How we work
We take on 3-4 startups per year. Quality over quantity. We specialise in complex SaaS and scalable systems - the kind of problems that keep technical founders up at night.
Flexible engagement models
Paid Consultancy
Traditional engagement with day rates or project fees. No equity component.
Best for:
- Funded startups with budget but time pressure
- Specific, well-defined technical projects
- Teams with existing technical leadership
Equity Partnership
We work for ownership only. No cash changes hands.
Best for:
- Pre-funding or bootstrapped with limited cash
- Founders needing a technical co-founder
- Ideas we're genuinely excited to bet on
Hybrid Model
Reduced rates plus equity upside. Shared risk, shared reward.
Best for:
- Early-stage funded startups
- Projects where we add strategic value
- Long-term partnerships (2+ years)
Full lifecycle partnership
1. Idea
Validate the concept, define the MVP, and create a technical roadmap.
2. Architecture
Design systems that scale. No rewrites needed when you hit a million users.
3. Build
Ship fast, iterate faster. Real-world feedback drives every decision.
4. Exit
Whether acquisition or IPO, we're with you through due diligence and beyond.
What we look for
We can't work with everyone. Here's what makes a great fit:
Ambitious scale
If you just need a website or a simple app, we're probably not the right fit. We get excited about platforms that could serve millions.
Long-term mindset
We're not interested in quick flips. Our best partnerships span years, not months.
Openness to partnership
We'll push back on bad ideas. We'll tell you when something won't work. If you want yes-men, look elsewhere.
Technical complexity
Real-time systems, high availability, complex data models - that's where we add the most value.
Sound like a fit?
We take on 3-4 new ventures each year. If you're building something ambitious, we'd love to hear about it.
