Best of Both Worlds in Start-Up Tech
Startups need senior judgment without burning runway on senior rates for every commit. The model that works: architect and manage at a senior level, execute with a lean, supervised team when the work calls for it — always with clear ownership, review, and communication back to you.
You get expertise where it compounds — architecture, hiring, prioritization, security, and the hard calls — and efficiency where volume lives. No black box. No vanishing contractor. Full visibility into status and decisions.
