The Technical Judgment Layer
for AI-Assisted Teams.

Vermillion exists because speed without judgment destroys company value. Modern engineering teams move faster than ever, often supported by AI that can write plausible code but cannot judge long term consequences. Temporary shortcuts harden into permanent constraints, architecture choices compound into rewrites, and investor or acquirer scrutiny reveals problems that cost months and hundreds of thousands of dollars to fix. Founders deserve a partner who prevents those disasters before they start.

We are the technical judgment layer for consumer app founders who are shipping faster than they fully understand. For more than 15 years we have built full stack products and helped founders scale. Our team has been part of four founder exits and has supported fundraises totaling twenty seven million dollars. That breadth of experience gives us a clear view of which decisions are reversible and which will cripple an exit.

What we do is simple and rare. We intercept technical decisions early, surface the single tradeoffs that matter, and protect your code equity. We do not exist to churn features. Our work focuses on preventing unnecessary rewrites, removing complexity that does not compound business value, and preparing teams for technical diligence. We combine deep engineering experience, subscription monetization expertise, and judgment honed across consumer apps to stop expensive mistakes at the moment they are still fixable.
