San Francisco 2026 Backed by Y Combinator

A studio for serious software.

Osmaura is an AI native consulting firm that modernizes software for private equity portfolios.

I. The Work
i

Codebase Modernization

Rebuilding inherited or aging codebases on modern stacks, often as a clean rewrite with comprehensive test coverage and durable architecture.

ii

Post Acquisition Integration

Stitching together systems, data, and authentication across newly merged portfolio companies, designed to scale rather than patched together.

iii

Legacy Stack Migration

Migrating from older platforms, including ColdFusion, classic ASP, on premise SQL Server, and other systems that have outlived their tooling.

iv

AI Feature Integration

Adding intelligent features to existing portfolio products, built natively into the system rather than bolted on as an afterthought.

II. The Approach

Two engineers can now do what five used to.

Faster delivery
0
Subcontractors. Ever.

The leverage comes from agentic AI tooling. A knowledgeable engineer using Claude Code can drive a full modernization the way a consulting team of five used to, with the same quality of output and considerably less overhead.

We are not the cheap option. We are what a serious modernization team looks like when the people building it use modern tooling honestly. The difference shows up in delivery times measured in weeks rather than quarters, and in pricing that lands well below Crosslake, West Monroe, or the Big 4 digital practices for the same scope.

Every engagement is run by a founder. There are no associates writing decks, no offshore teams to coordinate, and no hidden subcontractors. You speak directly to the engineer building your system.
