Startup Tech Partner
Tech Consulting that holds up under real users.
We focus on architecture choices without a six-week assessment deck. Written scope, your stack, weekly demos — no account-manager layer.
Technical debt from v1 is tech consulting — and the fix isn't another generic agency retainer. We scope to ongoing partner engagements quarterly, using Jira and Figma in your stack where it makes sense. Weekly demos and a written cut line for what ships now versus later.
Roadmaps with 40 features are wish lists — we force rank by revenue impact.
We won't pretend to be co-founders on cap tables.
Who this is for
- -Pre-seed teams with investor interest but no technical co-founder.
- -Startups between hires — need tech consulting for 8–12 weeks.
- -Founders who burned budget on agencies and want tech consulting in one repo.
- -First-time founders who need tech consulting and honest scope pushback.
Problems we solve
- -Tech Consulting estimates balloon because acceptance criteria were never written.
- -A previous vendor shipped tech consulting that broke on edge cases in week two.
- -Your team lacks bandwidth to own tech consulting while shipping the core product.
- -Integrations around Jira are fragile and nobody owns on-call.
- -Stakeholders disagree on what "tech consulting done" means — so nothing ships.
What we deliver
- -Written scope for tech 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

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 Tech Consulting 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 Tech Consulting?
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 Tech 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 Jira 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.
