Help your founders scale without unnecessary burn.
Every founder asks when to hire. Few investors have a trusted answer. We become that answer, helping your portfolio companies avoid expensive engineering mistakes during the first 18 months after funding.
One of the fastest ways to destroy runway is unnecessary hiring.
Only a fraction of recent seed rounds reach Series A. Why? Because burning cash with no clear path to profit is a massive red flag. Startups waste months of runway over-hiring bloated engineering teams because they try to solve organizational problems with headcount.
We don't just build teams.
We pressure-test capital deployment.
This is how we protect your capital:
The Velocity Audit
We pressure-test hiring assumptions before new roles are opened.
The Pod Assembly
We build the smallest, highest-leverage engineering crew needed to reach the next financing milestone.
The Execution
We handle all sourcing, payroll, and retention in Bengaluru, ensuring every dollar of your capital goes into productive output.
We protect
your capital.
When founders raise capital, the instinct is often to hire quickly. Our first instinct is to challenge that assumption.
We build the smallest, highest-leverage engineering crew needed to reach the next financing milestone. Your capital goes twice as far when deployed intelligently.
We partner with select venture firms to act as their on-ground operating partners in Bengaluru.
