TAMPA AND ORLANDO, FLORIDA

I notice the small problems,
then I go build the fix.

Two decades in enterprise software taught me what has to be assembled for an idea to become something real that people pay for. AI closed the last gap. Now the distance between noticing a problem and shipping a product is measured in days.

WHAT I BUILD

The idea factory.

Every one of these started the same way: I ran into a problem, could not find an honest product that solved it, and built it. Four are the main products, running in production with real customers. The rest are smaller, personal, or still in the shop.

HOLDING COMPANY
Haygood Ideas, Inc.

The company everything else runs under. One operator, one factory floor, four live products and a growing bench of smaller ones.

Not a holding company that just owns paper. I build inside it.

  • Founded and run by one operator
  • Four live products, six more on the bench

HOW I WORK

What I am actually good at is noticing.

I have been writing down my ideas since I was eleven years old. Over the years I watched a good number of them come to market, built by somebody else. I took that to mean what it obviously meant: the ideas were sound. I simply did not have the means to act on them.

I go through an ordinary day and register the small frictions most people have trained themselves to ignore, and I can turn one of those into a product idea almost immediately. Two decades in enterprise software taught me the rest: what genuinely has to be assembled for an idea to become a real thing that real people pay for.

Artificial intelligence closed the last gap. Everywhere my own understanding ran out, it filled in. The bottleneck was never the ideas or the judgement. It was the ability and the means to bring them to life. That strain is gone.

So I build the whole thing now. The product, the voice agent that answers the phone, the directory it lists in, the billing, the site you are reading. I would rather ship something small that works than describe something large that does not.

BEFORE THIS

Twenty years of enterprise software.

Most recently in partner sales for a conversational AI platform, where I spent my days showing large companies what an AI agent could actually do in production. That work, and the videos I made explaining it, is collected on its own page.
