Mentoring
Building it yourself? Bring an engineer with you.
Senior engineers alongside you while you build, whatever you are building it with. Someone to think with, to review your work, and to answer the question that has had you stuck all afternoon. Monthly, cancel any time.
Start a conversationWho it's for
The professional handed a project
You work in operations, finance, marketing, or elsewhere in the business, and you have been asked to build a tool, an automation, or an internal app. Headcount is hard to get, contractor budget is harder, and both take months to sign off. A service subscription is a line on a purchase order: no hiring, no contractor onboarding, none of the status questions that come with bringing an individual in. You keep building, with senior engineers a call away.
The non-technical founder
You are building your MVP yourself, in Lovable, Cursor, Glide, or by hand, and there is no engineer to ask. You get straight answers, reviews of what you have built, and someone to think through the next step with, every week, for as long as you are building.
The technical founder, first product
You can code, but you have not shipped and run a product before. Architecture, hosting, security, what to test and what to leave for later. Experience on tap so you spend your time building, not second-guessing, and you level up as you go.
For businesses
Expert support as a service, not a hire.
More is being built by the people closest to the problem, not by IT. That is a good thing until they get stuck, or ship something that handles customer data without anyone senior having looked at it. Mentoring gives your team a senior engineer on call for a fixed monthly fee. It is bought as a service, so it is easier to approve than a hire or a contract, carries none of the employment-status baggage of engaging an individual, and adds nothing to your headcount. Cover one person or a whole team.
What you get
Someone in your corner
A named senior engineer who knows your product and your goals, week after week. Not a helpdesk.
A regular call
Think out loud, brainstorm, work through the hard problem. Leave with a decision and a next step.
Questions between calls
Async access to your engineer, with a response inside one working day. Stuck for minutes, not days.
Reviews as you go
We read what you are building and tell you what is fine, what is fragile, and what to fix first. Security and data handling included whenever it matters, not just before launch.
Decisions, faster and cheaper
Which tool, which host, what it will cost, when a shortcut is fine and when it will bite. Twenty years of mistakes you do not have to make.
You get better at this
Every session leaves you more capable and more confident. The aim is that you need us less, not more.
How it works
Intro call
A short conversation about what you are building and where you are stuck.
Pick a cadence
Weekly or fortnightly, on a monthly subscription. Invoiced or paid by card.
Start next week
Your first session is booked and you have a direct line to a senior engineer.
When you outgrow it
If the product takes off and you want us to build with you, or to harden what you have made into something production-grade, that is what the rest of Mayker does. See how we work.
