## What Gold Ranger Does

Gold Ranger Ventures was formerly known as iOSConsultant.com. Fractional executive and advisory across AI, crypto, and mobile. Selective engagements. The first call is complimentary. The typical buyer is a founder shipping an AI, crypto, or mobile product who needs a technical operator embedded part-time or an operator's lens on a specific decision. A second track serves the investor side: dealflow diligence for funds and angels, and board- or investor-appointed interim executive roles.

## 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.
- **Fractional COO/CTO**. Embedded operator/technical leader for one to two days a week, time-boxed. Operating cadence, leadership-team meetings, OKR planning, technical architecture review, and engineering hiring.

### 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.
- **Interim CEO/COO/CTO**. Board- or investor-appointed interim CEO, COO, or CTO placed into a portfolio company through a founder transition, turnaround, or executive gap. Full accountability with an end date, not the part-time Fractional COO/CTO retainer above.
