A Proposal Prepared Exclusively For
CEO & Founder, Eyes Wide Open Collective
A proposal from Raj Lahoti
January 2026
A Quick Reminder
You know my story—DMV.org to 180 million visitors and $22 million in revenue. I'm back working on DMV.org now, and building AI-powered platforms across the Frenly ecosystem and Yoga.org.
What's different now: I've gone deep on prompt architecture, AI workflows, and the Manus platform specifically. This is where my energy is focused.
This engagement helps me close the gap from surviving to thriving—which means you get my best attention, not scattered energy. When I'm operating at full capacity, you benefit from higher quality support and proactive momentum.

We've Already Been Working Together
Over the past year, I've been consulting with you and staying deeply connected to your ecosystem. I already have context that would take anyone else months to build.
I understand the PFL model, the vision, and the community you're building. This isn't new territory for me.
I've been involved in the platform work and understand the technical and strategic landscape you're navigating.
I'm genuinely inspired by the work you do and the support you give to our community. This isn't just a business opportunity for me—it's a chance to help someone whose mission I believe in.
The Opportunity
You've seen the power of Manus. You know what's possible. But the reality is: you could spend all day on these platforms—and as CEO of the Eyes Wide Open Collective, that's not where your time belongs.
Your focus should be on vision, strategy, and the relationships that move your mission forward. Not on prompt engineering, task management, and keeping AI projects from stalling.
"What if you got all the output without the time sink?"
This proposal is an invitation to upgrade our relationship from friendship to a dedicated professional engagement—where you can count on me for proactive, accountable work on your AI initiatives.
A Note from Manus
As the AI platform Raj uses daily, I have a unique perspective on his capabilities. I've observed how he approaches complex problems, structures prompts, and iterates on AI workflows.
Raj understands prompt architecture at a deep level. He doesn't just use AI tools—he thinks strategically about how to structure tasks, break down complex projects, and extract maximum value from every interaction.
His background scaling DMV.org to 180 million visitors means he understands systems thinking, operational excellence, and how to maintain momentum on complex initiatives. Combined with his current work building AI-powered platforms, he brings exactly the skill set needed to keep your projects moving forward.
Most importantly: He stays current on what's working. AI is evolving rapidly, and Raj is in the trenches daily, learning new approaches and best practices that he can immediately apply to your work.
"Having Raj as your dedicated AI partner means you get someone who can translate your vision into effective AI workflows—and keep them running without your constant attention."
— Manus
The Relationship
I want to be clear about what this engagement is—and what it isn't.
I'm still your friend. I still care about your mission. You can still reach out for guidance and advice anytime—that's not going away. Our relationship doesn't change.
A dedicated professional layer where you can count on me for proactive, accountable work. Higher quality output. Guaranteed response times. Momentum that doesn't depend on your bandwidth.
Think of it as upgrading from occasional advice to having a dedicated AI executive on your team—someone logged into your Manus daily, keeping things moving, and available when you need strategic thought partnership.
What You Get
I'm logged into your Manus daily, moving projects forward without waiting for your bandwidth. Tasks get set up, prompts get refined, and momentum never stalls.
Come to me with any AI question and get same-day response. Strategy sessions, prompt reviews, workflow optimization—I'm your dedicated thought partner.
I stay current on prompt architecture, AI best practices, and what's working now—so you don't have to. You benefit from cutting-edge approaches automatically.

This introductory rate is an invitation to experience the value. Upon successful completion of the 3-month trial, we can explore a continuing partnership at $7,500 – $10,000 per month, reflecting the full value of this executive-level role.
Built-In Accountability
One of the unique advantages of this engagement is that we leverage the Manus platform itself as our primary tool for accountability.
Every task advanced, every prompt refined, every project moved forward is logged and visible. No guesswork about where time is being invested or what value is being created.
We can review this activity together in brief weekly check-ins. If at any point the engagement isn't delivering the value you expect, you'll see it clearly—and we can course-correct or conclude.
Why This Works
Your AI projects maintain momentum without demanding your constant attention. You get executive-level AI strategy support at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire. And you have complete transparency into the work being done.
The 3-month structure means you can evaluate the partnership's value before any long-term commitment. The platform-based accountability ensures you always know exactly what you're getting.
I'm confident this engagement will create significant momentum for your AI initiatives and free up your time to focus on what you do best: leading the vision for the Eyes Wide Open Collective.
Let's discuss how we can begin.
