Helping SaaS teams fly solo
We build software. We lead engineering teams. We coach technical leaders. We technically de-risk funding rounds.
Our engineers will get your software (back) on the rails by joining your existing team. Our senior developers lead by example and improve the engineering workflow.
This is what we do best
How we help SaaS teams
Depending on your situation, we'll use a different approach.
Building
Our senior software engineers join your team and lead by example while building your product
We develop software from the ground up, shape the product, offer strategic advice, and manage the engineering team. If there is no team, we'll help you recruit it.
Software engineeringLeading
Our CTOs ad interim help with technical leadership or act as a soundboard for your (struggling) tech lead.
Our CTOs ad interim lead your engineering teams in the form of consulting, CTO as a service or engineering management. Our CTO Soundboard service is a specialized track designed to empower your tech leaders.
Technical leadershipAuditing
With our technical due diligence, we help investors and founders identify the technical risks for their next funding round.
During our due diligence audits (or technical audits), we listen to the voices in the relevant teams and dive deep in your product's codebase. We give our honest opinion and point you in the right direction, fully remote.
Technical due diligenceMaking ourselves obsolete
We are not a typical agency
We believe that the biggest test for every entrepreneur is in scaling their business. We have found that the challenges are unique to each business, requiring specific solutions.
We help early stage companies overcome these challenges by providing technical expertise matched with product and business strategy. All while coaching the company's teams to lead their people with confidence.
When we don’t know, we ask. When we know, we share. It’s our duty to make sure everyone next to us does the same. We mentor your team and share knowledge openly. Company culture is also key. Happy people get you further so we create an atmosphere of trust and smiley faces.
However, radical honesty is our trademark. Serving as the technical voice, we say no when needed (even if this will cost us the deal). Our engineers set a high bar and work together with your team to deliver quality-first products. Pinky promise.
And one thing we tell our clients at the start: we're not going to stick around forever. Our goal is to make your team stand on it's own feet and look for our replacements as soon as possible. That's why we can also help with recruiting.
