Sound Familiar?

The problems we hear most at this stage — and what we do about them.

“We need to launch before the runway runs out.”

We scope ruthlessly to the feature set that proves your core hypothesis — nothing else ships in v1.

“We don't know yet what will actually work.”

We build lean and instrumented, so you're making product decisions from data within weeks, not quarters.

“Investors keep asking about our technical foundation.”

We hand you architecture docs and clean code that hold up in technical due diligence, not just a demo.

“We don't have a technical co-founder.”

We act as embedded technical partners — available for the calls, not just the commits.

“What we build now needs to survive scaling later.”

We design for your Series A traffic, not just your launch day, so today's MVP doesn't become tomorrow's rewrite.

“Our idea might pivot before we even launch.”

We build in modules you can reconfigure, so a pivot means re-pointing pieces, not starting over.

What Clients Say

“We had a live product in five weeks and closed our seed round two months later. The technical docs alone impressed our lead investor.”

P

Priya Nandakumar

Founder & CEO, Pathlight

“They built for scale from day one. When we hit our growth spike after launch, nothing broke and nothing needed rebuilding.”

O

Owen Baptiste

Co-founder, Loomstack

“Acting as our technical co-founder meant I could focus on customers instead of hiring an engineering team I couldn't afford yet.”

Frequently Asked Questions

We have almost no budget — can you still help?

Start with a Prototype Sprint. It is priced to get you something testable and investor-showable without committing to a full build.

Can you work for equity instead of cash?

Case by case, usually alongside a reduced cash rate for early-stage founders with a credible plan. Bring it up on the first call.

What if our idea changes after we start?

That's normal at this stage. We build in modules specifically so a pivot means re-pointing pieces, not starting over.

Do you sign NDAs before discussing our idea?

Yes, always, no exceptions and no extra charge.

Can you join investor or board calls?

Yes — technical co-founder engagements include this, and we can join individual calls for other engagements on request.

How fast can you actually start?

Typically within a week of scoping. For funded startups on a deadline, we can often start sooner.

Got 20 minutes and an idea?

Let's figure out the smallest version of it that proves you're right.
