Is this you?
We work best with founders who need speed, technical expertise, and runway-aware pricing. Here's who we typically help:
Non-technical solo founder
You have a vision and market insight, but need a technical team to bring it to life. We act as your fractional CTO and product team.
Product leader with capacity constraints
Your roadmap is ambitious but your team is maxed out. You need senior engineers who integrate seamlessly and ship fast.
Technical founder focused on vision
You want to stay on strategy, fundraising, and architecture—not daily execution. We handle the build while you focus on growth.
Need for Speed
Limited runway and investor updates demand fast validation. We ship MVPs in 4-8 weeks so you can hit demo day or fundraising milestones on time.
Technical Gap
No technical co-founder? We act as your fractional CTO and engineering team, helping you navigate technical decisions and build your product.
Built to Scale
Don't build technical debt that slows PMF validation. We architect your MVP to handle growth from day one—no rewrites when you hit product-market fit.
Capital Efficient
Runway-aware pricing that respects your burn rate. Fixed-scope packages with predictable costs, so you can plan your fundraising timeline confidently.
Everything you need to
launch and grow.

Common questions
How fast can you start?
We typically kick off within 1 week of agreement. For urgent MVP builds, we can often expedite the discovery phase.
Do you take equity?
We are primarily a fee-for-service agency, but for exceptional pre-seed/seed stage startups, we may consider a small equity component as part of a hybrid deal.
What happens after the MVP is launched?
We don't just disappear. We offer ongoing support packages, can help you hire your in-house team, or continue as your dedicated product team as you scale.
Do I own the code?
100%. You own all intellectual property, code, and assets from day one. We build it, you own it.
Can you act as a fractional CTO?
Yes. We provide technical leadership, architecture decisions, and strategic guidance alongside hands-on development. Many founders use us as their fractional CTO and product team.
What if our scope changes mid-project?
We build flexibility into our process. For fixed-scope projects, we handle minor adjustments within the agreed scope. For significant changes, we'll provide a clear change order with updated timeline and pricing before proceeding.
Do you help with fundraising decks or technical due diligence?
Yes. We can help prepare technical sections of your pitch deck, create architecture diagrams, and support technical due diligence conversations. This is often included in our ongoing partnerships or available as a separate engagement.
