    Packages we offer:

    Technical feasibility audit for financing

    Startups often ship MVPs fast using AI/no-code tools, hiding deep technical debt. Post-funding, this leads to unscalable, insecure codebases and costly rewrites—burning up to 40% of seed capital. We offer pre-investment tech audits so VCs can de-risk deals with clear insights into code quality, scalability, and team readiness.
