Example
01 · The wall
AI got you a product. Now it needs an owner.
The first version took a weekend. Every one since takes longer, breaks more and pulls you away from selling.
You're not sure who can see your users' data.
38% of AI coding tasks still produce vulnerable code. Veracode, Oct 2026
Customers keep asking. The list only grows.
It was fast with ten users. It isn't with a thousand.
02 · The options
Hire, freelance or agency. Each one costs you something.
What you need is product judgment and senior engineering, from someone who owns the result.
Hire a CTO
Months to find, equity to give, and a hard reset if it's the wrong person.
Technical roles take a median of 75 days to fill. Ashby, 2026
Costs months and equity
Freelancers
They finish the ticket. Then the context leaves with them.
Costs ownership
An agency
They build to the spec, hand it over and move on.
Costs the long run

We pick each other. Then we go all in.
We say yes carefully, because once we do, we're in it for the long run.

- 04As you grow
Grow
More builders when you need speed, fewer when you don't. The partnership grows with you.
We're a fit if
- You have customers, and they're asking for more.
- You'd rather sell than manage engineers.
- Your product was built fast and now needs a real foundation.
- You want a partner for years, not a project for weeks.
We're not a fit if
- You're shopping for the lowest hourly rate.
- You need one project built and handed off.
- You want tickets done without anyone asking why.
05 · Our promises

What you can count on, in writing.
- Everything we build is yours.It lives in your repository and your cloud accounts, from the first commit.
- No equity.You keep all of your company.
- No lock-in.It's month to month: cancel any time, and the month you're in stays paid. You keep the code, the tests and the docs.
- When we part, we delete our copies.Everything stays with you.
- Security comes first.Data access, secrets and backups are the first things we fix.
- The people you meet are the people who build.No hand-off to a team you've never met.

07 · Questions
What founders ask us first.
How much does it cost?
One fixed monthly fee for the team, agreed when we meet. No hourly billing and no equity.
We vibe-coded it with Lovable, Bolt, Replit or Cursor. Can you take it over?
Yes. That's often where we start: we review it, lock it down, and decide with you what to keep and what to rebuild.
Do we have to stop using AI ourselves?
No, keep building with it. We set up the guardrails so what you make is safe to ship.
How is this different from a fractional CTO?
A fractional CTO advises. We advise and build: the product, the code and the system that ships it.
Who owns the code?
You do, from the first commit. It lives in your repository, and when we part, we delete our copies.
What if it isn't working?
Tell us early. It's month to month: you can cancel any time, the month you're in stays paid, and you keep everything we've built.
Do you work with larger companies?
Yes, when a company wants a new product or product line built and owned end to end.
How do you choose who you work with?
We look for founders who sell, a product people already use, and a market we believe in.
