Jozef Antony Consulting

✔️ I’ve built software development teams from scratch for 10+ companies worldwide
✔️ 3 of my clients’ companies were later acquired by 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮, 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗼𝗳𝘁, and 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗸.
✔️ 25+ years of experience in the software development space

Here is a sample breakdown of two projects we have handled:

1:

The client is in the life science industry. We built a software development team from scratch. The software solution helped the company to run and document clinical trials. We acted as an outsourcing partner.

The company was later acquired by Medidata. And later, Medidata was acquired by Dassault Systeme. The team continued to operate and grow to 15-17 developers, testers, DevOps engineers. This partnership lasted for 6 years.

2:

Built a development outsourced team to work on one of the first file-sharing and collaboration platforms in 2005 (like Dropbox or Google Drive). The solution was focused on enterprise customers. They used it for file sharing and backup. It was scaled to 170.000 paying customers. The company was later sold to Autotask and later to Datto.

As an outsourcing partner, we scaled the team to 15-20 developers and testers. Responsible for the application development, testing, hiring developers, and managing day-to-day operations of the development team. We constantly communicate with partners in Denmark and the US. This partnership is still ongoing since its inception in 2005.

👉 4 Main Reasons Why Companies Can’t Build Market-Leading Products:

(𝗜) 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁-𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗱: Discovering that you cannot deliver fast enough. Communication friction, misunderstandings, and challenges between engineering, product, and business slow everything down.

(𝗜𝗜) 𝗜𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲: Encountering invisible barriers that hinder your business growth, whether they are technological limitations, inefficient processes, or gaps in team expertise.

(𝗜𝗜𝗜) 𝗢𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆: Revamping your technology or product features to stay relevant may require significant resources and time. Focusing on business value helps you navigate these issues easier and faster.

(𝗜𝗩) 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗼𝘄𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲: The alarming possibility that product failures impact not just your customers' operations but also your hard-earned reputation.

Addressing these challenges requires more than just hard work and determination. 

As a Fractional CTO and Product Growth Partner - I help companies to:

✅ Focus on company objectives and align your teams with your big goals - building the wrong thing fast doesn’t bring any value. Focusing on business value constantly is the priority.

✅ Accelerate delivery without compromising quality - the common myth is that this cannot be accomplished; the opposite is true.

✅ Honest communication, even if (especially if) the news is not good. The dynamic business environment needs constant adjustment. Keeping the communication flow open ensures the project focuses on the business value.

✅ Establish a practical timeline through effective project management - mismanagement is a primary cause of software project failures. Keeping all parties in sync, especially key stakeholders, is crucial.

The best thing I did this month..
traveled without any plans.
Just tickets.
No itinerary.

Letting things unfold on their own.
And honestly, the more I kept my mind open,
the more beautiful the journey became.

No expectations.
Just surprises.

It reminded me a lot of life (and startups too) —
you don’t always need to have it all figured out.

Just take the next step that feels right.
Sometimes the best plans are the ones you never make.

📍This was during the biggest festival in Thailand — Loy Krathong.
 A celebration of letting go, gratitude, and new beginnings.

Rohan Girdhani (The TechDoc)

The Product Builder Behind 30+ Bold Startups | 82% Success Rate | I Build. You Launch. We Scale. | I’m the guy founders call when they’re done playing safe.

Gemini 3 just scored 37.5% on the Humanity’s Last Exam benchmark.
A test designed to push AI beyond memory and pattern recognition
over 2500–3000 complex, reasoning-heavy questions.

For context:
- Claude: 13.7%
- GPT-5.1: 26.5%

And on top of that, they dropped an antigravity coding tool
build apps, games, logic… in minutes.

So what does this mean for you?
AI is now competing with entire product teams and agencies.

And this is the moment where the gap between founders widens.

Founders who win from here will be the ones who:
- Use AI daily to accelerate their own learning
- Solve deeper vertical problems with compound reasoning
- Run agentic training sessions for their team
- Prototype faster than competitors can meet

I tried the new tool.
In 10 minutes, I built an entire functional game 
— with assets, logic, and sound.

No overthinking.
No waiting for a team.
No “we’ll build this next sprint.”

This is no longer about writing code.

It’s about:
- Picking the right problems
- Designing better solutions
- Understanding business leverage
- And reading customer psychology better than anyone else

If you’re deeply technical, this might be the best gift of 2025.

You don’t just code anymore.
You orchestrate the entire band.

Some things you just can’t vibe-code.

