About Above The Clouds

We build software.
Now we build it with agents.

Founded in 2013. Sixty-plus products shipped, two companies sold, 90+ tech due diligences for investors. That is where our judgment comes from, and it is why we can let agents move fast without letting them wreck a production system.

Above The Clouds has been building technology since 2013. We have launched and exited products, scaled engineering teams, and worked alongside founders through every stage of growth.

We also spent years on the other side of the table, assessing other people's technology for the investors about to buy into it. Ninety-plus due diligences teaches you what actually fails: not the exotic problems, the same handful of boring ones, over and over.

What changed in 2026

Agents got good enough to do the volume of the work. Most of the industry responded by shipping prototypes faster. We did the opposite: we kept the engineering discipline that makes software survive contact with production, and put agents underneath it. Test-driven development, architecture decision records, CI/CD, and a senior engineer reviewing every pull request.

That combination is what we now sell through two doors: we build your product with it, or we install it in your team. Either way, you end up owning the factory.

How we work

Cash only, never equity. Everything lives in your repository and runs on your own AI subscription. Your code and your data are never used to train AI models. If we stop working together, you keep the code, the agents and the product brain, and your team can keep shipping without us.

The team

The promise is about standards,
not about who shows up.

Every project is architected by a senior CTO and reviewed against the same engineering standards, whoever is on it. We're a growing team: as new senior engineers join, the standard is what stays constant.

◆

Senior architects

Every project is architected by a senior CTO-level engineer who owns the technical decisions and the architecture decision records behind them.

◆

Senior engineers

They direct the agents and review every pull request before it merges. Agents produce the volume; humans stay accountable for what ships.

◆

Product and delivery

They turn what you need into specs an agent can execute, with acceptance criteria and test steps, and keep the product brain honest.

◆

Due diligence practice

The same people who have run 90+ tech due diligences for VCs and PE firms, which is where our instinct for what breaks in production comes from.

The story

Thirteen years
of shipping.

2013

Above The Clouds is founded. We start building and shipping products for clients across Europe, and since then well beyond it.

2013–2024

60+ products shipped. Two companies built and sold. Engineering teams scaled from zero.

2018–2026

90+ technical due diligences for VCs, PE firms, M&A advisors and family offices.

2026

We rebuild how we work: agents do the volume, senior engineers direct and review, and the same factory goes into our clients' teams.
