Think boldly.
Ship early.
A founder-direct FDE opportunity becomes a study of agency, technical delivery and company creation.

GATEVERIFY FIRST
01 / WHY THIS MATTERS
GitHub shipping created founder attention.
A founder presented himself as discovering Pengyi through GitHub, noticing repeated shipping, and initiating a direct conversation. This is more than a normal application: visible building can generate inbound career and business opportunities.
VISIBLE SHIPPING→FOUNDER OUTREACH→DISCOVERY CALL→SCOPED DELIVERY
02 / EVIDENCE LEDGER
Separate facts, claims and hypotheses.
FDE positioning
The official site describes embedded AI-native pods owning scope through production delivery.
Commercial traction
ARR, client count and Quant-fund references are company-authored claims requiring call diligence.
Actual team size
Two directors do not establish total headcount. A two- or three-person operating team remains a hypothesis.
03 / FORWARD-DEPLOYED ENGINEERING
Ambiguous need in. Running system out.
Discover
Find the real workflow, user, constraint and economic outcome.
Architect
Choose boundaries, integrations, data contracts and evaluation gates.
Ship
Deliver a narrow vertical slice inside the client's real environment.
Operate
Add permissions, tests, monitoring, incident handling and iteration.
FDE is neither a slide-only consultant nor a ticket-only engineer. It combines discovery, system design, implementation, deployment and client communication under one accountable loop.
04 / FOUNDER OPERATING SYSTEM

What inspires us
A small technical founder group creates a clear offer, builds its website, contacts builders and customers, and learns through real conversations.
What decides the business
Customer outcomes, security, repeatable delivery, utilization, retention and reduced founder dependence. Presentation earns attention; operations earn trust.
05 / 20-MINUTE DISCOVERY
A short call. A high-information decision.
Context
Why Pengyi? Employment, contract, partnership or client work?
Delivery
What is owned in 30 days? How are code, evals and incidents reviewed?
Business
How are projects scoped, priced and converted into retained work?
Boundaries
Terms, data access, security, IP and one explicit next action.
06 / PENGYI COMPANY HYPOTHESIS
AI-native R&D Engineering for Quant and Financial Teams.
Workflow audit
Map decisions, evidence, data and failure points.
Vertical slice
Deliver a bounded Agent or Quant prototype.
Production controls
Add tests, permissions, deployment and monitoring.
Evaluation retainer
Maintain, measure and improve the delivered system.
Do not start with an empty company shell. Start with one real user, one bounded offer, one complete delivery and one measured outcome.
