Tech partners,
not consultants.
Fractional CTO. Technical due diligence. Hands-on when it counts.

Technical leadership for companies that need senior expertise without the full-time commitment. Architecture decisions, hiring your first engineers, setting up processes—we've done it before. We build the foundation, then help you hire someone permanent.
Deep technical assessment for investors evaluating deals. We look at architecture, code quality, team capabilities, technical debt, and scalability risks. Clear report, honest assessment, no sugar-coating.
Strategic guidance on architecture, team structure, and technical direction. A sounding board for hard decisions. We challenge assumptions and bring patterns from companies we've scaled.
We build and back companies ourselves—including AI-powered products and processes. Skin in the game. When we advise, we know what it's like to be on the other side.
Two partners, both involved. Complementary skills—backend and systems, frontend and UX—same critical thinking. We've scaled teams, shipped products, and navigated exits. Now we're selective about where we spend our time. Interesting problems, good people, fair terms. We'll get our hands dirty while building your team, then hand it over. If it's not a fit, we'll say so early.
Mark Himmelsbach & Florian Barth — Engineers, CTOs, founders. Built and exited. Now looking for the next interesting opportunity.
