Strategic open-source foundation for cloud-native startups

A robust platform designed to bootstrap the entire technology stack from zero, delivering a self-hosted, cloud-agnostic, AI-enhanced, open-source foundation, combined with strategic fractional CTO leadership for startups operating in fast-moving, high-stakes environments.

Foundation

Digital solutions are launched and scaled with confidence, built on the Sofmon foundation, which emphasizes integrated security, dynamic scalability, and regulatory compliance from inception.

Convention

A codified set of technical conventions ensures consistent, secure, and scalable operations for containerized, multi-tenant cloud-native systems. It standardizes key practices for configuration management, inter-service communication, and structured data governance.

Blueprint

A comprehensive, production-grade project template that includes fully integrated modules for API routing, secure authentication, granular authorization, payment processing, and reference implementations across mobile, web, and desktop applications.

Operations

A next-generation, AI-powered operations engine that automates and simplifies development workflows — covering everything from local environment setup and cloud infrastructure provisioning to continuous deployments and real-time performance monitoring.

Governance

Strategic oversight delivered through expert fractional CTO engagement, enabling superior architectural decisions, effective team formation, and disciplined execution of engineering processes essential to long-term startup success.

Fractional CTO

A network of seasoned CTOs with deep fintech and startup credentials brings operational excellence to early-stage ventures.

These experts define the technological groundwork, assemble lean and efficient engineering teams, and implement cost-conscious strategies that maximize impact per euro and per hire.

Engagement

Each stage delivers hands-on expertise and continuous strategic input, ensuring momentum and focus are maintained.
