Startup Tech Partner
Product Roadmap Planning — scoped, shipped, signed off.
We focus on roadmap your team can execute — not a 40-item wish list. Written scope, your stack, weekly demos — no account-manager layer.
Technical debt from v1 is product roadmap planning — and the fix isn't another generic agency retainer. We scope to 8-12 weeks for idea-to-first-customers pod, using Notion and Figma in your stack where it makes sense. Weekly demos and a written cut line for what ships now versus later.
Investors care about one metric moving — not architecture diagrams.
We won't pretend to be co-founders on cap tables.
Who this is for
- -First-time founders who need product roadmap planning and honest scope pushback.
- -Pre-seed teams with investor interest but no technical co-founder.
- -Startups between hires — need product roadmap planning for 8–12 weeks.
- -Founders who burned budget on agencies and want product roadmap planning in one repo.
Problems we solve
- -Product Roadmap Planning estimates balloon because acceptance criteria were never written.
- -A previous vendor shipped product roadmap planning that broke on edge cases in week two.
- -Your team lacks bandwidth to own product roadmap planning while shipping the core product.
- -Integrations around Notion are fragile and nobody owns on-call.
- -Stakeholders disagree on what "product roadmap planning done" means — so nothing ships.
What we deliver
- -Written scope for product roadmap planning 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

Frequently asked questions
How is Product Roadmap Planning priced?
Fixed scope for sprints (8-12 weeks for idea-to-first-customers pod). 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.
Can you stay on after Product Roadmap Planning 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 Product Roadmap Planning?
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 Product Roadmap Planning 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.
