Startups don't need enterprise process, and they don't need a solo freelancer who disappears mid-sprint either. You need a team that can move at founder speed, work within a runway-constrained budget, and still ship something investors and users trust. That's what we build for.
Every dollar and every week matters more at the pre-seed and seed stage than it ever will again — your dev team needs to respect that.
Pricing structured around runway reality, not enterprise day rates — you get senior engineering without the enterprise invoice.
We scope for the smallest thing that proves your core assumption, not the biggest thing we could bill for.
Architecture and technical-decision support from day one, so early choices don't turn into expensive rewrites at Series A.
A short scoping call and proposal instead of a recruiting cycle — you don't have six weeks to wait before code gets written.
Code and infrastructure decisions made knowing there's a v2 — not a prototype you'll have to throw away after your first users show up.
Your product, roadmap, and codebase stay entirely yours — signed before any technical discussion starts.
Startups rarely need a full department on day one — here's how we typically staff an early-stage engagement.
Full-stack engineers who can take a rough idea to a working, testable product fast.
Senior technical leadership for architecture, hiring, and vendor decisions — without a full-time salary.
A small, consistent squad that stays with your product past launch instead of rotating engineers.
Engineers experienced in subscription billing, multi-tenancy, and the plumbing every SaaS startup needs.
Additional engineers who plug into your existing codebase once you've raised and need to move faster.
We act as your technical partner during scoping — translating your product idea into a concrete build plan, architecture, and estimate — so you don't need a cofounder in the room to make informed decisions.
It depends on scope, but most MVPs are priced as a fixed-scope engagement after a discovery call, so you know the number before committing — not an open-ended hourly clock against a shrinking runway.
Yes — our engagement structures are built around early-stage constraints, with scoped phases that let you validate before committing to the next chunk of budget.
For a well-scoped MVP, yes. We move fast on the discovery and architecture decisions upfront so build time goes toward the product itself, not re-scoping mid-project.
