Engineering for pre-pmf saas founders
The Engineering department runs honest stack reviews and engineering tracking (the Chassis view, with bidirectional GitHub sync) — a CTO who'll recommend non-Merkava tools when the math favors them. $99/mo.
You're shipping features, writing landing copy, doing demos, answering tickets, and watching MRR. Every hour spent on growth is an hour not on product. You can't afford a $10K/mo CMO and don't want a fractional that pretends to be one.
Outcomes you'd otherwise need to hire for.

- Activate Engineering: honest stack reviews, no consultant agenda
- Finance is $49/mo (free in the Full C-Suite) the moment you want a CFO view

Why Engineering for pre-pmf saas founders specifically?
You're shipping features, writing landing copy, doing demos, answering tickets, and watching MRR. Every hour spent on growth is an hour not on product. You can't afford a $10K/mo CMO and don't want a fractional that pretends to be one. Engineering runs the function those gaps live in. The Engineering department runs honest stack reviews and engineering tracking (the Chassis view, with bidirectional GitHub sync) — a CTO who'll recommend non-Merkava tools when the math favors them.
What specialists does Engineering deploy?
Engineering manages: Chassis. All of them are included in the $99/mo hire.
What's the trial?
7 days. Credit card required at hire; auto-bills day 8. Cancel during the trial and you're not charged.
Does Engineering replace a full-time hire?
It replaces the senior decision-making + execution layer. You still need a human in the loop for strategic decisions and customer-facing reps. The output volume is closer to a senior + 2-3 IC's than a junior.
