Why Pre-Seed Startups Hire a Product Studio

Pre-seed runway is short. Building an entire engineering org before proof of demand is risky.

A product studio gives you design and engineering capacity while you talk to customers.

Keep governance light: weekly demos, written decisions, and a fixed scope for the first release.

Use the studio to create a maintainable codebase your future hires can inherit.

The goal is learning and traction, not a sprawling platform fantasy.
