Make confident technical decisions — without hiring a full-time CTO.
Sound familiar?
68% of startups collapse because founders do struggle with product-market fit, financial issues or wrong teams. You must focus on simple, stage-relevant, quick-to-deliver technical solutions.
Corporate experience significantly differs from something startups need. CTOs repeat well-known patterns which start wasting your time and money building scalable architectures prior to market-fit.
Today you can apply to startup programs prior to any VC and get at least $4000 of cloud credits for free. It is just one of hundreds of opportunities to save money on early stage.
Employment cost is the most expensive part of early-stage innovation. Stop wasting money on software engineering while you validate idea, stop hiring top-tier engineers who will overcomplicate solutions.
Founders say that more than 47% of ideas are not implemented because lack of required technical knowledge and business tools.
Can I adopt this new AI? How much effort would that require? You just want to ask someone with technical background but nobody cares.

Testimonials
Discover how our expertise has helped teams reach their goals.
We dissected my idea in detail, broke down the budget, and pinpointed what to tackle first and what to skip. That clarity opened up new opportunities, showed me how to test the concept, and saved me $30,000 of redundant software development.
As I explored launching a community for my immigrant-focused social impact startup, I realised that tackling the technical hurdles was vital to the user experience I envisioned. Thanks to timely expert guidance, I pivoted early and avoided getting bogged down in the endless maintenance overhead.
As a CPO I know speed is everything - time is the one resource you never get back. I needed a lean way to launch and test my AI startup idea fast. After a brief chat I got exactly that: clear, actionable technical guidance on how to build at zero development cost and move immediately.
FAQ
Explore our values through FAQ — transparency is our core value, so we believe these fair questions should be answered even before our first call.
You don’t need to have anything except your idea to start. No legal entities, no employees, no revenue. Literally, just you and your idea. Book a complimentary 30-minute consultation to discuss your vision. If you already on the next stage, you still find valuable to get a free tech perspective on something you create. If you already hired a someone technical - get the second opinion.
Book a complimentary 30-minute consultationLikely, you don’t. That’s a common misconception that you as a non-technical founder need someone technical committed to your idea for full-time. It makes bariers and slows down your innovation. We provide the practically required level of technical assistance aligned with your idea’s current stage. This is time and money efficient approach which increases your chances to succeed as a business not as a technology in vacuum.
We provide end-to-end technical partnership for early-stage innovations. Not outsourcing, not outstaffing. We are your tech partner. We don’t have any incentive to sell you more workforce, that’s why we focus on your actual requirements of the business behind any of your idea with flat payment structure. We help you to build the right culture and healthy thinking about tech instead of selling development where you don’t need it.
That’s a big challenge to find the right CTO on early-stage. Seasoned technical experts from large technical companies are the worst ever employees for startups on average. Solutions for starups and solutions in big tech differ significantly. Sometimes monthly Amazon Web Services bill is enough to maintain your startup’s runway for a year or more. The difference is clear, big tech requires a lot of custom solutions and scalable deployments which are non-sense for a startup with less than 10 000 of active users and less than $1 500 000 ARR.
Of course. Vendor-locking is out of our values. If you decide to stop using our services and hire a full-time Chief Technical Officer, we can help you to find the best fit for your business and gently handover all the available knowledge to keep your business working as before. Long-term customer happiness is greater than short term sales. If you still want to keep as a partner we provide semiannual tech audits of your tech landscape in a form of a report which highlights the risks we identify in your CTO’s tech strategy
Yes. All our monthly-based packages require to have only one week notice. For example, if we had our first session on the first days of September and after two weeks you found your idea not performing on the level you’ve expected and you need a break, you have reasonable amount of time to send the notice to us and take a pause from October.
