Get a custom proposalYour tech co-founder as-a-service. Zero equity.
Onera gives founders a technical co-founder, without giving up equity.
Most founders face a bad trade: hand 20-30% of your company to a technical co-founder you barely know, or hire an agency that ships code, sends invoices, and disappears. Onera exists because neither should be the price of building a real product.
We work with two kinds of founders:
Startup founders (pre-seed to Series A) get CTO-level leadership plus a senior engineering team that operates as your in-house tech department. We own architecture, roadmap, the investor-facing technical narrative, and delivery, everything a technical co-founder would own, minus the dilution.
SMB owners get the same senior team to build the software your business actually needs: internal tools, customer platforms, automations, with someone accountable for whether it moves the business, not just whether it compiles.
What you get:
- A dedicated senior pod, not a rotating bench of juniors. The people on your kickoff call are the people building your product.
- Co-founder-level ownership. We think about your runway, your next raise, your unit economics, our model only works if your business does.
- Weekly shipped progress you can see and use, not status reports.
- Zero equity. Your cap table stays yours.
Our guarantees:
- A working, demo-able version of your product within 30 days or we work free until it's there.
- Direct access to your engineering lead, responses within one business day.
- Cancel anytime with 30 days' notice. You own everything we build, from day one.
Onera has delivered $12.3M+ in funded products and works with founders from Plug and Play, Techstars, and 500 Global, backed by 12 years in the industry.
Choosing a development partner is one of the highest-stakes decisions you'll make. We've structured everything so the risk sits with us, not you.
