Helpdesk, administration, and IT leadership for Pre-Seed to Series C companies — priced like a partner, structured like a hire, and always on the inside of your systems.
Almost every early-stage company hits the same IT challenges. The solutions are out there — there's no need to start from scratch. We built The IT Plan as a standardized, repeatable playbook for getting an IT function off the ground without hiring a full-time CIO.
I've been building IT teams, technology, and processes at early-stage companies for 15 years. What I found is that most companies invest a massive amount of resources into operational functions — and they all encounter the same handful of IT challenges along the way.
The solutions are out there. There's no need to reinvent them. I created The IT Plan as a standardized, repeatable playbook to develop IT programs from scratch — so the next company doesn't have to start over.
We extend your org chart with roles available throughout the workday, functioning like full-time hires by working within your existing systems. First three months are month-to-month, then quarterly. You can add roles at any time, prorated to the commitment schedule, and reduce at term-end.
Projects begin and end according to scope and schedule, priced to your current state, with billing structured around delivery milestones. Site visits are included when local and capacity permits; otherwise a vetted local contractor passes through at $100–$150/hr. No charge if a visit is correcting our mistake.
We work within your systems, on your channels, with administrator-level access. No black-box hand-offs.
Every system, cost, and process tracked in real time. Continuity is the deliverable, not a side effect.
Roles scale with stage. Add capacity when you grow; reduce at term-end without penalty.
Three role-based monthly engagements plus one-time projects. First three months are month-to-month, then quarterly. Add roles or expand scope anytime, prorated to your commitment schedule.
Your day-to-day help desk and hardware lifecycle owner. Onboarding, offboarding, and the "how do I…" channel.
Platform & SaaS lifecycle, project implementation, device management, and quarterly security reviews.
Strategy, governance, and compliance SME across IT, security, and AI tooling. The system that behaves like a CIO.
