Work with us.
Paper St builds the systems businesses run on, with AI at the core, in the client's name. We are small and we build fast. We care what you have built, not your resume. Start on something real, and we work out the structure from there.
1
Start the conversation
Send the form below. Show us a thing you built and a business you would build a machine for.
2
Talk
A short call. You meet us, we meet you, we scope a real piece of work.
3
Trial build
A paid trial build on a live engagement. That is the interview. You ship something real and we both see how it goes.
4
Then hire
If it works, we make it ongoing. Comp is a conversation, based on what you ship and what you bring. Remote-first.
AI-native builder / operator Trial build
You take a real business and build its machine with Claude Code: the site, the lead capture, the fast follow-up, the automations, the closed loop. You ship a rough version this week instead of planning a perfect one for a quarter.
Good fit ifYou already use AI to do the work of a team, you can wire tools together, and you have shipped something a stranger has used.
Growth / deal origination Trial build
You find businesses that need a machine and open the conversation. Comfortable in the field, on the phone, and in the room. You bring the deal; we build the machine and you share in what it makes.
Good fit ifYou have sold or originated before, you are not afraid of a cold room, and you can tell in one call whether a business is worth building for.
Niche operator Trial build
You run one niche brand end to end, like OwnTheBid for contractors, own its machine, and grow its data loop. Part operator, part founder, on our money and our stack.
Good fit ifYou have run or grown a business, you know a niche cold, and you want to own the thing you build instead of just advising it.
How it is structured depends on the lane and the deal: a paid engagement, a share of what it makes, or a mix. We work that out together.
What we look for, whichever way you come in- You ship. A rough machine that runs beats a perfect plan that does not.
- You are honest about numbers. Real math or marked uncertain. No fake anchors, no invented results.
- You want to own it. You would rather build a thing that keeps running than bill for your hours.
