Technical Help for AI Startups, From Solo Founder to Scale-Up
Pick the stage you're at. Each path lists the fixed-scope offers that matter most right now, delivered by NomadX and its specialist sister practices.
You Built It With AI. Now Make It Safe to Ship.
One founder, AI coding agents, real users arriving. The risks are predictable: leaked keys, missing access checks, a surprise LLM bill, and nobody senior to ask. Start with a vibe code audit, then add leadership when you need it.
Vibe Code Audit
Five-day, fixed-scope production-readiness and security review of your AI-built app, with a ranked fix list.
Fractional AI CTO
A named senior technical lead on call, backed by a team that can build what gets decided.
MVP in 7 Days
Rebuild the prototype properly, or build the next version, with senior engineers directing AI agents.
LLM Cost Control
Cut AI API spend with caching, model routing and budget caps before the bill outgrows revenue.
LLM App Pentest
Prompt injection, key exposure and data leakage testing for apps with AI features.
AI Search Visibility Audit
Find out whether ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity cite your product, and what to fix.
Two Founders, a First Enterprise Deal and a Raise Coming Up
Small team, real traction, and now the hard questions: security questionnaires, SOC 2, investor technical due diligence, hallucinations in a customer pilot. These offers get you through them without hiring a full team first.
Fractional AI CTO
Architecture, cost, security and hiring leadership, plus raise-ready due diligence prep.
Enterprise Readiness & SOC 2
Compliance and governance groundwork so security reviews stop stalling your deals.
GenAI Application QA Sprint
Find hallucinations, unsafe outputs and edge-case failures before your customer's pilot does.
LLM Evaluation
An evaluation harness that measures answer quality on every change, not just at launch.
Mobile App Development
iOS and Android apps in React Native, built in-house, with on-device and cloud AI features.
Web Application Pentest
The independent pentest report enterprise buyers and investors ask for.
Many Engineers, Many Agents, One Bill That Keeps Growing
Once AI is in production at scale, the problems change: inference and AI-coding spend, agent reliability under load, governance of AI-written code, and enterprise customers asking for evidence. These are programs, not quick fixes.
AI & GPU Cost Governance
FinOps for inference, GPUs and AI coding tools, with budgets and unit costs per team.
AI/ML Infrastructure on Kubernetes
Inference platforms, GPU scheduling and self-host vs API decisions, built for scale.
MLOps Foundation Sprint
Pipelines, model registry, monitoring and evaluation gates for ML and LLM systems.
Secure CI/CD for AI-Written Code
Review policy, secret scanning and quality gates for teams shipping with AI coding agents.
Agentic Red Team
Adversarial testing of production agents, tools and MCP integrations.
Pre-Launch Load Test
Prove your LLM endpoints and APIs hold up at launch-day and peak traffic.
AI changed who starts companies. More products are now built by one or two founders with AI coding agents, and some of them reach real revenue before they hire anyone. What hasn’t changed is the list of things that go wrong on the way to production: data that leaks, bills that spike, security reviews that stall a deal, and code nobody can explain to an investor.

Founder Guides
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of startups does NomadX work with?
AI startups at three stages: solo founders building with AI coding agents, seed-stage teams chasing their first enterprise customers or a raise, and scale-ups with many engineers and AI in production. We're based in Dubai and work with founders in the UAE, the GCC and globally.
Do you only give advice, or do you build too?
Both. A fractional AI CTO owns the technical decisions, and the NomadX practice team builds, secures and tests what gets decided. Specialist work like penetration testing, cost governance and load testing is delivered by our sister practices listed on this page.
How do you price startup work?
Every offer here is a fixed fee for a fixed scope, or a fixed monthly fee for ongoing work. We don't bill hourly. Send a short request and we reply with the scope, price and start date, usually within one business day.
Where should a solo founder start?
If you have users or are about to, start with a vibe code audit. It tells you in five business days what has to be fixed before launch, a customer deal or a raise. If the app is solid and you need ongoing senior judgment, start with the fractional CTO instead.
Can you help us get ready for investor due diligence?
Yes. Raise-ready technical due diligence prep is part of the fractional CTO engagement: we review the codebase the way an investor's reviewer would, fix or document the red flags, and build the technical data room.
