Fractional IT Department · Pre-Seed to Series C
Your IT department for early stage —
built, then run from inside your systems.
The IT Plan stands up your IT program — devices, identity, security, compliance — then staffs it like the department you'd hire. Priced like a partner, structured like a hire, and always working with accounts in your platforms, not from behind a ticket queue.
- Stage-appropriate roles, scaled to your runway
- Security, risk & compliance built in from day one
- Everything documented as we go — no black-box hand-offs
- New office builds & hands-on implementation
The moment every early-stage company hits.
Early Stage · 5–50 headcount
You need IT, but can't justify the hire.
Teams manage their own software. HR buys laptops on Amazon. Access is granted in Slack and never revoked. Security questions are starting to arrive on customer questionnaires — and nobody owns the answer.
Growth Stage · 50+ headcount
The setup that got you here won't get you there.
Platforms are unmanaged, processes are tribal knowledge, and tooling overlaps team by team. Investors and enterprise customers are asking pointed IT security questions, and "we think so" is no longer an acceptable answer.
We build the program. Then we run it.
Step 1
Assess & build
We map your current state — every platform, device, access path, and risk — then stand up the IT program: identity and SSO, device management, security baseline, documentation, and the policies auditors ask for.
Step 2
Run it as your department
Our roles work inside your systems with administrator access, on your channels, during your hours. Onboarding, help desk, projects, vendor management — structured like hires, without the headcount.
Step 3
Document & prove
Every system, cost, and process is tracked in real time. When a customer questionnaire, investor diligence request, or audit arrives, the answers already exist.
Three roles, structured like full-time hires — scoped to your stage.
