Hello Product Hunt community! 👋
I’m Hammad, founder of TechTek.io.
I’ve spent the last 20 years in the engine rooms of global tech giants like the BBC, Booking.com, TUI, and Sainsbury's.
In those two decades, I witnessed a recurring pattern: brilliant startup ideas dying not because of a lack of vision, but because of a lack of technical judgment.
Early-stage founders are often forced to make high-stakes architectural decisions in a Decision Fog:
Is this AI agent actually feasible or just a token-burning liability?
Should we build this feature from scratch or buy off-the-shelf?
How long will our runway actually last with this specific tech stack?
Most "calculators" out there use outdated benchmarks or are just disguised "Contact Us" forms. I wanted to change that.
I’ve codified the "Corporate Scars" and engineering logic I used at global scale into the TechTek Founder Suite—four free, logic-based tools to help you move from "Guessing" to "Engineering."
Inside the Suite:
AI-Agent Estimator: Feasibility and infrastructure cost analysis for the agentic era.
MVP Cost Estimator: Logic-based budgeting for investor-ready builds.
Burn Rate Visualizer: Seeing how your tech choices impact your survival.
Build-vs-Buy Analyser: Identifying what is core IP and what is a commodity.
We build on an "Opinionated Stack" because we believe speed and scalability shouldn't be a trade-off. Our goal is to help startups ship products that are ready for Series A technical due diligence from Day 1.
I’d love to get your feedback on the logic behind these tools.
To the founders and CTOs here: What is the one technical "hidden cost" that surprised you most during your build?
I’ll be here all day to answer questions! 🚀

Honestly the burn rate calculator is super straightforward, way nicer than the spreadsheet hack I was using before. Kinda wish more tools like this just existed when I started out.

Would love to see a runway scenario planner that lets you model multiple hiring sequences at once, showing how adding two engineers in month 3 vs month 6 changes your cash out date. That kind of side by side comparison would make this way more useful for sequencing decisions.
