We distinguish between the needs of established organizations and those of venture teams. Each group receives dedicated pods, defined timelines, and clear metrics so you stay in control of budget, risk, and learning.

During or shortly after founding, startups face multiple challenges at once: fundraising, hiring, building internal processes, navigating legal questions, and showing progress fast enough to secure existing or future investment. That is where CIATA steps in.

1. MVP acceleration (8-12 weeks)

We deliver production-ready MVPs that unite data, product, and UX.

• Problem sprint: We sharpen the value proposition, prioritize the AI core, and define traction metrics.
• Rapid build: Our team ships data pipelines, models, and a lightweight front end or API that can be tested immediately.
• Go-to-market readiness: We prepare demo data, pitch material, and technical due diligence documentation.

Outcome: A validated MVP you can show to investors, pilot customers, or your own sales team.

2. Tech-for-equity & venture studio

When needed we share risk and take part in the upside.

• Shared risk: We combine a cash fee with a small equity stake so ambitious projects stay possible even with tight budgets.
• Senior leadership on demand: CTO-level expertise supports architecture, security, and team building.
• Research-to-product: We transfer research output or IP straight into your product.

Outcome: A partner who shares the outcome and prepares your product for the next funding round.

3. Recruiting bridge & CTO sparring

We help founding teams hire their first ML engineers and onboard them systematically.

• Talent funnel: Access to our network of data scientists and AI engineers.
• Interview-as-a-service: We run technical deep dives and pair-programming sessions so you can hire with confidence.
• Onboarding & coaching: New hires receive documentation, pairing sessions, and clear milestones.

Outcome: You build a resilient internal team that can own the systems we deliver.
