Startup Tech Partner
Product Consulting in your repo, with weekly demos.
We focus on roadmap and scope review before you hire or spend. Written scope, your stack, weekly demos — no account-manager layer.
You have investor interest but product consulting — scope creep is the enemy. We agree on one metric, one cut line, and ongoing partner engagements quarterly. Then we build until that version is signed off.
Hiring a full-time CTO too early often slows founders down, not speeds them up.
We won't build features without a defined success metric.
Who this is for
- -First-time founders who need product consulting and honest scope pushback.
- -Pre-seed teams with investor interest but no technical co-founder.
- -Startups between hires — need product consulting for 8–12 weeks.
- -Founders who burned budget on agencies and want product consulting in one repo.
Problems we solve
- -Product Consulting estimates balloon because acceptance criteria were never written.
- -A previous vendor shipped product consulting that broke on edge cases in week two.
- -Your team lacks bandwidth to own product consulting while shipping the core product.
- -Integrations around Notion are fragile and nobody owns on-call.
- -Stakeholders disagree on what "product consulting done" means — so nothing ships.
What we deliver
- -Written scope for product consulting with explicit in/out of scope
- -Weekly demo — live or recorded — with decisions logged
- -Acceptance checklist signed before production launch
- -Runbook for the failure modes we expect in month one
- -Handoff doc so your team can maintain without us
- -Working implementation in your repo using Notion and Figma
How we work
- 1.Audit: existing Notion setup and failure modes
- 2.Design: approach, risks, and test plan before code
- 3.Implement: focused build with explicit done criteria
- 4.Validate: staging sign-off, then production with rollback plan
Why Futurebits
- -Weekly demos with written decisions — not status decks.
- -Stack-first: we start with Notion unless the audit says otherwise.
- -Direct access to the people writing code or design files.
Frequently asked questions
What does the first week of Product Consulting 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.
What if we already started Product Consulting in-house?
We pick up from current state, document what's there, and focus on what's blocking launch — not a rewrite unless necessary.
How is Product Consulting priced?
Fixed scope for sprints (ongoing partner engagements quarterly). Broader work runs as a pod with weekly demos. We quote after a 30-minute scoping call.
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.
