For Founders
Your product needs firmware,
an app and a backend.
You can find two of the three.
Every European founder building a physical product hits the same wall: the embedded engineer does not exist on the market at the salary your round allows, and the agencies that answer your email have never touched a CAN bus. This page is for that founder.
Your roadmap is not limited by strategy. It is limited by who you can hire.
Someone has probably already told you your product
has to become a software product.
The open question is where the engineers come from.
Are your digital initiatives progressing more slowly than your business demands?
Even strong strategies lose momentum when execution becomes unpredictable.

Will the enterprises always come first?
Will the enterprises always come first?
A fair question. Here is the answer.
01
Named team.
Your engineers are assigned to you and do not rotate onto larger accounts. Contractually.
02
Named technical lead.
One person accountable to you, reachable directly, who knows your product.
03
The same standard.

Will this survive due diligence?
Yes. We have sat on the other side of the table.
We conduct technical due diligence for investors and acquirers. We know what gets flagged: unclear IP assignment, a repo the company does not control, undocumented architecture, a bus factor of one.

IP:
Yours from the first commit. Assignment is in the contract, not implied.
Repositories, infrastructure, credentials:
In your accounts, under your name, from day one.
Architecture and decisions:
Documented as we go. Your DD data room writes itself.
Bus factor:
At least two engineers understand every critical component.

What happens when funding is lumpy
You scale down without a penalty.

Notice:
60 days, any direction.

No minimum term.
Beyond the pilot.
03
No lock-in.
If a bad quarter costs you a penalty, we structured it wrong.

We hand over. Cleanly.
Most founders we want to work with intend to build an in-house team. Good. Our job is to get you to the point where you can, and to make the handover boring: documented architecture, runbooks, code your new lead can read on day one, and engineers who overlap with theirs for as long as it takes.

01
For a product you have started:
One embedded or full-stack engineer with a technical lead, 16 weeks, one shipped increment.
02
For a product you have not started:
An architecture assessment or technical due diligence first — fixed scope, fixed price, and a document you keep whether or not you go further with us.
03
Then:
Scale if it works. Stop if it does not.

For a product you
have started:
A fixed-scope architecture review — what is solid, what will not scale, what an investor will flag. [FILL] weeks. You keep the document either way.
