Startup Tech Partner
Founder Tech Partner. Scoped, shipped, signed off.
We focus on technical decisions when you do not have a CTO yet. Written scope, your stack, weekly demos. No account-manager layer.
Technical debt from v1 is founder tech partner is blocking something else from shipping. We take a fixed window (ongoing partner engagements quarterly), integrate with Notion and Figma, and demo progress every week.
Hiring a full-time CTO too early often slows founders down, not speeds them up.
We won't take equity-only deals.
Who this is for
- -Founders who burned budget on agencies and want founder tech partner in one repo.
- -First-time founders who need founder tech partner and honest scope pushback.
- -Pre-seed teams with investor interest but no technical co-founder.
- -Startups between hires need founder tech partner for 8–12 weeks.
Problems we solve
- -Founder Tech Partner estimates balloon because acceptance criteria were never written.
- -A previous vendor shipped founder tech partner that broke on edge cases in week two.
- -Your team lacks bandwidth to own founder tech partner while shipping the core product.
- -Integrations around Notion are fragile and nobody owns on-call.
- -Stakeholders disagree on what "founder tech partner done" means. Until that is defined, nothing ships.

- -Acceptance checklist signed before production launch
- -Runbook for the failure modes we expect in month one

Frequently asked questions
What do you need from us to start?
One decision-maker, repo or staging access, and honest constraints (timeline, budget, stack). Existing docs help but aren't required.
Can you stay on after Founder Tech Partner launches?
Yes. Maintenance sprints or a partner retainer. Many teams keep us for the next bottleneck once v1 is stable.
Who on your team works on Founder Tech Partner?
The same small team from kickoff to launch, not a rotating bench. You talk to the people writing code or design files.
What does the first week of Founder Tech Partner look like?
Access, repo setup, and a written scope draft. No build until you sign off on cut lines and the metric we're targeting.
Do you work with our existing Notion or Figma setup?
Yes, when it's sane. We audit first and tell you if something needs replacing. We won't rip out working infra for sport.
Do you take UAE clients for Founder Tech Partner?
Yes. Book a call on the +971 line. We scope in English, demo weekly in GST, and leave the work in your repo. A founder in Dubai gets a named counterpart, not a rotating bench. Weekly demos in GST.
