I’m pacing the kitchen, late at night, the house quiet except for the hum of the fridge. I can’t shake the worry gnawing at me. I’ve trusted my team, trusted the systems we’ve built, but there’s this nagging doubt that keeps creeping in—what if we’re missing something? What if the foundation we’ve built everything on isn’t as solid as I think? I don’t have the expertise to see the cracks, but I know they’re there, hiding in the code, in the infrastructure, waiting to cause problems I’m not equipped to handle. It’s not just about what’s working now; it’s about whether we’re ready for what’s next. I need someone who can dig deep, find the weak spots, and help me fix them before they turn into disasters. But what if I’m too late, and the damage is already done?
For Pre-Startup Businesses
Start With: A Discovery Session leading to a Technology Strategy Document (Prospectus)

The excitement should be electric, but instead, there’s this heavy weight in my chest. I’ve got the vision, the big idea that I know can work, but every time I think about the tech side of things, I feel like I’m staring into an abyss. I don’t know where to start, what we need, or how to make sure it all comes together without falling apart. The risks keep circling in my mind—what if I choose the wrong technology, or worse, what if I miss something critical that could sink us before we even get off the ground? I need a plan, a real strategy, but more than that, I need someone who can see the road ahead, who can help me navigate the unknowns and avoid the pitfalls I can’t even see. But the fear of getting it wrong keeps me up at night, wondering if I’ll ever feel confident enough to take that leap.
