We do the work a CTO does: architecture, product strategy, team leadership, hands-on building. For founders who need a partner, not an agency.
Fully remote Working with founders in UK, EU, US, and Singapore
Most options make it harder.
They'll say yes to everything, bill by the hour, then vanish when things get hard. You get a "finished" product that breaks under real users.
Months of searching, then give up 20–50% of your company to someone you barely know.
Without technical experience, you can't evaluate their work. You won't know the code is bad until it's too late.
Four of our current clients came to us after getting burned by agencies. They'd spent months and tens of thousands on products that didn't work. We've seen the pattern enough to know: the system is broken.
Think of it as CTO as a service, but with real founder alignment. We work long-term, deeply invested, making decisions alongside you rather than just executing tickets. Unlike fractional CTO arrangements, we also build. We've spent 5+ years as the technical partner for startups that went on to raise Series A and B. We've rescued products from failed agencies. We've told founders their ideas won't work before taking their money.
Because often, we are. We take equity alongside fees on the right projects. When your product succeeds, we succeed. That changes everything about how we work.
How many people are actually working on your project. Whether the code is good or bad. Whether the problem is worth solving. Whether it's going to be hard. No bullshit, no happy ears.
Our longest partnership is 5+ years. Zero clients have left due to quality issues. They leave when they outgrow us: Series A, in-house team, acquisition. That's success.
We work with 4–5 companies at a time, no account managers juggling 20 clients, so you get direct access to the people actually doing the work.
Partner at Passion Capital
Not every founder has a technical co-founder from the start, so some of the best ideas depend on a strong development partner. Vuk and Hurricane are much more than an outsourced dev resource. The team behaves like a company co-founder and brings the startup agility and pragmatism needed to develop a first prototype, MVP, or 1.0, at a level of quality that satisfies even the most discerning corporate clients and investors. I always recommend Hurricane to our founders.
Product Lead, Fertifa
Working with Hurricane Studio has given us the best of both worlds: flexibility to manage burn and make the most of our limited runway, but best-in-class dev resources so we don't have to compromise on the quality of our platform.
Storm Survival
Building a product without a technical background? We're writing the guides we wish existed: how to evaluate agencies, spot red flags, know if your code is good, and avoid the mistakes that sink startups.
Read the guidesWe don't do sales calls. We do honest conversations about what you're building and whether we can help. Sometimes the answer is "you don't need us yet" or "here's what you should do instead." That's fine.
