Start free. We build one piece of your software in about 2 weeks. How it works

What we do

One team runs your software.

Your company grew. The cost showed up in payroll, in money that leaked, and in your own week. You do not need more developers waiting for a to-do list. You need a team that decides, builds, and stays.

You get to be a tech founder. You do not have to be the CTO, and you do not have to manage the team.

The goal is not to make you better at managing technology. It is to leave you less technology to manage. See how we work.

What it costs

The company grew. The systems didn’t. Here is the bill.

These are not tool problems. They show up on payroll, on growth you turned down, and on hours you did not spend selling.

  • Payroll grows to cover for the systems

    Every new customer means another person to move data between your tools. Payroll grows faster than revenue, because people are doing the system’s job.

  • You cannot grow without another workaround

    You can’t add a location, a product, or a big customer without another spreadsheet everyone is afraid to touch. Your systems decide how fast you grow.

  • Money leaks between the tools

    Every month, some money leaks: work you did and did not bill, orders fixed twice, mistakes a customer found before you did.

  • One person is the operating manual

    If one person quits or gets sick, nobody knows how payroll, orders, or the app actually work. That is risk on the thing that makes you money.

  • You are the CTO by default

    You referee vendors and developers because nobody else can. Every hour in a tech meeting is an hour you are not selling.

  • The product stops when you are away

    Developers wait for you. Customers don’t. When you are selling or traveling, the work stops, and a customer tells you first.

  • Promises with nobody behind them

    You promise customers it works. Behind that promise are tools stitched together and nobody whose job is to keep them running.

  • The company is worth less than the work in it

    A buyer, a bank, or a partner looks behind the screen and sees spreadsheets and a freelancer. That makes a real company look risky.

How we take this off your plate

Proof, not promises

Different businesses. Same reason they called us.

They needed one team to understand the business, make technical decisions, do the work, and keep improving. Every engagement below is still running.

“I don’t see you as a vendor. I see you as part of my team.”

How we start

It starts with a free prototype.

You apply. We talk for 30 minutes. If we say yes, we build one piece of your software in about 2 weeks. Real code. Free. You see our work before you pay.

We build up to 3 prototypes a month. Not for class projects, side projects, or marketing websites.

Questions we get before the call

What does 21 Solutions do?

We are your technology team. We build and run the software your business runs on. We learn how the business works, decide what to build, build it, and stay to fix and improve it. You pay one price each month.

Do we need custom software?

Not always. We will say no when connecting tools you already have, a process change, or nothing yet is the better move. We are paid monthly, not by the project, so telling you to do less does not hurt us.

We already have developers. Can you still help?

Often, yes. Good developers execute well and still need someone to decide what is worth building, how the systems fit together, and what needs attention next. We can fill that role and work alongside internal developers, IT teams, IT providers, and software vendors.

Why wouldn’t we just hire a CTO?

Sometimes that is the right answer. The real question is whether you want to find, manage, keep, and build a whole software team around that person. A strong engineering leader takes months to find and can leave with everything they know about your systems in their head. Here a senior team is in place from week one, and that knowledge lives with the firm.

What does it cost?

The call and the prototype are free. After that, pick a plan. Startup is $5,000 a month. Business is $10,000 a month. Enterprise is $20,000 a month. Month to month. Stop with 30 days’ notice. See the plans.

What happens after launch?

We stay involved. We fix, improve, support, and keep making technical decisions as the business changes. Every client engagement shown on this page is still running. See how we work.
