For / Not For

What Dave is for

• Building software around real operating workflows.
• AI-native delivery where prototypes, agents, engineers, QA, and business feedback all have a place.
• Practical product judgment: what should exist, what should not, and what can be maintained.
• Cebu and Philippine startup ecosystem growth, especially beyond the usual center of gravity.
• Leaders who want leverage without losing ownership of quality, risk, and customer outcomes.
• Public claims that can be checked against a source trail.

What Dave is not for

• AI theater: prompts, demos, or landing pages pretending to be durable capability.
• Generic digital transformation language without a concrete workflow or owner.
• Treating software builders as interchangeable staff augmentation.
• Hiding weak delivery behind polished positioning.
• Building custom software where a simple off-the-shelf tool would honestly do the job.
• Making claims about experience, outcomes, or trust that cannot be backed by public proof.

Best fit

Dave is a strong fit for founders, operators, agencies, nonprofits, and mid-market teams that have a real process bottleneck and want software or AI to make the work better. He is a weaker fit for teams that only want AI branding, cheap code output, or abstract strategy with no appetite to build, test, and own the result.
