Product · Solo Founder · Builder

I build products that solve real problems, then ship them.

I'm Griffin Terry, the solo founder of Hirely. I work across the whole process, from spotting a problem to scoping the product, building it, and getting it in front of users. This is what I've shipped.

About me

Founder-minded, product-obsessed.

I'm the solo founder of Hirely and a cum laude CU Boulder graduate (B.A. in Political Science & Economics, minor in Business). I build products end-to-end. I architected and shipped Hirely's full-stack MVP on Supabase, Stripe, and Vercel, and I ran its growth across LinkedIn, Instagram, and TikTok.

I gravitate toward the messy middle of product work, where a vague problem has to be turned into something users actually need. That instinct runs through everything here, from validating CoPilot's market with 100+ customer interviews to automating Hirely's distribution with AI agents. What I care about most is honesty in the product, building things that genuinely work for people.

I'm open to roles across my areas of experience.
