Evidence from 30+ engagements
Nine illustrative stories — anonymized, but every challenge, decision, and outcome is drawn from real Archa engagements with founders, engineering leaders, and investors.
Removing the bus-factor from a Series B fintech
One engineer held 70% of the production knowledge. Investors noticed.
Untangling a 'microservices' platform that was really a distributed monolith
Twelve services, one shared database, every deploy a coordinated risk.
Acting CTO for a healthtech founder between hires
A non-technical founder. A board pushing for HIPAA. No CTO in sight.
Turning ten engineers into a team that ships like fifty
Same headcount, half the velocity of last year. The org chart was the bottleneck.
From founder pitch to validated prototype in six weeks
A sharp idea, a non-technical founding team, and one shot at a pre-seed round.
Turning a research notebook into a defensible product
An impressive demo built in a notebook. No product. No moat. No path to revenue.
Pre-investment DD that killed a deal — and saved a fund $14M
The pitch deck claimed enterprise-grade. The codebase told a different story.
Quarterly tech monitoring across a 12-company portfolio
Twelve portfolio companies. Twelve different tech narratives. Zero consistent signal.
Investor-grade assessment that reset a Series B narrative
The CEO was telling investors a story the engineering team couldn't back up.
