solutions.io / Safe Room

Own What You Built

Right now your code, servers and accounts are probably tied to one person's login. That's normal. It's also the first thing investors check, and you're the one they'll ask. Safe Room fixes it in three months.

Why now

You and your technical co-founder trust each other. That's the point. Investors don't think about it that way, though. They've seen enough startups to know the first CTO is usually gone in 18 to 24 months. Nothing goes wrong, exactly. The job just turns into a different job. Better to sort it out now than after.

Early setups happen fast. A co-founder builds the first version, a freelancer helps out, someone spins up a cloud account on a personal login. None of it was a mistake. It just means nobody wrote down what the company owns.

So the question isn't whether you trust anyone. It's how many people could get your systems back up next week if the one who built them wasn't around. Investors ask a version of this early.

Your call

Think of it like a vesting schedule or a shareholder agreement. Not something you do because you distrust your co-founder, but something you put in place because you trust each other.

We work closely with your technical team, and most technical co-founders end up glad it exists. But the decision to start is yours. You answer to the investors and the cap table. It shouldn't be filed under "IT."

Leapfunder selected solutions.io as their trusted technical partner to help startups build investor-ready, scalable technology infrastructure.

Why Leapfunder recommends us

"Early-stage companies need technical leadership without the full-time commitment. solutions.io provides exactly that, plus the insurance policy that founders and investors both need: knowing the technology won't disappear if a key person leaves."

The 3-Month Program

€500/month · €1,500 total · agreed before we start

Month 1: Assessment

We find everything your company runs on and work out who actually owns it. You get a written report in plain language, and a list of what to fix first.

Month 2: Implementation

We fix the worst gaps and help you set up your Safe Room: backups and access that live in the company's own accounts, not in someone's personal login. Your team carries on shipping while we do it.

Month 3: Handoff

You get everything in writing, and you keep it. Credentials, backups, documentation, all of it yours. We're happy to stay on after that, but you won't need us to keep this running.

What is a Safe Room?

Your technology is your business. You should actually own it.

Most teams find out what they don't control at the worst possible moment. A developer moves on and takes the only copy of the code with them. A freelancer's AWS account is still in their name. Someone is on holiday and nobody else has the login.

A Safe Room is the fix. We check who legally owns what, and make sure access sits with the company instead of one person's personal login.

You'll hopefully never need it. But you'll always know exactly where it is.

The Benefits

This is what investors check in technical due diligence. Turning up with ownership already verified is a point in your favor, not a box you scrambled to tick. When a board member asks how you're covered if a key person goes, the answer is already written down.

We confirm on paper that the company owns its repositories, cloud accounts and critical dependencies, rather than someone's personal account. If a person leaves, you are not locked out of your own business.

Everything we set up is yours. No platform to stay subscribed to, no account of ours sitting in the middle, nothing that stops working if you stop paying us.

We help you set up encrypted backups in German or EU data centers, so GDPR and data sovereignty are covered. They live in your company's own accounts, under your own credentials. We don't hold a copy.

New tools get added, people join and leave, permissions drift. We leave you a simple way to check your Safe Room is still doing its job, without needing a technical review every time.

About us

Who you'll work with

I'm Danny. I lead your engagement myself, so you're never handed to an account manager. I've spent fourteen years building remote teams and helping early-stage companies pick boring technology that keeps working.

I started the Safe Room after watching founders lose weeks to problems nobody had thought to prevent. It's rarely dramatic. Usually it's just that the person who set something up is the only one who knows how it works. You shouldn't have to become technical to fix that. That's my job.

Behind me is the senior development team at solutions.io, so when we find something that needs real work, there's capacity to do it.

Frequently asked questions

The questions founders usually ask us before they start.

Normally, sure. But this is the exception. The Safe Room exists to verify that your company isn't dependent on any one person, including your most trusted technical co-founder. That's a founder and board-level call, the same category as a vesting schedule or a shareholder agreement, not a vendor decision to hand off. We work closely with your technical team once we start. We just don't think the decision to start should go through them first. Feel free to ask them about your current situation though. Maybe it's all taken care of.

€500/month for the 3-month program as a Leapfunder startup. That's €1,500 total, down from our standard €750/month. The price is fixed and agreed before we start, with no hourly billing and no surprise invoices. If we find something outside the program's scope along the way, we'll tell you before doing any additional work.

That's the situation the Safe Room is built for. Month 1 maps what the company depends on and who holds it, so if someone leaves partway through, you already know what they were sitting on and we can finish without them.

No. We work alongside your existing team, or help you build one. The Safe Room is about ownership and control, not replacing your developers.

Even better. We can set up proper ownership from day one, before decisions get made that are hard to unpick later.

No. Most companies do it while everything is calm and everyone is still around, either as insurance or to get ready for due diligence.

A fractional CTO gives you ongoing technical leadership. The Safe Room is narrower: a fixed three months on ownership and continuity, and then it ends. Plenty of companies do the Safe Room first and add fractional CTO hours later if they want them.

If you have any code in production, any paying customers, or any infrastructure running, you're not too early. The earlier you sort out ownership, the less painful it is.

AWS, Google Cloud, Hetzner, GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, common SaaS tools, and most modern development stacks. If we can't support something, we'll tell you upfront.
