Status: Accepting Q3 Partners

The compiler
for ambitious ventures.

A venture studio founded by a solo engineer. I don't advise from a deck — I ship the infrastructure, product and engineering systems for the next generation of scale-ups.

Engagement Model

Venture studio, not an agency.

Agencies bill by the hour. I invest in the outcome. I co-own the technical risk — bringing twenty years of startup and scale-up engineering in exchange for equity and a long-term commitment to ship something that lasts.

01 / Foundation
Technical co-founding

I act as your CTO-as-a-service, building the MVP with production-grade rigor from day zero.

02 / Expansion
Operational scale

Zero-to-one becomes one-to-N. I build the infra that handles your first million users without rewrites.

03 / Ownership
Aligned for the long run

Equity or revenue share when we're building for years — same incentives, same timeline.

Hard-coded
capabilities.

Engineering

Distributed systems, type-safe backends, and high-concurrency architecture.

Product

Scoping the non-negotiables. Minimal surface area for maximum impact.

AI & Data

LLM orchestration, vector stores, and deterministic pipeline automation.

Infrastructure

Terraform, edge runtimes, and zero-downtime deployments by default.

I'm Rich Huth — product engineer, entrepreneur, and the operator behind Type-Safe : Studio. I've spent the last two decades shipping software across early-stage startups, Series C scale-ups, and frontier AI tooling.

Type-Safe : Studio is where that experience compounds. A deliberately small surface, run solo, focused on co-building ventures I believe should exist.
