Our take
AI has made building accessible. Anyone can spin up an idea, ship a prototype, get an MVP into the world. That's real progress, and we're not here to argue against it.
But an MVP isn't a business. Somewhere between "it works on my laptop" and "it works for real users, at scale", there's a gap. That gap is engineering. Architecture that holds up. The craft that turns a promising idea into something you can actually run a company on. That craft hasn't gone away just because it got easier to skip.
We think it shouldn't cost you a full-time team and a burned-down runway to find out if your idea works. Testing a product, hardening a prototype, getting from idea to business, that should be within reach for everyone.
That's what we do. We bring in engineers who know how to build real, working systems, not just fast ones, and embed them with you at a cost that makes sense for you and lets you actually find out if your idea works, before you bet the company on it.
Hiring is broken for early-stage startups.
US engineering talent is expensive and slow to hire.
Offshore platforms give you unknown engineers with no vetting.
You need someone who knows the talent — and stands behind them.
Simple. Fast. Embedded.

Your engineer starts building
Two-week engagement, fully embedded. Slack, standups, sprints — just like a local hire.
A network built over years. Not scraped from a platform.
Addis Ababa has a fast-growing, world-class engineering community — trained at top universities, competitive in global hackathons, hungry to work on hard problems.
Built by a software engineer (ex-Goldman Sachs) with deep roots in the Ethiopian tech ecosystem — every engineer personally known to us, not sourced from a job board.
