clevrstart · About

Luke Sidney — software, websites and AI agents, built by a software engineer who runs his own business on the system he sells.

Based in Montreal. Builds for consultants who keep their own clients, and separately builds and distributes software directly. One person answers for your project, from the first evaluation to delivery.

Story

The short version.

Five years of full-stack development, four of them building with AI, three of SEO. Montreal, always: born and raised. Work in French and English.

clevrstart runs on the system it sells. My agents handle the daily automation, the code ships through a human-in-the-loop coding harness, where the AI writes and I review and approve before anything lands, and the content on my domains goes out from it every day. Three years selling solutions to businesses; before that, project manager on my own products and consultant for another company.

What I sell is code at scale, or code that helps a business scale.

Done, not claimed.

  • SEO plans run end to end that lifted domain authority and put pages on the first page for trending terms and for low-competition, high-volume keywords.
  • A working fitness ticket checkout system delivered in under three weeks, still running in production without an incident.

The first call.

You describe the challenges at your business. I walk you through a short deck on how clevrstart scopes, delivers, quotes and invoices, and the contract terms, then answer your questions. We scope the project and agree on the partnership. After the call you receive a quote; once you accept it, the deposit invoice goes out.

Not taken on.

Black-hat SEO. AI abuse or unethical use of AI. NSFW apps and websites.

Evaluation first, then a fixed price.

A brief, a call recording, or a half-formed idea is enough to start. Feasibility and complexity get assessed before a number is quoted — if a project can't be built as described, that surfaces first, not after work has started. That assessment, the quote it produces, and the follow-ups in between are free; billing begins only once you accept the quote.

Experience

  1. E1

    Runs the build system he sells

    clevrstart's own intake, estimation, quoting and delivery pipeline runs on the agentic operating system, the same AI-assisted system used to build client work. It is not a pitch deck — every commission on the landing page's catalogue went through it.

  2. E2

    Evaluation before a number

    Every engagement starts with a feasibility and complexity pass before anything is quoted. That order does not change for a returning consultant or a first call.

  3. E3

    Ships and operates, not just builds

    Bookings — the booking product this call is scheduled through — is a system built and run on the same foundation, not a demo.

Goals

  • G1

    A network of consultants

    The current priority is building a healthy roster of consultants who bring their own clients and resell the work. That comes ahead of selling software to businesses directly.

  • G2

    Direct business, stated not funnelled

    clevrstart also builds and distributes its own software for entrepreneurs, small businesses and consumers. That is a real part of the business, described honestly, without a parallel sales funnel competing for the same page.

Bring the project you cannot build yourself.

Thirty minutes. Scope, feasibility, complexity — then a number. The call and the number are free; you owe nothing until you accept one.
