Fractional to full
What we do
From first commit to first hundred employees
We join early, build what the next round needs, and set up the IT foundations most startups get around to too late.
- Product engineering: web, mobile and API development
- Cloud architecture, DevOps and cost control
- Managed IT: devices, identity, security and onboarding
- Fractional CTO and technical due diligence
How we engage
2 weeks
Every sprint ends with a working demo. Scoped work, no six-month statements of work.
Our services →Why founders pick us
Built for how startups actually work
Small teams, senior people, direct answers.
Fast by default
Senior engineers only, so there is no ramp-up and no layer of account managers between you and the people doing the work.
Secure from day one
SSO, device management and access policies set up before your first enterprise customer asks for a security questionnaire.
Right-sized stack
We pick boring, proven technology that a future in-house team can inherit without a rewrite.
