About
An IT function,
built for early stage.
Almost every early-stage company hits the same IT challenges. The solutions exist, no one needs to start from scratch. The IT Plan is a standardized, repeatable playbook for getting an IT function off the ground without hiring a full-time CIO.
Fifteen years of the same problems, solved once.
I've been building IT teams, technology, and processes at early-stage companies for fifteen years. What I found is that companies invest enormously in operational functions, and hit the same handful of IT challenges along the way, every time.
The solutions are out there. There's no need to reinvent them company by company. I created The IT Plan as a standardized, repeatable playbook for developing IT programs from scratch, so the next company doesn't have to start over.
"Technology is more cultural than it is technical. When you see IT through this lens, better solutions appear."

Three principles, applied everywhere.
i.
Inside, not outside.
We work within your systems, on your channels, with administrator-level access and accounts in your platforms. No black-box hand-offs, no "vendor" arm's length.
ii.
Documented as we go.
Every system, cost, and process tracked in real time. Continuity is the deliverable, not a side effect. If we disappeared tomorrow, your next IT hire inherits a documented environment.
iii.
Priced to your runway.
Roles scale with stage. Add capacity when you grow; reduce at term-end without penalty. Pricing is published, because the sales-call-to-get-a-number ritual serves the vendor, not you.
Structured like hires, governed like contracts.
Monthly roles function like full-time hires inside your existing systems, documented coverage hours, your channels, your platforms. First three months are month-to-month, then quarterly; add roles anytime prorated, reduce at term-end. Projects are scoped, flat-priced, and milestone-billed. Site visits are included when local and capacity permits; otherwise a vetted local contractor at $100 to $150/hr, free when the visit corrects our own mistake.
