A 4-person AI company had to clear investor security diligence before a funding tranche could close.
A pre-launch AI startup needed to pass an investor-required security review before receiving their next funding tranche. With a live data pipeline, ML model infrastructure, and a public API in staging, we ran a security assessment and built a defensible posture in three weeks.
What They Had In Common
Founders needed a technical partner who could move before the window closed.
Both teams were under external pressure. Procurement and diligence were already in motion. The useful work was not more strategy decks. It was turning risk into a clear delivery plan, implementing the highest-leverage fixes, and leaving behind something the team could defend.
Pressure

Approach
Fix the highest-risk gaps first and make the work evidentiary.
Outcome
The technical sprint directly changed the business result.
