all at once shapes how I approach consulting today: I know what it feels like to own a problem end-to-end.
