Reason 1
A deal stalls on anintegration you don’t have
Someone on a sales call asks whether you connect to a system you have never heard of. The answer decides the quarter, and today the answer is a maybe.

03 / Who we are
Strand is an engineering firm with a single specialism: the layer between a financial product and every system it has to reach.
The team has shipped against ledgers, tax engines and a long tail of ERPs that never had a public API to begin with. We have already made those mistakes, on someone else’s schedule.

04 / The problem
Integrations arenever the workyou planned for.
They rarely reach a roadmap, and they never sit on one comfortably. Each is a small, specific, unglamorous system with its own auth, its own pagination and its own opinion about what a date is.
They are not what you are selling. They are what the sale depends on.
05 / What changes
Everything past this line stops being your problem.
Your platform talks to one contract — ours. Behind it we hold the connections, the credentials, the retries, and the breaking changes that arrive without notice.
When a destination changes, your release schedule does not.

06 / Why teams call
Reason 2
Your best engineersare maintaining plumbing
The people you hired to build the product spend their weeks inside other companies’ APIs, and none of that work makes the product any better.
Reason 3
A customer needs aconnector next quarter
It is a reasonable request, it is worth real revenue, and there is no room for it between now and the release you have already committed to.
07 / What you get
Say yesin the call
Bring us the system you have never integrated with. Scoping takes days rather than a planning cycle.
Engineers backon the product
The plumbing leaves your backlog entirely — design, build, run, and the pager along with it.

We are accountable for uptime on what we ship, not only for having shipped it.
08 / Who we work with
We work best with Series A to growth stage platforms — the ones that have outgrown their first connector and cannot yet justify a standing team for the next four.

09 / Customers
What changedfor them
“We closed two deals in a quarter on connectors that did not exist when the calls started.”
“The first thing that changed was our roadmap. The second was how often it slipped.”
“They found a failure mode in a ledger API we had spent a year blaming on our own retry logic.”
