Your technical co-founder - without giving up half your company .

We do the work a CTO does: architecture decisions, product strategy, team leadership, hands-on building. For non-technical founders who need a technical partner, not another agency.

Building a product without a technical co-founder is hard.

Most options make it harder.

Hire an agency?

They'll say yes to everything, bill by the hour, and disappear when the project gets difficult. You'll get a "finished" product that breaks under real users.

Find a technical co-founder?

You'll spend months searching, then give up 20-50% of your company to someone you barely know.

Hire developers directly?

Without technical experience, you can't evaluate their work. You won't know if the code is good 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.

We're not an agency. We're your technical co-founder on contract.

Think of it as CTO as a service, but with real founder alignment. We work long-term, deeply invested, making decisions with you—not 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.

We act like owners

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.

We tell you the truth

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.

We stay

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're selective

We work with 4-5 companies at a time. No account managers juggling 20 clients. When you're working with us, we're actually working with you.

"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."

"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: Guides for Non-Technical Founders

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 guides

Not sure if we're the right fit? Let's find out.

We 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.
