Who We Are

BootstrapVC is a team of seasoned DevOps, SRE, and Platform engineers with 45+ years of combined experience building and scaling infrastructure at some of the world’s largest platforms.

We’ve been on-call at 3am. We’ve debugged production outages under pressure. We’ve scaled systems from zero to billions of requests. And now, we’re putting that expertise to work for founders.

Why We Exist

Early-stage startups face a painful trade-off: hire expensive infrastructure talent you can barely afford, or have founders cobble together systems they’ll eventually need to rebuild.

We offer a third option. We embed with your team as fractional DevOps/SRE partners—either for equity or a flexible paid engagement. You get senior expertise without the senior price tag.

Our Expertise

We’ve spent decades in the trenches with:

  • Kubernetes & Container Orchestration — from cluster setup to production operations
  • CI/CD & Developer Experience — pipelines that actually make engineers faster
  • Observability & Monitoring — knowing what’s broken before your customers do
  • Infrastructure as Code — Terraform, Pulumi, and reproducible environments
  • Cloud Architecture — AWS, GCP, Azure, and multi-cloud strategies
  • Incident Response & SRE Practices — building systems that stay up

How We’re Different

We do the work. We don’t advise from the sidelines—we ship code, join on-call rotations, and fix production issues alongside your team.

Aligned incentives. Whether you choose equity or paid engagement, we only succeed when your infrastructure succeeds.

No bloated retainers. We offer flexible models because we know startups need to stay lean.

Let’s Build Together

If you’re a founder who needs infrastructure expertise without the overhead of a full-time hire, we should talk.
