Some Tech Work for Startups

We build startup engines that ship, grow, and raise

We do the hard execution work founders cannot outsource to generic agencies. We build your website, sharpen ICP, improve delivery systems, and prepare your company for investor scrutiny.

The bottlenecks we fix

Why good startups still miss targets they should hit

Founders do not fail from lack of effort. They fail from scattered execution. We focus on customer definition, market-facing narrative, website conversion path, technical delivery quality, and fundraise preparedness.

01

No single ICP

The deck targets one buyer, the website talks to another, and the team closes a third profile. Pipeline fills, conversion drops, and churn arrives early.

A website and narrative that do not carry the raise

Investors and enterprise prospects visit your website before they reply. Vague story, thin proof, weak UX: confidence drops before the first call.

Execution gaps across team, stack, and fundraise prep

Founders carry strategy, product, hiring, and technical decisions at once. Without operating systems and diligence readiness, growth stalls when market pull starts.

How we work

We do strategy, then we do delivery

We do not stop at recommendations. We build, fix, implement, and own delivery with your team. If the plan requires product, platform, growth, or operational changes, we execute those changes.

We stay close to founder reality: limited bandwidth, high expectations, short runway. Every sprint ties to growth, decision quality, or raise readiness.

01 · ICP & narrative

We define your ideal customer

We interview the signal, map segment economics, and lock a clear ICP the team can execute against. We align website, sales motion, and messaging so every channel says the same thing.

02 · Architecture review

We build the technical foundation

We review your stack against the next 12 to 18 months. We fix architecture bottlenecks, improve delivery flow, and help set team structure so product velocity holds as complexity increases.

03 · Diligence readiness

We prepare your company for fundraise diligence

We prepare data room inputs, technical narratives, risk registers, and operating metrics investors ask for. We do not coach pitch theatre. We make sure your answers survive diligence.

Beyond startup pace

You still need a site investors open on Sunday

Founders move fast. The website and ops stack still need to look credible when an investor opens them between meetings.

Common questions

What founders ask before they engage

What does Some Tech Work do for startups specifically?

We cover the technical layer founders cannot hand to a generic agency: architecture review before you scale, investor-ready technical due diligence preparation, WordPress or Next.js website that converts rather than just exists, AI automation to remove manual ops bottlenecks, and fractional CTO cover when you need senior judgment without a full-time hire.

How does technical due diligence preparation work for a fundraise?

We review your codebase, infrastructure, security posture, and operational maturity against what investors actually check. Output: a risk register, an honest assessment of what will be flagged, and a prioritised remediation plan you can action before the data room opens. Recent engagements have covered Seed through Series B rounds.

Do you work with pre-revenue startups or only post-traction companies?

We work from late Seed onwards, where there is a product in market and a defined problem to fix. Pre-product teams need a co-founder or a product studio, not a consulting engagement. The fit is strongest when you have 5–50 people, a working product, and a specific gap: a technical debt audit, a performance problem, a fundraise coming, or a manual workflow eating team time.

Can you act as a fractional CTO for a startup between full-time hires?

Yes. This is one of the most common engagement types. We cover architecture decisions, engineering hiring bar and interview design, vendor RFP evaluation, board-level technical reporting, and delivery quality review at 2–5 days per month. We stay until your full-time CTO is in place, and we document everything so the handover is clean.

What is the typical cost and timeline for startup engagements?

A technical audit or discovery phase starts from €3,500 and runs 1–2 weeks. A defined delivery project (website relaunch, AI automation) is quoted as a fixed price, typically €8,000–€40,000 depending on scope. Fractional CTO retainers run €5,000–€12,000 per month for a startup-sized scope. First scope call is free.
