Early stage companies have unique IT requirements.

The opportunity for building lasting value is great, speed to market is paramount, execution has to be flawless and it all has to be done with an eye on the burn rate. Differences from conventional IT include:

• Creation & frequent revision of technology road map.
• Need to preserve capital by "renting" the infrastructure rather than building it out.
• A highly dynamic environment requiring agility and frequent (re)assessment of potential projects.
• Different types of experts needed at varying stages of development.
• Relatively clean slate — an advantage, but it comes with the burden of creating maintainable systems.

We are a virtual CIO for Early Stage companies, helping them focus their energy and attention on their value-add. We take the time to learn our client's business. We provide intellectual partnership, not just pairs of hands.

A part of our role is to evaluate/recommend technology and build technology road maps appropriate to the task and the organization. The rest of our role is to make it happen. Our team has professionals with diverse skills who can address such challenges, with experience in project management, integration of purchased software solutions, custom application development where necessary and procurement and deployment of infrastructure. We are a small company with a wide network of experts to rely on.

We have been building lasting value for nascent companies for 10 years, in a diverse range of businesses.

We measure our success by the value we bring, not by the billable hours we charge.
