Founder-led engineers.
Not an agency.
We embed as fractional CTOs, founding engineers, and AI/LLM teams inside your Slack—not behind ticket queues. The same operators who scaled Rupa Health from Seed to Series A and OddsJam through acquisition.
Most dev shops treat you like a ticket queue.
You get rotating contractors who don't understand your product, account managers who buffer every conversation, and engineers who disappear when things get hard.
You need a partner who operates like a co-founder.

“Aravind is in the top 1% of engineers I've hired. He supported us from $100K to $5M ARR, keeping us shipping through crazy growth and investor scrutiny.”
“HyperNest helped us build Dromo from zero to one and continues to be a critical partner as we scale. Their founding engineer embedded with our team like a full-time hire—shipping features, owning reliability, and never needing to be managed.”
“They shipped like founding engineers—ruthless about user impact and quality. I trusted them with every investor conversation.”
“Aravind is one of the most talented engineers I've had the pleasure of working with. He's in the top 1% of engineers I've worked with globally.”
“When we got hit by a cyberattack, Aravind didn't just fix the breach—he rebuilt our entire platform in 48 hours and made it bulletproof. That's the kind of partner every founder needs.”
