We build software for startup fundraising.
Lily Jack Tech, LLC is a software company. Our product, Investor Relations Suite, gives a startup team one place to run a venture raise: a live pipeline, the warm paths into investors, a record of every conversation, and reporting built for a raise. Alongside it we consult — software development, startup and fractional executive work, and forensic engineering.
What we build

A fundraising CRM for startup teams, built as multi-tenant software with per-tenant isolation enforced at the data layer.
Stop managing your raise. Start running it.

Also available
Consulting and engineering work
Alongside the product, Lily Jack Tech takes on a small number of engagements a year. Four kinds of work, all of them things we have actually done.
Software development
Product work end to end — architecture, build, and the unglamorous parts that decide whether software survives contact with real users. Investor Relations Suite is the reference: multi-tenant, isolated at the data layer, shipped in two languages and two themes.
Consulting and fractional leadership
Engagements at the altitude the problem actually sits at — product and engineering strategy, technical due diligence, or a C-suite seat for a company that needs one without needing it full time.
Startups and entrepreneurship
Company building from the founder’s side of the table: getting to a first product, getting a raise organized, and working out which of those two is the real problem this quarter.
Forensic engineering
Engineering analysis of how and why something failed, drawing on a mechanical engineering background and years spent in simulation software.
