ENGAGED. Your team. Our seniors. Same Slack.
// ./who_we_help.txt

If any of these is you.

// E-COMMERCE BRAND

You sell things online and the site needs to keep up.

New stores, replatforms, multi-currency rollouts, B2B portals, performance rescues, subscription cohort migrations. We have shipped 100+ of these.

// SAAS / B2B

You sell software and the team is stretched.

Dashboard rebuilds, customer portals, integrations between your product and your customers' tools, AI features your roadmap keeps slipping. We are a force-multiplier for in-house teams.

// OPS-HEAVY BUSINESS

Internal tools that replace the Frankenstein stack. ERP integrations. AI automation that takes the manual work off the board. Things that pay for themselves in 90 days.

// EARLY-STAGE FOUNDER

You need a CTO without the dilution.

Fractional CTO + dedicated build team. We do the architecture, the hiring plan, and the actual code. Most founders ramp down our hours as their team grows; some never do.

Real questions businesses ask.

Don't see yours? Email [email protected].
Q.01
Do we work with a salesperson or with engineers?
Engineers. We don't have a sales team. The senior who scopes your engagement is the senior who builds it.
Q.02
How do you compare to hiring full-time?
A senior engineer in the US is $180k–$240k loaded. That is $15k–$20k/mo before you have a team. A retainer with us is a senior team — bench, vacation coverage, multi-disciplinary — for less. You scale up and down as needed.
Q.03
What if we want to hire in-house later?
Good. We will help you scope the role, sit in on the interviews, and ramp them down off our hours. About 30% of our retainer engagements wind down this way.
Q.04
Do we own the code?
Yes. All code is yours, in your repo, from day one. We do not retain rights, do not insert dependencies that lock you in, and will hand off everything on request.
Q.05
How do you handle confidentiality?
NDA standard. We sign before any commercial conversation. For sensitive engagements (M&A, security, regulated industries), we do additional vetting on the team and use isolated Slack workspaces.
Q.06
What if our project is research-y / vague?
T&M with weekly retros. We will not commit fixed-price to something we cannot scope honestly. We will tell you when we have enough clarity to switch to fixed-price.
// READY?

Let's put a senior team
on your roadmap.

30-minute fit call. No deck. No discovery fee. We tell you in the call whether we can help, and if we can't, who we'd send you to.
