About

Backup Parachute Software was founded in 2012. We design, build, and operate our own SaaS products. Many of them have been running for over a decade.

The founder

Kyle Miller has spent 27 years building software, leading teams, and shipping products. His career spans Fortune 500 companies, startups, hedge funds, government agencies, and military projects that required clearance. Along the way he has had one successful exit and has delivered hundreds of projects across industries.

Today Kyle is hands on across the BPS portfolio. He designs, builds, operates, markets, and sells the software that runs under the Backup Parachute umbrella. He also runs CTO Connect, where he provides fractional CTO services to founders, first time engineering leads, and small teams making decisions that compound.

What we do

BPS is a software portfolio, not a consulting shop. We build and run products, not billable hours. Our SaaS platforms include VehicHaul, Cask, Secure Transmit, Meddly, and CTO Connect.

We also publish free tools that run in your browser. Startup metrics, cashflow, SDR compensation, and more. Teams can get quick answers without signup or paywalls.

How we work

Small team based in the USA. No outsourcing. Full stack experience that includes designing, developing, operating, marketing, and selling software. We eat our own dog food, use Agile planning in practice (not in name), and maintain code quality over the lifespan of the project. Some of our platforms have been running with minimal maintenance for over a decade.

Our operating principle. Given enough time and money, anything is possible.

Need a team?

BPS focuses on its own products. If you need help running or advising on a technical project, that is exactly what CTO Connect is for. Monthly office hours, email access, deep dive sessions, or ongoing fractional CTO engagements.
