Where the tech actually helps

Founders recognize founders — SideGuy is also a from-zero independent build — no VC, no playbook, just shipping. The founder lane is small in this town; we should know each other's work.
The detour IS the drive — naming a company Drives & Detours says you already know the best routes aren't the planned ones. Same energy as this page showing up unannounced.

Paul, you founded Drives & Detours — building your own thing from zero, which is the rarest move there is and the one every other career quietly wishes it made. I made you this page because I could, not because I want anything. It's yours to keep.
