Your CTO & Dev Team

"From Idea to Launch — Without the Technical Headaches"

You have the vision. We handle the architecture, code, and deployment — so you can focus on customers, not pull requests. Fixed scope. You own the code. We stay until you're live.

Our mission

Solo founders don't need a dev agency — they need a technical partner who thinks like a co-founder. At PAUN IO we protect your runway by scoping tightly, building transparently, and handing over code you fully own. We've helped 20+ founders go from idea to paying customers.

You focus on the business. We make sure the technology never holds you back.

MVP Development & CTO-as-a-Service

Three stages designed around how solo founders actually build products — validating fast, shipping with confidence, and growing without rewrites.

A one-week Discovery Sprint to turn your idea into a fundable, buildable technical blueprint.

  • For You: A concrete roadmap with prioritized features, estimated costs, and honest trade-offs — so you know exactly what you're committing to before writing a single check.

  • Our Work: Idea-to-spec workshops, user story mapping, data model design, API architecture, cloud cost estimates, and a signed-off project roadmap. The sprint fee is credited toward your build.

  • Discovery Sprint
  • Tech Blueprint
  • Architecture Design
  • Cloud Architecture
  • Cost Estimate
  • AI Strategy

We build your MVP in two-week sprints — you see working software every fortnight, not just promises.

  • For You: Full visibility without needing to read code. You get a live demo every sprint, a shared task board, and a 30-day post-launch warranty. The source code and cloud accounts are yours from day one.

  • Our Work: End-to-end product development including user authentication, payment integration, admin dashboard, and deployment to a cloud account you own. Milestone-based payments — you never pay for work you haven't seen.

  • User Auth
  • Payments
  • Admin Dashboard
  • Cloud Deploy
  • Fixed Price
  • Code Ownership

A dedicated monthly retainer to keep your product improving after launch — without hiring a full-time engineer.

  • For You: A predictable monthly cost for bug fixes, small features, performance improvements, and scaling advice. Cancel or pause anytime. No retainer lock-in.

  • Our Work: 10–20 hours/month of dedicated engineering time, bi-weekly strategy calls, conversion and performance optimisation, third-party integrations, and scalability architecture as your user base grows.

20+ MVPs Built for Solo Founders

Our engineers hold certifications across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud — meaning your product runs on infrastructure we know inside out. No learning on your budget.

“20+ MVPs built for solo founders.”

“We've shipped user auth, payment integrations, admin dashboards, and cloud deployments — across industries, on time, and within budget. You get engineers who've solved your exact problem before.”

Your Dedicated CTO & Engineering Team

A small, senior team — not a rotating pool of juniors.
The same people scope your project, build it, and support it after launch.

Pricing

Productized packages built around how solo founders actually buy — no open-ended hourly unknowns. Milestone payments. No surprises.

Micro-MVP

Fixed scope, fixed price

How it works

We agree on a tight scope upfront: user auth, payment integration, admin dashboard, and cloud deployment to an account you own. Paid in milestones — 30% upfront, 30% at design sign-off, 40% at launch. Includes a 30-day post-launch warranty.

Ideal for

Founders who want to validate their idea with real users without writing a blank cheque. Best for first-time builders who need a complete, production-ready product.

Most Popular

Growth Retainer

10–20 hrs/month dedicated

How it works

A fixed monthly fee for a dedicated block of senior engineering time. Bi-weekly strategy calls, a shared task board, and a rolling backlog you control. Pause or cancel with 30 days' notice.

Ideal for

Founders who have launched and need a reliable technical partner to ship improvements, fix bugs, and prepare for scale — without the overhead of a full-time hire.

Discovery Sprint

1-week fixed engagement

How it works

A focused one-week sprint to audit your idea, map the architecture, and produce a scoped roadmap with cost estimates. The sprint fee is credited toward your Micro-MVP if you proceed.

Ideal for

Founders who have an idea but aren't ready to commit to a full build. Leaves you with a blueprint you can take anywhere — no obligation to continue with us.
