We scope your project, recruit your developers, and Zak runs the build end to end. You own everything when it's done.
Most founders hit the same wall. A US agency quotes $150K and wants half upfront. A freelancer can't carry something serious. Hiring offshore directly sounds right — but then what?
Who do you hire first? What skills does your project need? How do you know if a developer is actually senior? How do you catch inflated hours before you've already paid?
Without a CTO to answer those questions, most founders either overpay, get burned, or stall out entirely — before a single line of code gets written.
That is the exact problem Startline was built to solve. We give founders the complete technical capability they're missing — scoped, staffed, and managed by Zak from day one.
No black boxes. No surprises. You know what's happening at every stage.
You get on a call with Zak — not a sales rep. He scopes the build, identifies the exact roles required, and gives you a real project plan before you commit a dollar.
Zak recruits directly against your project requirements. Every developer tested on the skills your build needs. You meet and approve the team before anyone starts.
Daily huddles. Milestone tracking. Code review. Zak knows when something is off — and catches it before it costs you. Weekly update to you. Never in the dark.
Code is yours. IP is yours. Developer relationships are yours. No lock-in. No ongoing fee. You hired us to build something. We built it. You own it.
These are projects Zak scoped, recruited for, and delivered personally.

Former software development professor. Zak doesn't just manage developers — he trained them. He knows exactly how long a build should take, what senior code looks like versus junior, and when someone is inflating hours or hiding a problem.
That knowledge is what protects you. That is what you are actually paying for.
Zak scopes the project on the call, tells you exactly what roles and skills you need, gives you a realistic cost range, and sends a written plan within 48 hours.
