Startup Tech Partner
Product Strategy — scoped, shipped, signed off.
We focus on what to build first — ranked by revenue impact. Written scope, your stack, weekly demos — no account-manager layer.
The roadmap has twenty items and product strategy — and the fix isn't another generic agency retainer. We scope to 2-4 weeks for MVP scope + architecture plan, using Linear and Cal.com 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 take equity-only deals.
Who this is for
- -Pre-seed teams with investor interest but no technical co-founder.
- -Startups between hires — need product strategy for 8–12 weeks.
- -Founders who burned budget on agencies and want product strategy in one repo.
- -First-time founders who need product strategy and honest scope pushback.
Problems we solve
- -Product Strategy estimates balloon because acceptance criteria were never written.
- -A previous vendor shipped product strategy that broke on edge cases in week two.
- -Your team lacks bandwidth to own product strategy while shipping the core product.
- -Integrations around Linear are fragile and nobody owns on-call.
- -Stakeholders disagree on what "product strategy done" means — so nothing ships.
What we deliver
- -Written scope for product strategy 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 Linear and Cal.com
How we work
- 1.Align: goals, constraints, and who signs off on product strategy
- 2.Cut: smallest version that proves value — write it down
- 3.Ship: incremental releases with review each week
- 4.Measure: check the metric we agreed on; iterate or close
Why Futurebits
- -Typical window: 2-4 weeks for MVP scope + architecture plan — stated in writing before we start.
- -Weekly demos with written decisions — not status decks.
- -Stack-first: we start with Linear unless the audit says otherwise.
Frequently asked questions
Who on your team works on Product Strategy?
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 Strategy 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 Linear or Cal.com 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 Strategy 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 Strategy priced?
Fixed scope for sprints (2-4 weeks for MVP scope + architecture plan). Broader work runs as a pod with weekly demos. We quote after a 30-minute scoping call.
