Tech consulting
We help founders and operators choose stacks, plan products, audit codebases and decide what to build, buy or retire.
Overview
Many expensive software mistakes happen in the first month: the wrong platform, an agency brief that misses the real problem, an architecture that cannot grow. We help you avoid them. As a fractional technical partner, we review plans, codebases and vendor proposals, and give written recommendations with the trade-offs spelled out. Engagements range from a single audit to an ongoing advisory role. Our advice comes from building, so it accounts for cost, hiring and maintenance, not only what looks good on a diagram.

06 — Why Foxbeta
01
Advisers who build
Our recommendations come from engineers who ship production software, not from slide decks.
02
Written and specific
You get concrete recommendations with reasons and trade-offs, not a vague list of best practices.
03
No obligation to hire us
Our advice stands on its own. Many reports end with a plan your in-house team or another vendor can follow.
04
Context across markets
We understand the differences in payments, compliance and hosting between India, the Gulf and Western markets.
