For founders, seed through Series C — Bay Area

IT that grows up with you. Without growing up too fast.

We build the IT, security, and identity layer that holds up under investor diligence — and keeps holding as you scale.

Why we fit

We’ve done this work before.

We know the diligence playbook

We pre-build the foundation investors and enterprise buyers ask for, so you’re never scrambling during a round or a deal.

Engineer-first help desk

Your team works in GitHub, AWS, Linear, and Slack — so do we. No tier-1 scripts, no chatbots.

SOC 2 path from day one

We wire your environment for SOC 2 readiness from the first deployment, so when the time comes you’re building on solid ground.

Scales without re-platforming

The foundation we build at five people is designed to hold at fifty and five hundred — same partner, same stack.

Typical scope

Common questions

Questions from startups.

Don’t see yours? Email the team — a senior engineer answers personally.

We’re eight people. Are we too small?
No. We work with founders from their first hires. The foundation we build at eight carries you through Series A and beyond — so you’re not re-platforming mid-growth.

We’re not ready for SOC 2 yet — is that OK?
Completely fine. Most clients start with managed IT and add the formal SOC 2 program when an enterprise customer or investor asks.

What does pricing look like for a startup?
We scope based on your headcount and what’s in scope. Send us a note and we’ll put together an honest estimate — no pressure, no guesswork.

Can you handle our distributed team?
Yes. We ship laptops to home addresses, support across time zones, and run identity and MDM without a physical office.

What if we get acquired?
We support sell-side diligence, data room preparation, and walking your acquirer’s IT team through the environment. We’ll help you look sharp at the finish line.
Worth a conversation
