Why we exist

Most (AI) projects die on the launch pad. Ours don't. Why?

The problem

Projects rarely die from bad code. They die in the hand-offs: spec to design to dev to support, everyone waiting on someone. We cut the chain.

Our answer

One senior owner and a fleet of AI agents, from the first question to the thousandth user. You bring the idea. We build it, launch it and keep it in orbit.

Smallest unit

U=1

One person who owns both what to build and how it gets built. A CPO and a CTO in the same seat. The most from the least.

Who we are

With 20+ years from startups to enterprise, we've seen it all and tried it all: failed some, nailed some, and got stronger from all of it. But building is what we love, and we gladly take full responsibility for getting it done. Along the way we got good at picking the right tools for the job, and today that means AI, our speediest team member ever. Everything we learned the hard way now goes to work on your idea.

We have helped

Startups
Made tough calls, like parting with founding team members who were the wrong fit. Accelerated output exponentially. Raised $2M in seed funding and a Series A at a $20M valuation, all within 6 months of our involvement.
Scaleups
As interim CTOs, re-engineered dev teams for better throughput. Moved businesses to new revenue streams, such as platform models, which helped raise $10M+ of additional funding each.
Incumbents
Embedded as manager and consultant across several incumbents, moving the needle on ways of working, legacy to modern architecture and new business models. Became a trusted C-level voice with a seat at the board table.

How we build

01
Build live, not POCs
Production from week one. Real users, real data, no pilot purgatory.
Live in days
02
Few humans, many agents
A tiny senior crew directing as many AI agents as the job can use.
Agents at scale
03
Speed meets quality
Fast because it's tested. Tested because it's fast. Hand in hand.
No trade-off
04
Regulated-grade, if needed
Finance and compliance grade when your industry demands it.
Regulated-grade
05
Your code, your IP, obviously

For founders4–8 weeks

Launch Sprint

A founder and CTO who has sat where you sit — and takes your idea or deck to a live product with real users. Fixed scope, fixed crew, no drama.

Founder to founder — has started, staffed and launched startups of 1–20.

Founder instinct: what to build first, what to cut
An honest second opinion on stack, scope & AI — argued, not assumed
Pricing, revenue streams & business model, sparred founder to founder
Hands on the code, not just the roadmap
Clickable prototype in week one, live with real users in weeks
Full code & IP handover

Crew profileLaunch Sprint

Builder.

Hands-onStrategic
In the repo from day one: writes the code, ships the commits, makes the calls
SpeedRigour
AI in every loop: hundreds of millions of tokens a day, shipped as commits
Build newTransform existing
Blank slate to production: from mobile app studio to compliance SaaS
StartupEnterprise
Startups of 1–20, started and staffed first-hand

For scaleups2–6 weeks per use case

Low Earth Orbit

An interim CTO who steps in, takes the helm and drives — and sets up a way of working where one or two owners with AI agents do what used to take a whole team.

Interim CTO/CPO experience — takes ownership fast and leaves owners, not hand-offs.

Takes over tech leadership from day one
Owners with AI agents in place of hand-off chains
Independent second opinion: architecture, vendors, build vs. buy
New business models — like turning a product into a platform
AI agents & automations, with guardrails and cost control
Owners who run it without us

Crew profileLow Earth Orbit

Driver.

An interim CTO/CPO who takes the helm — and has reshaped a scaleup's business model by turning its product into a platform. Has brought new technology into banks and growing companies, built a compliance-as-a-service platform, and gives a straight second opinion, down to tech due diligence before a round.

Hands-onStrategic
Builds the hard parts alongside your people, then sets them up to own it with agents
SpeedRigour
Fast on use cases, never on guardrails, data leakage or model costs
Build newTransform existing
AI into the data and tools you already run — no parallel stack, no lock-in
StartupEnterprise
Growing companies and banks alike: digital transformation across industries

Every mission is different. Tell us where you want to go and we'll plot the trajectory with you.

How we work

First principles. Then exponents.

We don't start from how things are usually done. We strip a problem down to what is actually true — the user, the economics, the constraints that can't move — and build up from there. Then we put AI in every loop, so the work compounds instead of just adding up.

01
Question
Every assumption is a hypothesis. “That's how it's done” is not a reason.
02
Reduce
Break it down to fundamentals: who it's for, what must be true, what it really costs.
03
Rebuild
Design the simplest thing that works from those truths up — not a copy of the competition.
04
Compound
Accelerate every loop with AI, so each week ships more than the last.

Our motto, in one line

E(t) = A · e^ktwhere k ≫ 1

E(t)What you have in orbit at time t

AExceptional
The starting point. Senior people reasoning from first principles — quality is the base everything else multiplies.
eᵏᵗExponential
AI in every loop turns effort into compounding output. Each iteration makes the next one faster.
k ≫ 1Velocity
A small crew, no hand-offs, no slide decks. Nothing between the idea and the curve.

Flight plan

Idea to orbit, in weeks — not quarters.

01Days 1–5
Ignition
We pressure-test the idea with you: who it's for, what must be true, and the smallest thing worth launching. Ends with a clear build plan.
02Week 1–2
Blueprint
Design and architecture in parallel. Clickable flows, the data model, the AI parts, the stack. Decisions made, not deferred.
03Week 2–6
Build
A senior crew with AI in every loop ships production software in short, visible increments. You watch it grow, every day.
04Orbit ↑
Launch
Live with real users. We tune, measure and hand over — code, docs and know-how — so your team owns it, or we stay on as crew.

How we charge

Pay in cash, equity — or both.

We get paid the way that fits your mission. The more of our time goes into your company, the bigger it can get — so for the right founders we take part of our fee as sweet equity and grow with you, instead of just billing you.

Company size ×4.0Our share ■

E(t) = A · eᵏᵗt = 6 mo

Crew time6 months

Payment mix

Fee: Reduced rate
Equity: Sweet equity, vesting as we build
Best for: Funded startups that want a partner, not a vendor

Illustrative. Every deal is set together during Ignition — and we only take equity in missions we truly believe in.
