Problem
Early-stage founders often lack the technical expertise to evaluate product architecture, choose appropriate technology stacks, and ensure security best practices, leading to costly rework, exposed credentials, and delayed launches.

The service scans codebases to detect security risks such as exposed API keys and embedded credentials, then generates detailed remediation plans. It also produces product requirement documents with user stories to align development with business goals. By delivering actionable insights quickly, First CTO helps founders make informed decisions about what to build, how to structure it, and when to ship, reducing technical debt and security exposure.
