For founders
Get your product in front of users — without hiring a team first
You need a product that real users can try, built well enough that you will not have to throw it away when it works. We scope the smallest version that proves the idea, build it in two-week sprints, and hand you the code.
Where you might be
Most founders come to us at one of these points
You have an idea and a deadline
A pitch, a pilot customer, or a launch date. We turn the idea into a written scope, cut it to what proves the business, and build that first.
SaaS developmentYou have a prototype that will not scale
A no-code build or a freelancer’s first version that is creaking. We audit it, keep what works, and rebuild what does not.
Custom softwareYou want AI at the core of the product
An AI assistant, a research pipeline, or content generation. We prototype on real data in about two weeks so you see quality before committing.
Generative AIYou need web and mobile
React Native lets iOS and Android share one codebase — often with shared logic from your web app — so a small budget covers more platforms.
Mobile appsYou are non-technical
We explain trade-offs in plain language and write decisions down. Fractional CTO support is available if you need technical leadership beyond the build.
Fractional CTOYou have raised and need to move faster
A small, senior team that can join your roadmap and ship alongside any engineers you already have.
Dedicated team
How we work with you
Built to validate, engineered to last
Speed matters, but so does not having to rewrite the product six months after launch.
- A free 30-minute discovery call, then a written scope and a fixed-price quote
- The smallest release that proves the idea, agreed before any code is written
- Working software every two weeks that you can put in front of users and investors
- Standard, well-supported stacks (React, Next.js, Node.js, Python) that are easy to hire for later
- NDA before details; full source code and IP transferred to you on final payment
- 30 days of post-launch support included, then optional retainers
Relevant services
- SaaS DevelopmentMulti-tenant SaaS products with subscription billing, admin panels, analytics, and the integrations your customers expect.
- Mobile App DevelopmentiOS and Android apps from one React Native codebase, including the backend, store submission, and post-launch updates.
- Generative AI & LLM IntegrationChat assistants, RAG over your documents, content generation, and AI agents that call your APIs — with evaluation and cost controls.
- Custom Software DevelopmentWeb platforms and internal tools built around how your business actually works, instead of bending it to an off-the-shelf product.
Questions we hear from founders
- How much does an MVP cost?
- Typical MVPs start from around $3,000 for a tightly scoped first release. Products with billing, integrations, and admin tooling usually fall in the $10,000–$30,000+ range. You get a fixed quote after the discovery call.
- How fast can we launch?
- A focused MVP is typically 4–8 weeks. You see a working build every two weeks, so you can start showing it to users before the final release.
- Will I own the code?
- Yes. Source code, designs, and deliverables become your exclusive property on final payment, and we work in repositories you can access throughout.
- What happens after launch?
- Every project includes 30 days of post-launch support. After that you can take the code in-house, or keep us on a retainer (from $600/month) for fixes and new features.
Relevant work
Built for teams like yours
Products built from a blank page: new SaaS platforms, AI pipelines, and marketplaces.
FramewiseAI website builder: describe a business, get a finished site
Challenge: Small businesses need a professional website without hiring a developer, but most builders hand them a template marketplace and leave the structure, copy, and design decisions to them.

Repo DiveA daily training system for reading production code
Challenge: Developers who want to learn from real-world code have no structured way to do it. Browsing GitHub Trending is easy to skip, and an early version of the product picked repositories at random, so what someone had already studied never changed what came next.
Read the case study
OutreachProCold email outreach through your own Gmail or Outlook mailbox
Challenge: Outreach has to be paced, compliant, and deliverable: bulk senders must honour one-click unsubscribes, stay inside mailbox limits, and recover cleanly when a send fails — without a web request doing the sending.

How we work
Five stages, from first call to live system
The same sequence runs on an MVP and on an enterprise platform. Only the length of each stage changes.
01
Discovery Call
A free 30-minute consultation to scope requirements, define success metrics, and estimate timeline and cost.
30 minutes · free
02
Architecture & Design
Database schema, API design, component hierarchy, and infrastructure plan, delivered as a written specification.
Written spec
03
Sprint Development
Two-week sprints with working demos. You see real software every 14 days, not just status reports.
2-week sprints
04
QA & Security Audit
Automated tests, manual testing on real devices, an OWASP security checklist, and performance profiling.
OWASP checklist
05
Deployment & Support
CI/CD pipeline setup, cloud deployment on AWS, GCP or Vercel, monitoring, and a 30-day post-launch support window.
