From Idea to Investment-Ready.
We Know the Startup Journey.
Building a startup is hard enough without wasting money on the wrong product. We help UK founders validate ideas quickly, build MVPs that work, and get the tech leadership they need to succeed.
No fluff. No enterprise processes. Just what startups actually need.
Startup Reality Check
Most Startups Fail. Yours Doesn't Have To.
The numbers are scary. But they're also avoidable.
We Get It
You Don't Have Time or Money to Waste
Every pound matters. Every week counts. Every decision could make or break you.
The Startup Dilemma
You've got a brilliant idea. Maybe some early interest. Possibly even some funding. But now what?
- Find technical co-founders? Good luck finding one who shares your vision and can actually build it.
- Hire developers? Too expensive, need management and too risky at this stage.
- Use freelancers? They don't deliver or disappear when you need them most.
- Learn to code? You've got a business to build.
- Use no-code? Fine for prototypes, but you'll hit limits fast.
- Use AI? It's a hype train that doesn't deliver on complex products.
There's a Better Way
What if you could:
- Test your idea before building anything
- Build an MVP that's actually usable, not just viable
- Get CTO-level guidance without the CTO salary
- Scale your tech as you grow, not rebuild from scratch
That's exactly what we do for startups like yours.
Built for Startups
Everything You Need. Nothing You Don't.
Three core services that take you from idea to scale
MVP Validation - Test Before You Build
Don't waste £40k building the wrong thing. Our MVP Validation Framework helps you test assumptions in just 1-2 days. Get clarity on what to build before writing a single line of code.
MVP Development - Launch in Weeks
Build what users actually want. Our MVP development service delivers working products in 6-12 weeks. Impress investors and early users with something that actually works.
Fractional CTO - When You Need It
Make the right technical decisions early. Our Fractional CTO service provides strategic guidance. Perfect when you need expertise but can't afford full-time.
The Smart Path
From Zero to Funded in Three Steps
We've helped dozens of startups. This approach works.
Step 1: Validate (Week 1)
Start with our MVP Validation Framework :
- Define your target users (properly)

Step 2: Build (Weeks 2-10)
Move straight to MVP development :
- Core features only (we help you choose)
- Professional design that builds trust
- Scalable architecture (no rewrites later)
- Launch support and handover
Investment: £20,000-£45,000
Outcome: Working product with real users
Step 3: Scale (Ongoing)
Get Fractional CTO support as you grow:

Common Scenarios
Whatever Stage You're At, We Can Help
Every startup journey is different. Here's how we adapt.
"I have an idea but no technical co-founder"
Perfect. Start with validation to prove the concept, then use our Fractional CTO to guide development. Many founders find this works better than giving away 50% equity.
"I need to build an MVP for investor demos"
Our sweet spot. We'll build something that looks professional and works reliably. Investors see dozens of broken demos - yours won't be one of them. Check our MVP development service.
"My prototype is breaking as we scale"
Common problem. Our team can assess what you have, stabilise the critical parts, and rebuild where necessary. Our modernisation service isn't just for enterprises.
"I need to hire developers but don't know how"
Our Fractional CTO service includes hiring support. We'll help you define roles, assess candidates, and build strong tech culture from day one.
