A co-founder role, not a co-founder search
Finding a technical co-founder can take months, and it often ends with someone who wants half the company, a full salary, or both. Meanwhile the product waits, and the family keeps asking when the app will launch.
We take on the job a tech co-founder would do, as a team of IITians. A named technical lead makes the product and technology decisions with you, and the engineers in your WhatsApp group are the people writing your code. "Co-founder" is the role we play. Most founders pay cash and keep all of their company; for selected startups we co-build for part cash and a small stake.
How it works, from call to launch and after.
25-minute call
Video or in person. Your users, the three things they must do on day one, your timeline and budget.
Fixed price, in writing
A one-page scope, a fixed price and a week-by-week plan by the next day, whether you go ahead or not.
Your v1 is live
A working demo every week and updates in your WhatsApp group, then launch and a handover call.
Your tech partner
The same team stays on: fixes, new features, upgrades and cloud costs, every month. 30 days’ notice to stop.
Cash ya equity? Dono chalega.
Fixed price, in writing
No equity needed. You pay a fixed price, agreed before work starts, and keep 100% of your company. Most founders work with us this way.
- V1 Sprint
- Live in 21 daysYour exact price comes in writing the day after the call.
- Then Tech Partner
- One monthly feeA named lead and senior engineers every month. 30 days’ notice to stop.
Co-build
Lower cash upfront, plus a small equity stake, so we share the risk with you.
- For selected startups, by application
- Terms agreed case by case, in writing
- Same team, same weekly demos, code in your accounts
GST invoice on every option, paid in milestones by UPI, NEFT / RTGS or card. Two weeks of fixes after launch are included.
Questions, answered.
Do you take equity?
Only if you want to. Most clients pay cash and keep 100%. For selected startups we co-build for part cash and a small stake; we agree terms case by case.
Who owns the code and the IP?
You do. The code lives in your GitHub and runs in your cloud accounts from the first commit, so nothing has to be handed over at the end.
What happens after launch?
Two weeks of fixes are included. After that, most founders keep us on as their Tech Partner: a named lead and senior engineers who ship fixes, features and upgrades every month. You can stop with 30 days’ notice.
Why not just hire a CTO?
A good CTO hire takes months to find and usually costs a senior salary plus equity, before anything is built. We start within days at a fixed price. When you are ready to hire your own CTO or engineers, we help you hire and hand over.
How will we get updates?
A WhatsApp group with your lead, a working demo every week, and a short written update every Friday.
Do I get a GST invoice?
Yes. Every milestone comes with a proper GST tax invoice. Pay by UPI, NEFT / RTGS or card.
Stop waiting for a tech co-founder.
Tell us what you are building. A 25-minute call, then a fixed price in writing the next day, with a GST invoice. Pay cash, or ask about co-building.
