Three ways we plug in.
Founder mode for startups. Pods for SMBs. Advisory + build for enterprises. Same team, same standards, different shape depending on where you are.
Three shapes, one standard.
- 01For startups
Founder Mode
Who it’s for
Pre-seed to Series A founders who need to ship before they can raise again.
What it is
Full cross-functional pod: product, engineering, design, DevOps. We make the architecture decisions, ship the MVP, and hand you a working product with clean code and docs. No recruiting. No ramp. No equity.
Shape
- 4 to 8 week sprints. Dedicated delivery lead. Weekly demos. Shared Slack.
What ships
- Working product in production, ready for your team to take forward.
- 02For SMBs
Pods
Who it’s for
VP Eng / CTO at a scaling company whose roadmap is outrunning headcount.
What it is
Senior engineering pods plugged into your stack and your rituals. AI, full-stack, DevOps, security, one delivery lead, so your PMs aren't herding individual contractors.
Shape
- 3+ month engagements. Pod sized to the work (typically 3 to 6 engineers). Aligned to your sprint cadence.
What ships
- What's on your roadmap, faster, without paying the recruiting tax.
- 03For enterprises
Advisory + Build
Who it’s for
Enterprise CIO / CDO facing an AI transformation, a regulated-industry build, or an innovation mandate.
What it is
Advisory rigor at startup speed. We've trained Fortune 100 leadership on AI and built production systems in regulated industries. Short alignment decks, then we build. The deck is the start, not the deliverable.
Shape
- Workshops and advisory cycles, often paired with an embedded build team. Scopes from 6 weeks to multi-quarter.
What ships
- A shared mental model, a prioritized roadmap, and production systems, not a 200-page PDF.
What you can hire us to do.
Four disciplines. One standard: production-grade, compliant from line one, shipped.
- 01
AI Engineering & Data Science
AI built into the product, not the pitch. Predictive models, intelligent automation, and LLM systems that run in production.
Learn more - 02
Cybersecurity & Compliance
Audit-ready from line one, in the product and across the program. HIPAA, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 built into what you ship and how you operate, not bolted on after.
Learn more - 03
Full-Stack Development
Idea to shipped product, by one team that owns the outcome. Web platforms, mobile apps, and MVPs.
Learn more - 04
Cloud, DevOps & Quality
Infrastructure that ships itself. CI/CD, Terraform, observability, and automated testing.
Learn more
One team, one lead, one outcome.
Pods are self-sufficient, so your PMs aren’t coordinating five contractors with five onboarding docs. One delivery lead owns the outcome. Specialists plug in as the work demands.
- Delivery LeadSingle point of contact. Owns the outcome.
- ProductScope, specs, prioritization.
- EngineeringFull-stack seniors. Architect and ship.
- DesignProduct design and interaction.
- DevOpsCloud, CI/CD, observability.
- Data / AIWhen AI is part of the product, not the pitch.
- SecurityRegulated industries, audit-grade.
The shape of the problem, by seat.
- Startup founder / CEO
How do I ship before I need to raise again?
Our answerFounder Mode. Full pod, weeks not quarters, and no cap-table dilution.
- Startup CTO
I'm drowning and can't hire fast enough. What do I do?
Our answerPods. Senior engineers plugged into your stack next sprint, not next quarter.
- SMB VP Engineering
How do I scale a roadmap that's twice my headcount?
Our answerPods. Scale capacity without the recruiting cycle or the offshore tax.
- Enterprise CIO / CDO
The board wants AI. How do I avoid just handing them a deck?
Our answerAdvisory + Build. Alignment first, then production systems: short path, not slideware.
- Enterprise CISO
How do I find partners who actually understand compliance?
Our answerHIPAA, SOC 2, and audit trails from line one, on every engagement, not as an add-on.
- VC / Investor
How do I get a portfolio company an engineering team right now?
Our answerFounder Mode. We can be a founding team in days and hand it off clean.
