The technical founder racing to a testable prototype
Early-stage hardware and robotics ventures paying for specialist capacity and releasing spend only as milestones clear.
What they want: Fast, milestone-based help coordinating structures, propulsion and guidance work, plus solid security and backend calculations.
Still unsolved for them
- Cross-functional coordination with structures, propulsion and guidance teams
- Strengthen security and authentication
- Backend work on finance and GHG calculations
The hardware team missing one critical skill
Engineering-led hardware firms with internal capacity but a specific gap, buying a discrete deliverable instead of adding headcount.
What they want: Ready implementations like SAE J1939 protocols, EMI-compliant power stages and remote support during integration.
Still unsolved for them
- Provide remote support during integration
- No existing SAE J1939 protocol implementation
- High-current high-voltage stage needs efficiency and EMI compliance
The firm buried under a drafting backlog
Engineering and fabrication firms with in-house design but no spare drafting bandwidth, buying repeatable overflow production.
What they want: Drafting that follows their templates, automates Revit setup and turns revisions around within a 20-minute SLA.
Still unsolved for them
- Follow provided templates and direction
- Improve and automate Revit template aspects
- Need rapid design revisions within 20-minute SLA
The consultancy chasing procurement buyers abroad
Specialist engineering consultancies whose growth limit is pipeline, investing in outreach and credibility assets for export markets.
What they want: Tools that build pipeline and credibility, plus capacity to deliver on the projects they are bidding for.
Still unsolved for them
- Historian and hydraulic-model data not reconciled into trusted record
- Design mobile unit for VOC/gas treatment
- Lack of capacity for projects being bid on
The services firm turning manual work into a platform
Established engineering and software firms building custom tooling to replace manual internal processes with integrated platforms.
What they want: ML inside ArcPro workflows, map dashboards on ArcGIS, Mapbox or Leaflet, and automated asset classification from point clouds.
Still unsolved for them
- Need to implement ML in ArcPro workflow
- React map dashboard with ArcGIS, Mapbox, or Leaflet
- No automated classification of transportation assets from point clouds
The project engineer facing regulatory review
Operators and engineering firms buying narrow, credentialed analysis to satisfy regulators on a capital project.
What they want: Reliable studies such as ETAP models, load checks for heavy equipment and completed vessel design calculations.
Still unsolved for them
- Need to ensure safe passage of heavy equipment on parking deck
- Build ETAP model including 11kV source
- Design calculations incomplete for existing vessel design
