Equity-aligned partners across Canada and the US
The Stakewell Model
We replace your entire pipeline.
A fully managed engineering team and AI agents at Indian market cost, in exchange for equity. We only win when you win.
01
Fully Managed Engineering Team
We recruit, hire, manage, and retain your developers. CTO advisory, QA, DevOps. You never post a job again.
02
Indian Market Cost
60 to 70% below Western rates. A fully managed team plus AI agents costs less than one Toronto developer.
03
Equity Aligned Across Both
We take a small equity stake instead of fees, for engineering and AI both. We only win when you win.
04
Fully Managed AI Agents
Custom AI agents built on Corteron, our proprietary AI infrastructure. Sales, marketing, operations, customer success. Built and maintained by us.
Three Cities, One Team
Toronto handles client relations. Ahmedabad and Delhi run engineering. Two of India's most productive tech corridors, fully activated for you.
Up and Running in Days
Apply, then we build your roadmap, deploy your team and AI agents simultaneously.

Who We Work With
We're selective. On purpose.
At thin margins with equity on the line across both engineering and AI, the quality of our partners matters as much to us as it does to them.
