Who you're dealing with · honest read

Steve Stott. Founder + sole engineer.

Important context for prospects and investors evaluating BizBot: you're dealing with one person, not a 30-person team with a sales function. That's deliberate, for now. This page is the honest read on who built every line of code on every BizBot vertical, why I'm working alone, and what that means for you.

The short version.

I'm the founder + sole engineer of BizBot Technology LLC. I shipped 15 vertical AI products — SiteLine, AgentEdge, CaseFile, VitalCoach, BrightChair, DealDesk, GearShift, Keyring, Playbook, Radiance, WattWorks, YesChef, Horizon Talent, CutRoom, TierUp — over the last 8 months. They run on the shared customer brain (Orbit) you've been reading about. I read every email to hello@bizbottech.com personally, and reply within one business day, almost always faster.

Why one person, on purpose.

The conventional wisdom is: hire fast, raise money, scale the team. I didn't, for two reasons.

First, the architecture wasn't worth scaling until it worked. Hiring a sales team to sell a product you're not sure converts is how you waste 2 years of investor money. I wanted to ship 15 verticals on shared infrastructure to test whether the "one brain architecture, many vertical products" thesis held up before I asked anyone to sell it. It does — the marginal cost of vertical 15 is now ~2 weeks of engineer-time, and each tenant's brain runs identically with their data fully isolated. That's the architecture validation.

Second, the founder writing the code is unusually high-leverage right now. Anthropic's Claude has gotten dramatically better at coding in the last 12 months. A solo founder using Claude 4.7 ships in a week what a 5-person team shipped in a quarter two years ago. I'm not trying to romanticize the solo founder thing — I will hire when the workload genuinely outpaces what one person can do. Today, it doesn't.

"Hire fast, raise money, scale the team" is a strategy. "Ship 14 things first to prove the architecture, then scale" is a different strategy. I picked the second one.

Why I believe the shared brain is the moat.

Before BizBot, I spent years watching small businesses (mostly trades + service) get stuck on the same problem: they had 4 different vendors handling 4 different customer touchpoints. The phone agent vendor didn't know about the SMS thread. The review-management vendor didn't know about the appointments. Every interaction started from scratch because each tool only saw its own slice.

The shift I bet on: AI got good enough to act on a customer record, not just display it. That meant the company that built one customer record + multiple AI modules that read and write to it would be structurally advantaged over the company that built one great voice agent with no record underneath. The moat thesis lays this out in 9 minutes — but the short version is: voice agents are commoditized and the connective tissue between modules isn't.

I built BizBot to test that. Now I'm watching it work.
