From Idea to LaunchWe Make It Happen

Q: How is this different from just hiring an agency?

An agency builds what you ask for. We also tell you whether you should be asking for it. Architecture, technical decisions and the honest assessment of trade-offs are part of the engagement, not an extra.

Q: What happens when I hire a real CTO?

You get a clean handover: documented architecture, readable code, and a walkthrough with whoever takes over. We designed it to be handed over from the first day, because it always is.

Q: How long does it take?

Eight to fourteen weeks for a first version, depending on scope. We agree the scope and the price before starting, and the scope is a list of named parts rather than a vague deliverable.

Q: What happens after launch?

Most clients move onto a monthly retainer for changes and support. Some take the code and run it themselves. Both are fine, and neither is a condition of the other.

Early-stage founders need a technical partner, not another agency. We provide CTO-level strategy and build your product: architecture, decisions, and delivery. London team, fixed scope, fixed price.

OUR SERVICES

The Investor Conversation

We handle the technical side of your fundraise: what investors check, how to answer diligence questions, and how to discuss your product without overpromising.

The MVP Itself

Fixed scope, fixed price, eight to fourteen weeks. Built to be shown to users and investors, and built so the next developer can pick it up without starting again.

Your CTO, Temporarily

We take the role until you hire one. Architecture and technology decisions, control of the build, and a straight answer to every technical question. You keep control of the product without needing to become technical to do it.

OUR PROCESS

We Provide Full Guidance from Start to Launch

Research, plan, design, develop, launch and scale process

THE PROBLEM WE SOLVE

9 in 10Pre-seed startups with no technical founder

4 monthsAverage time to hire a CTO

You cannot check the work

Hiring an agency without a technical person on your side means trusting an estimate you have no way to evaluate, accepting a codebase you cannot inspect, and finding out what was really built when the next developer opens it. The problem is not that agencies are dishonest. It is that nobody is representing your interests on the technical side.

The roadmap stops while you hire

A CTO search takes months. Meanwhile the build waits, the runway does not, and the version you show investors is the one you had in January. We cover the gap so the product keeps moving while the search runs, and hand over cleanly when you find the person.
