Early-stage products we've already built.
WeKare
Building the Voice-First Life Management App with WeKare
Tequity took WeKare from discovery to a live consumer voice-to-tasks app on both the App Store and Play Store - including the messy parts most teams trip on: payment infra, Apple's AI disclosure bar, and a clean subscription model.

Muse
Streamlining Med-Spa Operations with Muse
From MVP through V2 audio rearchitecture - Tequity rebuilt Muse's recording stack to upload audio chunks every 10 seconds, enabling rock-solid long-session reliability for live med-spa practices.

Stacked Health
Designing the Proactive Blood Testing Experience for Stacked Health
A focused UI/UX engagement that took Stacked Health from concept through to a complete consumer MVP design alongside a launch-ready marketing website - bias-toward-action design with AI-guided insights as a first-class layer.
1,000+ tests powered through the platform
Stitch (StitchCare)
Reimagining Post-Transplant Care Coordination with Stitch
Tequity has been Stitch's product partner from MVP through a strategic pivot into post-transplant care - building AI-powered care coordination tools that combine modular care plans, voice calling, and care-coordinator oversight of every patient response.
MVP shipped and pivot to post-transplant care delivered without losing velocity
Why We're Doing This
Because early founders need execution.
We've worked with 100+ startups and seen a consistent pattern.
The biggest constraint at the earliest stage isn't ideas or advice. It's execution - building the right thing, at the right time, without burning cash too early.
This grant exists to reduce that friction. To give founders a practical way to move forward with clarity, speed, and support where it matters most.
If you're building something real, we'd like to help.
