Technical Advisory
A trusted technical voice when you need it, with no long-term engagement required. Ideal for SME and mid-sized leadership teams at a specific inflection point who want expert guidance and a second opinion.
What's included
Technology strategy
Evaluate your current stack, surface hidden risks, and map out a realistic technical path aligned with your business goals and runway.
Architecture reviews
A structured review of your system design, codebase, or technical plans with clear written recommendations you can act on.
Hiring & team assessment
Help defining technical roles, writing job descriptions, and evaluating engineering candidates or agencies.
Fundraising prep
Our founder has seen how VCs assess technical risk from inside a fund. We help you make your technical story credible before the room gets sceptical.
Who it's for
- Leadership teams facing a critical technical decision or inflection point
- Companies evaluating a new platform, vendor, or architectural change
- Teams looking for a second opinion before a major technical investment
- Founders and investors who need honest technical due diligence on a company
Background that's actually relevant
Advisory work is led by our founder, Michael Distel. He has written software for power plants where failure wasn't an option (Schneider Electric), bootstrapped a 20-person company from scratch, served as CTO at two VC-backed startups, and spent two and a half years as an Investment Associate at Cocoon Capital, one of Singapore's leading early-stage VC firms.
Our engineering team adds hands-on depth: a recommendation can be tested against real code, and if you decide to act on it, the same team can build it. That combination of judgement and delivery is what we bring to advisory.
