You used AI tools to build something that works. Now what? Most founders hit the same wall: your prototype needs to become a real product, but you don't have the technical team to make that happen. We become your technical partner, handling everything from technical questions to scaling infrastructure, so you can focus on growing the business you built.
You built it fast. Now make it last.
You proved the concept works. Users are signing up. But now you're competing with established SaaS products that have been refined for years. How do you match their reliability? Their performance? Their feature set? We've helped dozens of founders navigate this transition from prototype to competitive product.
Your users expect the same reliability as established SaaS products.
They're comparing you to Slack, Notion, or Stripe—products built by teams of hundreds with years of refinement. Your AI-built prototype works, but can it handle enterprise customers? Complex workflows? Integration requirements? You need the technical foundation that lets you compete at their level.
Your app works for 10 users. What about 1,000?
The prototype handles your beta testers fine, but real growth means real problems: slow load times, crashes under load, security vulnerabilities. You need someone who can identify what will break before it breaks and fix it before users notice.
You want to hire developers but don't know what to look for.
How do you evaluate a developer when you're not technical? What technologies should they know? What questions should you ask? Most founders hire the wrong person three times before they figure it out. We either become your technical team or help you hire and manage the right one.
Services
Market-Ready Technical Foundation
Get market-ready with clear documentation of what you built, why it works, and how it scales. We create the technical foundation and architecture that lets you compete with established SaaS products.
Production-Ready Rebuild
We take your working prototype and make it bulletproof. Security audits, performance optimization, scalable infrastructure, and proper error handling. Your users see the same product, but it's built to last.
Your Technical Co-Founder
We become your technical decision-maker and hands-on development team. Technology choices, architecture reviews, feature planning, and all the coding work. You focus on customers and growth; we handle everything technical.
Team Building & Hiring
When you're ready to hire your own developers, we help you do it right. Write job descriptions, screen candidates, conduct technical interviews, and onboard new hires. We ensure you build a team that fits your product and culture.
Scale Planning & Implementation
Map out how your product will handle 10x, 100x, and 1000x growth. Database optimization, server architecture, third-party integrations, and performance monitoring. We build the technical foundation for the business you want to become.
Ongoing Technical Leadership
Monthly retainer for ongoing technical guidance and development work. Strategic technology decisions, code reviews, feature development, and technical advisory. Like having a CTO and senior dev team without the overhead.
Process
1. Discovery Call
We start with your business goals: What problem are you solving? Who are your competitors? What do users expect? We'll audit what you have and identify what it takes to build a product that can compete in your market.
2. Competitive Analysis & Roadmap
A clear plan based on your competitive landscape. What features do users expect from products like yours? What technical capabilities do you need to compete? We prioritize based on what will help you win market share.
3. Foundation Phase
2-4 weeks stabilizing what you have and building the technical foundation for growth. Security, performance, documentation, and proper development processes. You'll see immediate improvements in reliability.
4. Growth Phase
Feature development, scaling infrastructure, and ongoing technical leadership. We work as your technical team, handling everything from architecture decisions to day-to-day coding work.
5. Partnership
Long-term technical partnership as you grow. We scale with your business, eventually helping you build and manage your own technical team when you're ready.

FAQ
I used AI to build my MVP but I'm not technical. Can you take over?
Yes, that's exactly what we do. We specialize in working with non-technical founders who built something with AI tools. We'll audit what you have, document how it works, and either stabilize it or rebuild it properly. You don't need to understand the technical details—that's our job.
Will you replace what I built or work with it?
We work with what you have whenever possible. If your prototype works and users are happy, we'll stabilize and scale it rather than rebuild from scratch. When rebuilding is necessary, we do it incrementally so your users never see disruption.
Can you help us compete with established SaaS products?
Yes, that's exactly what we do. We analyze your competitive landscape and build the technical capabilities you need to match or exceed what users expect from established products. Better performance, more reliable uptime, enterprise-grade security, and the integrations your customers demand.
How is this different from hiring a developer?
Individual developers are great for feature work, but scaling a business requires technical leadership. We provide both: senior engineering expertise and the business judgment to make the right technology decisions. Plus, we can help you hire and manage your own team when you're ready.
What does the engagement look like?
We start with a discovery call to understand your business and audit your technology. Then 2-4 weeks of foundation work to stabilize what you have. After that, we work as your ongoing technical team through a monthly retainer, handling everything from feature development to scaling infrastructure.
I have users in production. Is it safe to make changes?
We specialize in working with live products. We use staging environments, incremental rollouts, and comprehensive testing to ensure changes don't disrupt your users. Most improvements happen behind the scenes—better performance, fewer bugs, more reliable uptime.
