## What Gold Ranger Does

Gold Ranger Ventures was formerly known as iOSConsultant.com. The studio runs three tracks: advisory for founders, incubation of its own products, and early investments. Advisory engagements are selective. The typical advisory buyer is a founder shipping an AI, crypto, or mobile product who needs an operator's lens on a specific decision. A second track serves the investor side: dealflow diligence for funds, angels, and syndicates.

## Services

### AI

- **AI & Agentic Payments**. x402 micropayments, AP2 payment mandates, KYA (Know Your Agent) identity, and USDC settlement on Base or Solana. For products where agents transact without a human in the loop.
- **AI Evals & Production Readiness**. Eval pipelines that catch regressions before deploy, monitoring for quality drift in production, cost guards that stop runaway loops, and a fallback path when the model API is down.
- **AI Product Strategy**. Choose the wedge competitors can't ship in a quarter, build the evals that prove it, and price like a product instead of a feature.

### Crypto

- **Token Design & Launch**. Tokenomics, supply curves, incentive loops, and post-launch market support.
- **Token Treasury & Liquidity**. Where liquidity lives, who is making markets, and policy that prevents tokens from being dumped by paid operators.
- **Stablecoin Integration**. USDC and USDT acceptance, custody, KYC, accounting, and treasury controls that plug into existing products.
- **Partnerships & GTM**. Partnership-led go-to-market and strategic enterprise deals.

### Mobile

- **App Store Strategy**. Apple App Store policy, review process, and emerging-category constraints (crypto, AI agents).

### Operations

- **Fundraising**. Equity and token rounds, narrative, deck, and data room preparation.
- **Org Design & Hiring**. Senior leadership hiring, organization design, and scaling teams globally.

### Ventures

- **Dealflow Review**. Investor-side diligence on prospective AI, crypto, and mobile companies for funds, angels, and syndicates. Technical architecture, tokenomics stress-tested under real market conditions, App Store and regulatory exposure, team, and wedge, delivered as a clear, opinionated memo.
- **Early Investments**. Selective early-stage checks alongside the advisory practice.
