Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from founders.

Do I need a consultant if I have a technical co-founder?

Yes. A technical co-founder focuses on how to build. Startup Consulting focuses on what to build and why. We bridge the gap between technology and market needs to ensure you don’t build a great product that nobody wants.

Can you help with fundraising?

Absolutely. While we don’t pitch investors for you, we help you build the product narrative, the roadmap, and the traction metrics that investors look for. We prepare you to pass the product due diligence with flying colors.

How is this different from MVP Development?

MVP Development is a hands-on build service where we write code. Startup Consulting is strategic guidance where we advise on the direction, validation, and planning. Many clients combine both for maximum impact.

What stages do you work with?

We specialize in Pre-Seed to Series A startups. This is the “zero to one” phase where strategic product decisions have the highest leverage and where mistakes are most costly.
