I run my entire company from a terminal window.
Not because I'm technical for the sake of it - because every extra screen, extra click, extra tool between what I want and what happens is friction. And friction compounds.
When I left institutional finance to build things, I noticed the same problem everywhere. A founder wants to know their cash position. That's a 30-second question. But to get the answer, they open a browser, log into their ERP, navigate three menus, export a report, open a spreadsheet, adjust for timing, and then maybe trust the number. That's not a 30-second question. That's a 10-minute ritual with six failure points.
So I built an AI co-founder. It sits in the terminal with me. It has access to everything - the books, the bank data, the contracts, the models, the client context. I tell it what I want in plain language and it handles the backend.
Last week it migrated our entire domain infrastructure across registrars, wired up DNS records, and configured email routing - all through API calls. I didn't open a single admin panel. This week it drafted my LinkedIn profile copy, and right now it's updating the profile from the terminal while I review its work.
This isn't a product demo. This is how I actually work every day. SliceCFO is a lab experiment - what happens when you design a company around minimizing execution friction from day one? Not optimizing an existing workflow. Starting from zero and questioning every click.
The thesis: most operational complexity at growth-stage companies isn't necessary. It's inherited. Tools were adopted one at a time, each solving a narrow problem, and nobody ever stepped back to ask whether the whole stack actually needs to look like this. The answer is usually no.
We build AI infrastructure for growth-stage founders. Finance first, because it's the function that sees everything through dollars. Three months of hands-on build, then the founder runs the system themselves. No SaaS fees. No vendor lock-in. You own it.
If you're a founder running a $5-50M company and your finance stack feels like it's working against you instead of for you - I'd rather have a conversation than send you a deck.
