The founder had a clear product vision and three pilot customers waiting, but no engineering team and a 12-week runway to demo at a category event.

what we shipped.
We shipped the platform in three milestones: schema and core flows in weeks 1-4, billing and admin in weeks 5-8, observability and SOC2-ready logging in weeks 9-12.
All three pilot customers were live by week 10. The Series A pitch ran on the production dashboard, with live ARR counters as a slide.

what changed.
The founder closed a $4M Series A using the live platform as the primary demo. We continue as the engineering partner, with the founder now hiring a full team to take it forward.
