Failsafe

There are a lot of reasons startups fail, but technical mistakes can end the journey before it's even started. You don't want to waste your great idea, hard work and funding by building the wrong thing, at the wrong time, in the wrong way.

That's why we founded Failsafe.

Working with Failsafe helps you lay the right foundations at every key milestone in your product's technical development.

  • We've seen it all before and already solved the problems you're struggling with.
  • We've worked with the smallest startups to the most powerful corporations and have witnessed all the ways it can go right and wrong.
  • We'll let you know when you're about to go sideways, making sure you get the best value from your funds.

How we work with you depends on the stage and needs of your software development.

Whether you're just getting started, find yourself stuck, or are ready to shoot for the moon, we can help.

What makes us different is that we don't want to make you dependent on us. We want to build your technical knowledge and expertise, enabling you to problem solve for yourself, as leaders of a growing software business.

Founders who work with us have shared that they:

  • Feel more confident in their technical knowledge.
  • Have better guidance on the best and right path.
  • Have a product people use and love.
  • Have their tech completely under control.
  • Have a plan fit for growth and development.
  • Understand what sustainable software development for the long-term looks like.
  • Are able to hire a CTO or onsite team, or pick another consultancy to manage the work, and be able to competently manage them.
