How it works

Bring your app ideas to life with a single coding subscription

From MVP to Series A

MVP Stage

At this stage, we focus on technical foundation building: choosing the right tech stack, finding quality contractors, making critical early architecture decisions, and implementing cost-effective solutions that can scale later.

Seed Stage

As you secure seed funding, our advice shifts to team building, implementing development processes, creating technical documentation, introducing AI automation, and preparing for the technical scrutiny that comes with Series A due diligence. We'll help you find and evaluate your first critical technical hires to build a strong engineering foundation.

Series A+ Stage

After securing Series A funding, we focus on scaling architecture, implementing security best practices, building technical leadership, creating compelling metrics and dashboards, and executing on your technical roadmap. We'll even help you find and hire a full-time CTO when you're ready to make that transition.

The biggest challenge for non-technical founders is to find the right technical partner who can help them build their product.
