Ship Like You Have a CTO. Without Hiring One.
Charlie builds, deploys, and manages your startup's product, from first line of code to Series A scale. Stop burning runway on agencies and infrastructure. Start shipping to customers.
Your #1 Problem Isn’t Product-Market Fit
It’s getting the product built. The co-founder gap is real.
The co-founder gap
87% of companies struggle to find technical talent. The average technical co-founder wants 25–50% equity for part-time work. You shouldn't have to give away half your company to ship an MVP.
The agency trap
The agency promised 12 weeks. It's been 6 months. They quoted $35K. You're at $80K with no end in sight. And the code? You can't even read it.
Every day you're not live, you're losing
While you're Googling "what is a reverse proxy," your competitors are shipping features, getting users, and learning from real feedback.
Infrastructure is a time sink
You're burning $427 a day. Your runway is 14 months. And you're spending it figuring out the difference between EC2 and S3 instead of talking to customers.
From Idea to Customers in Days
Not quarters. Not months. Days.
From idea to customers in days
Charlie builds your entire product: frontend, backend, database, authentication, payment processing, and third-party integrations. Then deploys it live with a real URL.
Continuous management after launch
Need a feature? Tell Charlie. Found a bug? Charlie fixes it. Traffic spikes? Charlie scales. Security patches? Handled. You never touch infrastructure.
Investor-ready from day one
Show up to your pitch with a live product and real users, not a prototype and a Gantt chart. The founders who raise are the ones who ship.
Full lifecycle, zero dependency
You control your product. No developer dependency. No agency lock-in. Clean, standard code in your own Git repo that any engineer can work with.
Three Steps. That’s It.
Optimized for speed, not complexity.
Connect your repo or start from a template
Already built something? Connect GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket. Starting fresh? Pick a template for SaaS, marketplace, booking system, or portal.
