Why I named it iKilonova

TL;DR: An AI Champion sits with your team, picks the first bets worth making, and gets real products shipping. We’re in a rare window where building beats waiting, and this is the work I do hands-on.

Kilonova

When two neutron stars finally collide, the universe does something it can pull off almost nowhere else. It forges gold, platinum, and the heaviest, rarest elements in existence. Astronomers call that event a kilonova. It doesn’t happen often, and what it leaves behind is extraordinary.

That’s the idea I named this practice after, and it’s how I think about the role of an AI Champion. Rare conditions. The right elements meeting at the right moment. That’s how lasting value gets created.

Why the lowercase “i”

The lowercase “i” is deliberate. This is personal, hands-on work. Not a faceless firm, not a logo on a deck. You’re working with me directly.

We’re living through a kilonova in technology

AI is accelerating faster every day. The opportunity, and the richness it will create for people and for businesses, is almost unimaginable.

So here’s the instinct I keep seeing: teams wait. They quietly hope it passes. I think that’s exactly backwards. The teams that win won’t be the ones who ran from AI. They’ll be the ones who embraced it early and shaped what actually got built.

What an AI Champion actually does

I sit with your team and cut through the noise. We pick the first bets worth making, then get them shipping. Not theory. Working products.

Alongside that, I advise on the hard calls, and I invest in early-stage founders around Toronto.
