Stanley HoFounder in stealth

hi! I'm a serial employee #1 with multiple pre-seed → Series A scale-ups and an acquisition under my belt. Early product, operations, and talent are my bread and butter.

Currently founder in stealth, and building at Apolyon Studios in my spare time. I care about climate, social good, and building things that help people.

VitalizeFounding Operations · Employee #5 $31M Series A

Healthtech

I joined Vitalize at barebones MVP + one customer; I helped complete our v1 product and then led end-to-end enterprise healthtech deployments at our 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th, and 9th customers. Was directly responsible for generating 7-figures in live ARR in under a year, landing us a $31M Series A.

SamaritanStrategic Outcomes Lead · Employee #9 Series A

Social care

At Samaritan, I saved 6 figures in salaries by automating 75% of new customer success workflows; I then raised 6-figures in charitable fundraising from foundations + HNWIs to support our users. My work extended our runway just long enough to close a private Series A and scale our team to 30+ FTEs.

Atmos.aiFounding Product · Employee #1 Acquired ×2

Climatetech

I joined Atmos at zero; no product, no team, fundraising incomplete. I built the deck that got us a $2M seed round, defined our ICP and made our first sale, then built + defined our v1 product for said ICP. We were acquired by WAP Sustainability ($21M ARR), then by SLR Consulting ($600M ARR).

Design

At work, I help design and build features with Claude Code where feasible, to reduce the burden on my technical team. At home, I do one-off designs for fun and run a friends-and-family clothing brand at cost.
