The AWS bill compounded. The next round wants AI defensibility. The team is stretched.
What worked at series A is creaking. What you need at series C is hard to scope without senior architectural input.
For engineer-led Australian startups that have outgrown the "AWS API Gateway and call it done" stage. APISIX gateways, AI products that survive a release, sovereign infrastructure without enterprise-tier pricing.
What worked at series A is creaking. What you need at series C is hard to scope without senior architectural input.
And the wrong calls now (vendor lock-in, model dependency, gateway choice) compound through every subsequent funding round.
Engineer-direct, fixed-scope, no enterprise-tier pricing. We help you make the right calls now so the next round is a conversation about growth, not technical debt.
Per-request gateway pricing, Lambda invocations, data transfer. The AWS-only stack made sense at series A. At series B it is a recurring board question.
The first prompt worked. The second one regressed silently. Now nobody can tell whether the latest model release made the product better or worse.
Your customers have grown into enterprises that ask procurement questions. The 'we use OpenAI' answer doesn't hold up at the regulator's level.
Engineers stretched across product, infra, gateway, integrations and AI. Senior architectural input on demand is what is missing, not headcount.
When AI is the product. Architecture, evaluation harnesses, vendor liquidity. Built so you can swap models without rebuilding the product.