– Hitting a million req/sec without blowing up
– Making infra cheaper and faster

Anything beyond AI’s surface vision
still needs scars, judgment, and experience.

If you're stuck because “I need a CTO,”
I promise — that’s not the real blocker.

You’re caught in a time loop founders lived in years ago.
Today, starting fast is way simpler.

You don’t need a full-time CTO to begin.

You only need:
1. A real, painful problem in your domain
2. A clear idea of the solution — even if it’s just scribbles

Step 1 — Turn those rough notes into product requirements with AI
Step 2 — Build your first prototype using Lovable
Step 3 — Find a beautiful UI online, screenshot it
Step 4 — Upload it to Lovable to upgrade your UX

Then send it around.
Get reactions.
Collect feedback.
See who’d actually pay.

Only then look for a tech partner
to build something reliable and scalable.

You don’t have a CTO problem.
You have a momentum problem.
And momentum is your job to start.

P.S. My happiest moments are usually somewhere near water. 
This one definitely earned a spot.

Your startup becomes a real AI startup
when customers never think about the process.

No steps.
No friction.
Just outcomes.

One problem.
One system.
Only results.

One thing I’m really loving about this new era.
Founders aren’t coming with napkin ideas anymore.
They’re coming with small, working apps they built themselves.

Before LLMs, people had the passion,
but they were stuck waiting for someone else to help them start.
Now?

They don’t wait.
They try.
They learn.
They see what the market actually wants.

And when things click, they go all in with confidence.

I love this shift.
Because helping someone go from 40 to 100
is so much faster and more meaningful
than trying to push something from 0.

When a founder already has movement, even a small one,
everything becomes easier.
Clearer.
More exciting.

This new era belongs to people 
who take the first step on their own
even a small one.

Those small steps turn into real momentum.
And that momentum changes everything.

Every time I diagnose a startup’s tech…
90% of the time, the activation and retention systems are missing.
And this matters now more than ever.

Because building has never been easier.

The first instinct of most founders today is to:
- Spin up a site using AI
- Ask AI for insights
- Validate the idea inside their own bubble

And it feels like progress.

But a working product doesn’t guarantee customers.
And it definitely doesn’t guarantee revenue.

For the last 4 years, I’ve been driving home the same truth:
Retention and activation beat marketing.
They are the REAL ROI engine.

Every startup product I design starts here.
Because if users don’t activate…
…they can’t retain.
If they don’t retain…
…you can’t grow.
Simple.

And now, with AI making building effortless,
the advantage comes from what others ignore —
activation, habit loops, and retention systems.

I’ve taken the exact systems I use and teach
to founders and engineering teams
and turned them into a self-serve framework.

I’m opening it up for 100 founders to test, use, and help refine.
If you’re a founder and want to improve your activation + retention…
Comment “Interested”
and I’ll share the details.

Stuff you should never hand over to AI.
Or your product might never recover.

Using AI for everything has become the new instinct.

Need a screen designed?
Need a fact?
Need code?
Need a therapist?

Sure.. use AI.

But the real problem starts when you get so dependent
that you forget what happens when AI gets something wrong.
Because in production 
— with real customers 
— one mistake can wipe out months of progress and trust.

There are still things that absolutely need human judgment:
- Database changes & migrations — protect your assets
- Core customer journey design — avoid becoming generic
- Pricing, incentives, and triggers — AI doesn’t feel the stakes
- Security decisions — you can’t outsource risk
- Experience tuning — humans understand emotion, AI doesn’t

AI is incredible.
But it has blind spots.

And if something goes south,
all it can say is:
“I apologize for my mistake…”

The more you understand customer psychology,
the better products you build.

Keep it simple…

A customer doesn’t land on your page by accident.
They clicked an ad for a reason.
What was the motivation?

Did your product give them the reward they expected?
That’s what matters in every interaction.

If you keep solving the motivation
and rewarding the intent…
you win.

My entire career has revolved around:
• Building products for founders
• Teaching these lessons to engineers and teams

And now, those lessons on retention
are finally becoming a product.

If you want to understand:
• Why your customers drop off
• And what you can do to stop it

Limeloop is built exactly for that.
Link in the comments.

The best founders I’ve ever worked with all have one thing in common.
They welcome friction.

They appreciate someone who challenges the roadmap every single time.
They want new insights, stronger angles, blind spots exposed.

And they love people who take action
without waiting for permission.

Great founders don’t protect their ideas.
They pressure-test them.
Again and again.

That’s why they move faster.
And build better.

You want people who take ownership — but can you handle it when they do?
