Investors and portfolio companies

Accelerate every portfolio roadmap without adding headcount.

Roadmaps slip for the same reason in most portfolio companies: engineering capacity is bought one hire at a time. AIPOS OÜ runs a multi-agent system that builds, tests and documents production code around the clock, at a fixed price per scope. Each portfolio company keeps its own code and full intellectual property.

The situation

Capital is available. Engineering capacity is not.

An investor can fund a roadmap in a week. Turning that money into shipped product still depends on hiring, which is slow, uncertain and the same bottleneck in every company at once.

Velocity

Roadmaps are gated by hiring, not by capital

A funding round rarely turns into features quickly: open roles stay open, and the senior people who could ship are busy interviewing.

Comparability

Every company reports progress differently

Without a common, written way of scoping and accepting work, board-level comparisons of delivery across the portfolio rest on narrative.

Risk

Key-person dependency in small teams

When a portfolio company's roadmap lives in the heads of two engineers, a single resignation resets the plan.

What you get, compared with the alternative

What you get Investors and portfolio companies

A fixed-price delivery option any portfolio company can use

Each company requests its own scope; each receives a written scope description, a 72-hour trial build and a fixed quote. The investor gets a repeatable, written delivery model across the portfolio.

  • Written scope descriptions that boards and founders can read the same way
  • A trial build per company: a real part of its plan, within 72 hours of written confirmation
  • The full scope at one fixed price, quoted in writing after the trial
  • Tested, documented code delivered to the portfolio company as a package at every milestone
  • Full intellectual property to the portfolio company, every time
  • Separate, disposable build environments: no portfolio company's code shares an environment with another's

Compared with Hiring across the portfolio

The same bottleneck, multiplied

Each company competing for the same engineers, each carrying payroll before output. A fixed-price build turns a funded roadmap into committed code without the hiring queue, and leaves the companies free to hire with evidence.

  • Every company competes for the same engineers
  • Payroll runs before output in each company
  • Progress reported in narrative, not against written criteria
  • Key-person risk in every small team

Hiring versus ordering

24/7 from sign-off

Your project starts. It never stops.

A roadmap item in any portfolio company starts within hours of written sign-off and is worked on 24/7 until it is delivered, without adding headcount to that company. Months of team output, delivered in days.

01

Starts within hours

Work begins within hours of your written scope sign-off. No recruiting, no onboarding, no waiting for a sprint to open.

02

Runs around the clock

Autonomous and continuous until delivery: no nights off, no weekends, no handovers, no pauses.

03

Progress you can see daily

Every change is tested and committed in AIPOS OÜ's own secure development environment. You receive a written progress report every day, and tested code of your product is delivered at agreed milestones — in full after final payment.

04

Architecture agreed first

The architecture and specification are designed in-house by AIPOS OÜ and agreed with you in writing before any code is written.

Choose this if you need serious development capacity fast, without hiring a team.

The process

One model, repeated per company.

The portfolio company is always the client and always owns the result. The investor can introduce the model; the company runs it.

01

The company describes its scope

A founder or product lead sends the project description, technology, scope and deadline through the form and receives a written scope description.

02

Trial build, 72 hours

After written confirmation, a real piece of the roadmap is delivered within 72 hours: tested and documented, full IP to the company. Fixed price 9,900 euros.

03

Fixed quote for the roadmap slice

The company judges the output on its own code. If it continues, it receives one fixed price for the agreed scope; the trial price is deducted in full.

04

Repeat where it works

Each additional company or roadmap slice follows the same written process, so delivery across the portfolio becomes comparable.

Trust & delivery standards

Your systems stay untouched. Your product arrives tested.

All development happens in AIPOS OÜ's own secure environment. We never connect to your code hosting, servers, cloud accounts or development environment, so no outside party enters your systems and your supplier and security risk stays small. You receive tested code as a clean package, not half-finished changes in your main branch, and you follow progress every day without watching any technical tools.

