Artificial intelligence has collapsed the cost of building software and connected hardware. A portfolio that once required large teams and millions in funding can now be built by a small operation with agents and hard-won domain knowledge.
But AI hasn't solved distribution. Getting real people to test, adopt, review, refer, and trust a new product — that's still a human problem. And it's now the bottleneck.
RodentRadar, WiSpyAlert, and Medication Diary all run on the same dual-ESP32 hardware foundation. A firmware improvement for one product often benefits all three.
DuoCore sensors collect physical-world data that AI can analyze — motion patterns, device proximity, environmental signals. The hardware creates data moats that software alone can't replicate.
Devices update remotely with new firmware, tested and versioned through the build pipeline. Continuous improvement without truck rolls or customer hassle.
Projects that once required large teams and hundreds of thousands in development cost are now built with AI agents, domain expertise, and relentless iteration. The savings are real and measurable.
A portion of the equity that would have gone to a larger dev team is allocated to a distribution pool — reserved for the early adopters who help these products find traction in the real world.
Test the product. Leave a review. Make an introduction. Refer a customer. Give honest feedback. Every contribution that helps a project gain traction earns equity across the portfolio.
Know a pest control operator? We're building a partner network of 10 U.S. exterminators by April. Each gets a protected territory and wholesale kit pricing.
People willing to install a device and give feedback on detection accuracy, alert timing, and the calibration experience.
Parents with kids ages 2–5 who'll try the app, share feedback on the learning flow, and leave an honest review.
Music venues, barbers, mechanics, or any business with a wait list that wants to pilot queue-based booking with deposits.
Anyone facing an estate sale, downsizing, or major clean-out who'd try the platform instead of hiring a 30–40% commission agent.
People strong at business development, pilot design, outbound testing, and translating builder-made products into repeatable sales motions.
The work behind this portfolio started long before any of these products existed. Over thirty-five years of building software, running operations, and solving real problems — including a long stretch in educational technology and years hosting roughly 25,000 short-term rental guests in Buffalo — created the instincts and infrastructure behind what you see here.
These projects exist because the problems are real, Buffalo is where the work gets done, and the only thing that's changed is the tools are faster now.
The 36in36 domain was registered in 2013. The makerspace at 469 Franklin Street has been the workshop for hardware prototyping, firmware testing, and too many late nights with ESP32 boards. The initial projects were developed quietly over years before AI made it possible to accelerate the rest of the portfolio to where it stands today.
Pick a project that interests you, try it, share it, or make an introduction. Early adopters earn equity across the portfolio — not just the project they help.
