About Archer Key
Archer Key is a founder-led technical consultancy. We partner with founders and operators who are building digital platforms—the systems that run their businesses, serve their customers, and create their competitive advantage.
We started Archer Key because we saw a gap in the market: too many technical partners focus on either high-level strategy or low-level execution, but rarely both. Founders need partners who can think through architecture decisions and then actually build the systems they design.
Our approach is deliberately different. We design systems for handoff, not dependency. We prioritize sustainability over cleverness. We document our decisions because code without context is debt waiting to accumulate.
What We Solve
- Technical decisions that shape your company's trajectory
- Systems that need to scale without becoming unmanageable
- Platforms that require operational maturity, not just code
- Products that demand both speed and sustainability
- Teams that need senior technical partnership, not just execution
Our Philosophy
We believe that good systems are systems that can evolve. Technology decisions made today shouldn't lock you into approaches that won't serve you tomorrow. That's why we design with exit paths, document with future teams in mind, and build with standard patterns that any competent developer can understand and extend.
We also believe that speed and quality aren't opposed—they're complements when you have the right foundations. Investing in architecture upfront doesn't slow you down; it speeds you up by preventing the accumulated friction that comes from shortcuts taken too early.
