The Technical Co-Founder You Need, Without the Equity Cost
As a non-technical founder, you face a critical challenge: you need experienced technical leadership to build your product, but finding the right technical co-founder is difficult, time-consuming, and often means giving up significant equity in your company.
Our Technical Co-Founder as a Service gives you access to seasoned technical leadership without diluting your ownership. You get strategic guidance, hands-on development expertise, and the technical credibility investors look for—all on a flexible, affordable basis.
What We Provide as Your Technical Co-Founder
Strategic Technology Planning - We help you make the right technical decisions from day one. Which tech stack? Build or buy? Cloud or on-premise? We guide you through these critical choices based on your business goals, budget, and timeline.
MVP Development & Launch - We don't just advise—we build. Our team develops your minimum viable product using proven frameworks and best practices, getting you to market faster and with higher quality than outsourcing to agencies or freelancers.
Technical Team Building - When it's time to hire developers, we help you find the right people, conduct technical interviews, and build a team culture that attracts and retains top talent.
Investor Relations - We help you present your technology confidently to investors, prepare for technical due diligence, and demonstrate that your product is built on a solid foundation.
Who This Service Is For
First-Time Founders - You have a great business idea but lack technical expertise. We provide the technical leadership you need to turn your vision into reality.
Serial Entrepreneurs - You've built businesses before but need technical expertise for your current venture. We integrate seamlessly with your existing team and processes.
Funded Startups - You've raised capital and need to build fast. We provide experienced technical leadership that can hit the ground running and deliver results quickly.
How We Work Together
We typically start with a discovery phase where we assess your current situation, define your technical requirements, and create a roadmap for your product development.
Then we work together on an ongoing basis—usually 10-20 hours per week—providing the technical leadership, development work, and strategic guidance you need. We're available for critical decisions, investor meetings, and technical challenges as they arise.
As your startup grows, we can help you transition to a full-time CTO or continue providing fractional technical leadership as long as you need us.
