DevOps guidance
Startups need cloud infrastructure that scales fast without breaking the bank. Coreitech provides cloud architecture guidance for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud — helping you choose the right platform, configure it securely, and scale without unexpected costs.
Our engineers have hands-on experience with containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes), CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), and serverless architectures. Whether you're building your first production environment or migrating from a prototype setup, we help startups build infrastructure that's production-ready from day one.
CTO-level IT strategy
without the CTO salary
Most startups can't afford a full-time CTO in the early stages. Coreitech provides virtual CTO services — strategic IT guidance from experienced technology leaders who understand startup growth trajectories, investor expectations, and the technology decisions that make or break scaling.
We help with technology roadmaps, vendor selection, due diligence preparation, and the IT architecture decisions that founders shouldn't make alone.
What is IT support for startups?
IT support for startups is specialist managed IT designed for early-stage and scaling businesses — where speed, flexibility, and cloud-first infrastructure matter more than traditional enterprise IT. Unlike generic SME IT, startup IT support must scale seamlessly from 5 to 500 users, support rapid hiring, and provide the cyber security and compliance documentation that investors and enterprise clients increasingly demand.
Startup IT support typically includes Microsoft 365 Business Premium setup, endpoint protection and MDM (Intune), Cyber Essentials certification, cloud architecture guidance (AWS/Azure), investor-ready IT documentation, and a virtual CTO — all delivered for a fixed monthly per-user price with no infrastructure investment. The defining characteristic of good startup IT support is that it scales with you without breaking, slowing you down, or requiring long-term commitments.
Day-one IT setup
Microsoft 365, endpoint protection, secure networking, and device deployment — your startup is fully operational from day one with no infrastructure investment.
Scalable managed support
Unlimited helpdesk, 15-min SLA, and on-site engineers. Add or remove users anytime — your IT scales with your headcount, not against it.
Investor-ready compliance
Cyber Essentials certification, ISO 27001 gap analysis, GDPR compliance, and due diligence documentation — ready for Series A and enterprise client procurement.

Is your startup experiencing
any of these IT problems?
Rapid scaling breaking IT infrastructure
As startups grow from 5 to 50 users fast, IT systems become bottlenecks. Ad-hoc solutions don't scale.
Cloud migration complexity
Startups need to move quickly to cloud-based systems. Wrong infrastructure slows growth and wastes resources.
Fundraising data room security
During fundraising, you need to share sensitive financial and operational data securely with investors. Inadequate systems create exposure.
Cyber security gaps during growth
As you scale, attackers take notice. Early-stage companies often have minimal security, making them attractive targets.
Employee onboarding and access management
Scaling fast means constant hiring. Managing access, devices, and credentials correctly from day one prevents later chaos.
Budget constraints vs IT needs
Startups can't afford expensive IT but need reliability. Generic support isn't built for the startup growth curve.
