OUR agency awards and certifications
The Technical Co-Founder Expertise You Need – Without the Equity Split
Bridge the gap between vision and execution. We provide the CTO-level leadership, engineering talent, and strategic roadmap you need to build a scalable product, secure funding, and grow without giving away your company.
Strategic Tech Leadership
Gain CTO-level guidance to align product development with business goals. We help you navigate critical decisions on tech stacks, architecture, and long-term scalability.
Example: A non-technical founder partnered with us to develop a roadmap and make critical tech stack decisions, allowing them to attract investors with a validated, scalable SaaS MVP.
Rapid MVP & Product Strategy
Quickly bring your vision to life. We prioritize high-value features to build a cost-effective MVP designed to validate your idea and attract early users.
Example: A founder needed to test their AI-powered e-commerce tool fast. We built a functional MVP in just 12 weeks, allowing them to secure funding and onboard beta customers immediately.
Building & Leading Tech Teams
Scaling a team is hard, we make it easy. We recruit, mentor, and manage high-performing engineering teams, ensuring your startup scales efficiently with the right talent.
Example: A SaaS company was struggling with high developer turnover. We stepped in as an interim CTO, stabilized their hiring pipeline, and implemented agile processes to increase delivery speed.
Engineering Excellence
Access senior engineers who build resilient, high-performance software. We ensure your technology can handle the demands of a growing user base without breaking.
Example: A fintech startup needed a robust, secure system. We assembled an engineering team to design the architecture and integrate AI models for a real-time fraud detection system.
Tech Innovation & Optimization
Stay ahead of the competition. We implement emerging tech solutions and scalable cloud architectures tailored to your specific industry needs.
Example: We modernized a logistics company’s outdated platform by integrating AI-powered route optimization, which reduced their operational costs by 30%.
Flexible Engagement (Keep Your Equity)
We offer the benefits of a technical co-founder without the rigid equity demands. Whether you need a hands-on tech partner or a fractional CTO, we adapt to you.
Example: A founder wanted technical leadership but didn’t want to give up equity. We provided a dedicated engineering team and strategic guidance at a predictable cost, keeping their cap table clean.
