Ether

For founders about to scale

Get back to running the company.
We'll ship the product.

Growth is coming and engineering is what keeps you up at night: the hiring, the slipping roadmap, the code you're still writing yourself. Hand it to us. We start tomorrow and ship at a pace no single hire can match.

Our promise

If we haven't delivered within three weeks, let us go.

Shipping today

PreMan

Ether is shipping production software for PreMan today, inside their codebase, on their roadmap.

Where you probably are

You don't need a hire. You need the work done.

The roadmap is slipping. Customers are waiting on things you promised.

Your engineers are underwater, or the engineer is you.

A good hire takes months to find and months more to ramp. The deadlines don't move while you wait.

So skip the wait. Hand us the work.

What you get

Outcomes, not hours.

You won't get timesheets or status decks.

You get shipped work.

  • The feature your customers keep asking for, shipped.
  • The bug that's costing you users, fixed.
  • Releases that go out without breaking production.
  • Code your next hire can actually pick up.
  • Your own hours back for customers and fundraising.

Every change goes through your review. An engineer from our team owns delivery alongside Ether, so there is always a person to call.

Why it's fast without breaking things

Ether learns your codebase and how your company makes decisions, so speed doesn't cost you production.

The first three weeks

Judge us on
what ships.

  1. 01 / Tomorrow

    We're in your repo.

    Give us access and the most urgent thing on your list. No onboarding project, no scoping document.

  2. 02 / Week one

    Code in production.

    Real fixes and features, reviewed by you and merged. Not demos, not sandbox tasks.

  3. 03 / Week three

    You decide.

    If what we shipped isn't clearly worth it, end it. Nothing to unwind.

No long contract. If we don't do well in the first three weeks, you can get rid of us.

Start with what's urgent

Give us the work that can't wait.

01

The feature a customer is waiting on

Scoped, tested, and in their hands, not stuck on next sprint's board.

02

The bug that's costing you users

Traced through the system and fixed with the smallest change that holds.

03

Releases that take all week

Builds, deploys, and the drag that eats your team's best hours.

04

The code nobody wants to touch

The service everyone routes around. We learn it and make it safe to change again.

After week three

The longer we work together, the faster we ship.

What Ether learns on one change is already loaded for the next, so each week it takes on more of your roadmap.
