    The Answer To The $120+/ Month Small Business Subscription Problem

    AI is changing SaaS for SMBs – Empowering Ownership of Software vs Subscription Models

    Let me paint you a picture: You’re running a 1-2 person service business. By the time you’ve patched together scheduling (Calendly – $12/mo), CRM (HubSpot – $20/mo), invoicing (QuickBooks – $30/mo), client communication (another tool), file sharing (another tool), and a website with forms (another tool), you’re hemorrhaging $120+ monthly. Worse, your data lives in six different silos, and you’re the poor soul manually copying information between them.

    This was my reality working alongside my dad in small business contracting. We tried Housecall Pro. We tried the “all-in-one” solutions. They all fell short because they weren’t built by people who actually lived the problem. They did not provide an end to end customer lifecycle solution.

    So I built CLIENTBRIDGE, starting about 6 months ago.

  • AI Is Transforming Programming: Platforming Doesn’t Take Years Anymore

    Platforming is the act of building a digital foundation that supports business operations — from user authentication to billing, scheduling, internal tools, customer portals, and beyond. What used to require massive teams and long timelines can now be spun up by small, focused crews with the right stack and mindset.

    With powerful frameworks to develop web APIs, thousands of external APIs like Stripe, cheap infrastructure from nearly any cloud provider, and open source efforts that have templatized and componentized everything — plus AI guiding your path — it’s now possible to platform an entire Fortune 500-style organization in weeks, even days. All it takes is the right people in the right, ripe environment to execute fast.
