Engineering teams for startup success
We want our startups to succeed
After the initial rush of getting started and finding funding, there’s a certain anxiety we startup leaders feel as our companies grow.
Will the software work? Will it scale? Will it pass this security audit? This due diligence?
Most importantly, can we find product market fit before the money runs out?
Kelsus has learned how to make software at the speed of startups but without these anxieties.

What do you need for your startup?

A complete software engineering team
Whether your startup is building something complex that needs a dedicated designer, product manager, and engineering team or something simple that needs some quick design help and one or two engineers we can help, and we can right size the team to your burn rate.

Seed capital to get you to MVP quickly
Kelsus invests in some but not all of our clients. If there’s a good fit, we’ll contribute $25,000-$50,000 to your seed or pre-seed round.
The biggest benefit of an investment from Kelsus is that it leads to a natural alignment of Kelsus’s interests and those of the other investors and shareholders of your startup.

"I really appreciated the willingness of Kelsus to work with us early on and quickly share our vision for Specdrums. We've continued to work with their team post-acquisition since they've become a strong software development partner and have proven to be critical to the success of our product." Steven Dourmashkin | Specdrums Founder / Sphero Product Manager
"Everyone told me I needed a technical Co-Founder. Go find a CTO and then come talk to us. In my search, Jon reached out and explained Kelsus. He has been my hired gun CTO, advisor, scalable engineering team, and I didn’t have to give up a huge chunk of equity. I give Kelsus my highest recommendation and absolutely love working with them." Scott Patterson | Tumble.to Founder
