Does this sound like you?

  • Not sure how to get started or if you’re doing it right.

  • Endless ideas, no clear roadmap.

  • Afraid of being dependent on developers.

  • Happy to build on your own, but need technical guidance.

  • Investors pushing back on your tech readiness.

​

You don’t need to hand off your tech and hope for the best. With Co-pilot, every step in developing your product is clear, visible, collaborative and aligned with your mission.

Imagine having a trusted tech partner by your side.

  • You always know what’s being built, why and how.

  • Your MVP is stable, scalable, and investor-ready.

  • You lead with confidence - not fear of the unknown.

  • Every decision explained in plain English.

  • You avoid costly mistakes that sink early startups.

​

That’s why I created Co-pilot - to give founders clarity, momentum, and technical confidence while building their product from idea to MVP.

Hi, I’m Cherian Mathew - a 3x startup co-founder and Fractional CTO. For 22+ years I’ve built software across industry, academia, non-profits, and startups. In my last venture, we pioneered an ultra-early wildfire detection system at Dryad Networks. Today, I help non-technical, impact-driven founders like you build tech with clarity and confidence.

​

I created Co-pilot so you’ll never feel out of your depth with technology again. I work with you, not just for you - to translate your dream into a robust and investor-ready product.

 

You don’t need to become a technical expert - you just need the right partner to guide you through it with clarity, expertise and experience.
