The technical co-founder you haven’t hired yet.
We build products for other startups, and we stay with them while they scale. Two ways to work with us.
A defined scope, shipped.
- We scope it with you in the first week, at a fixed fee
- Weekly demos, so you always know where it stands
- Handover with documentation your own team can pick up
- You own everything: code, infrastructure, decisions
Terms: Fixed fee · 6–12 weeks
We act as your technical co-founder.
- Architecture decisions you won’t have to undo at Series A
- The first version, built properly rather than built twice
- Sound technical business decisions: hiring, stack choice, security
- The technical half of investor conversations
Terms: Retainer, equity, or both · three companies at a time
Startups we build for.

The next case study on this page has not been built yet. It could be yours.
Tell us what you’re buildingWe’re doing this for ourselves, too.
Most people you could hire to build your product have never had to raise money for one.
Elevsoft is not an agency renting out hours. The other half of this company is building radiation-tolerant networking silicon for satellites, a hard product on a long timeline, which we are designing and raising money for ourselves.
THE TYPICAL QUESTIONS WE GET
- What goes into version one, and what is honest to leave out
- How to explain a technical bet to someone who will not read the spec
- How to pitch the product honestly before it exists
- Which decisions are cheap to undo later, and which are not