Code quality

How the code is built and handed over

  • Tests and independent review. Every change passes the automated test suite and an independent review agent before it is merged.
  • Documentation, tests, history. You receive the documentation, the tests and the complete git history of your product's code.
  • No dependency on our tools. Code and intellectual property transfer to you without any dependency on AIPOS OÜ's tooling: the product builds, tests and runs from the delivered package with publicly available tools.
  • 30 days of free fixes. Defects found within 30 days of hand-over are fixed free of charge, within the written scope description.
Project delivery

How you verify the work without seeing our environment

  • Specification first. A written specification with measurable acceptance criteria, prepared by AIPOS OÜ and confirmed by you before development starts.
  • A written report every day. By e-mail: what was done, which tests passed, where the work stands against the criteria, the next step, and whether anything needs your answer.
  • Preview at every milestone. A password-protected preview link where you try your product working, at every milestone.
  • Code you can audit. At every milestone, a test report and the product's code at that point as a file package: run it yourself or have an independent developer audit it. The complete code follows final payment.
  • Written acceptance. You accept in writing against the agreed criteria. 50% is paid on scope confirmation and 50% only after acceptance; then 30 days of free defect fixing within the written scope. All communication is by e-mail.

Company details, security, warranty, payment and VAT terms in one place: Trust & delivery standards. The binding wording is in the terms of service.

Prices

Two steps, both at a fixed price.

You see the price before any work starts. There is no hourly billing and no staff rental. The trial build is a real piece of your plan, and its price comes off the main project in full.

Step 1 · Trial build
€9,900fixed · excl. VAT

A real part of your development plan, delivered within 72 hours of your written scope confirmation as a preview link, a test report and a code package. Full intellectual property to you. 50% on sign-off, 50% after written acceptance; 30 days of free defect fixing. Deducted in full from the main project.

Founding clients
€4,900first three clients · excl. VAT

The first three clients receive the trial build for 4,900 euros in exchange for a public reference once the work is delivered.

Step 2 · Main project
Fixedquoted in writing · excl. VAT

The whole scope at one fixed price, delivered in days and weeks. Every change is tested and committed. Every project is built on a software architecture and technical specification designed in-house by AIPOS OÜ — reviewed and agreed with you in writing before development begins.

A good fit when

Portfolio companies have roadmaps they cannot staff

  • Funded companies with a backlog that outruns hiring
  • Founders who can write down what should exist and accept it in writing
  • Boards that want delivery on the record, not in slide decks
  • Any stack; any country; remote only
Not a fit when

You want to place people, not buy results

  • Interim CTOs, fractional engineers or staff augmentation
  • Hourly billing across the portfolio
  • Small one-off tasks
  • Engagements that require calls or meetings

Questions

Questions investors ask.

Who is the client, the fund or the portfolio company?

The portfolio company. It requests the scope, confirms it in writing, receives the code as tested packages and holds the full intellectual property. An investor can introduce the model and read the written scope descriptions, but the contract is with the company.

Can several portfolio companies use the service at the same time?

Yes. Each project runs in its own separate, disposable environment with isolated containers and a locked-down network. No company's code shares an environment with another's, and each has its own written scope and fixed price.

How does this compare with placing a fractional CTO or engineers?

Those options add people, which adds management and payroll before output. We deliver a defined scope at a fixed price with the architecture designed in-house by AIPOS OÜ and agreed with you in writing, and the company decides afterwards whether to hire, with a working codebase in hand.

How is intellectual property handled?

Full intellectual property in the deliverables is transferred to the portfolio company. The platform and methodology used to produce the work remain with AIPOS OÜ. The details are set out in the individual written contract.

What is the smallest engagement?

The trial build: a real, bounded piece of a company's plan, delivered within 72 hours of written scope confirmation for 9,900 euros, deducted in full from the main project. The first three clients receive it for 4,900 euros against a public reference.

Do you publish results from other companies?

No. We publish no client logos, testimonials or invented numbers. Founding-client references will appear on the track record page as they are agreed in writing.
