Tech Partner

Your startup's tech team, without hiring one.

A dedicated squad of engineers, a designer and a tech lead who work only on your product, or a fractional CTO who owns your technical decisions part-time. Month to month, scaled up or down with 30 days' notice.

Part of Run & Partner: We stay with you long-term.

Hiring a senior engineering team takes months and a lot of equity. A Sora partnership gives you a working team in two weeks. The same people stay on your product, join your Slack, attend your standups and learn your business. When you're ready to hire in-house, we help you recruit and hand over.

Why teams choose Sora for Tech Partner

Started in two weeks

No recruiting cycle. Your team is introduced within a week and shipping in the second.

The same people, every month

We don't rotate engineers between clients. Continuity is the whole point.

Scale with 30 days' notice

Add an engineer before a launch, reduce after it. No long contracts.

Ready for due diligence

Clean repositories, documentation and architecture decisions that stand up to an investor's tech review.

Questions

How is this different from hiring freelancers?

Freelancers work alone and can disappear. A Sora team has a tech lead, shared standards and backup cover, and we're contractually accountable for delivery.

Can I interview the engineers?

Yes. We propose named people and you can meet each before they start.

What does a fractional CTO actually do?

Owns technical decisions part-time: architecture, vendor choices, hiring plans, security, and speaking for your tech in investor meetings.

What's the minimum commitment?

Three months to start, then month to month with 30 days' notice.

Can we hire the engineers later?

After 12 months, yes, with a transparent conversion fee. We'd rather you grow than lose people awkwardly.
