Founder reality check
Sound familiar?
If you have hit any of these, you are not alone. Most founders we talk to have hit at least three.
"I am not technical enough to know if I am being oversold."
Before any code is written you get a scope doc, a fixed timeline, and a named lead engineer to ask anything. No jargon, no surprises.
"The last agency said yes to everything, then built the wrong thing."
We push back on features that fail two tests: will it help you reach early users, or will it strengthen your next round. If it fails both, we cut it before kickoff.
"I need same-day iteration, not long email loops."
A dedicated PM in your business hours, fast Slack response on the same day, and changes that ship in the next sprint.
"I need to own the code, the repo, and the cloud."
Repo, cloud accounts, and IP transfer to your control on day one of sprint one. Due diligence has nothing to untangle.
"Every AI tool promises I can build an MVP in a week. I still need something production-ready."
We use AI for code generation, refactors, and tests. Senior engineers decide what is safe to automate, so production code holds up after launch.
"The last agency was great at enterprise builds. I needed weekly iteration and they wanted a Gantt chart."
Our process is built for startup pace: one-week sprints, Friday demos, scope adjusts at sprint level. No change-request paperwork, no Gantt chart politics.
Our commitments
What you get with us
Five things founders told us they wished they had from sprint one. We made them non-negotiable.
- 01
You own everything from day one
Repo, credentials, cloud accounts, and IP sit in your control from sprint one. When investors send a due diligence team, there is nothing to hand over and nothing to untangle. The audit trail is already yours.
- 02
We cut features that do not validate
Every feature in scope passes one of two tests: it helps you reach early users, or it strengthens your next funding round. If it fails both, we cut it before kickoff.
- 03
A dedicated PM in your business hours
One named PM aligned to your time zone, with fast Slack response during your business hours. Same person from discovery through launch, no relay chain, no rotation.
- 04
Senior engineers only
Every engineer on your project is senior, with deep production experience. The engineers who scope your build are the engineers who write the code, not a different team handed the spec at kickoff.
- 05
AI-accelerated, accountable
AI for code generation, refactors, and tests. A senior engineer reviews every line. Architecture and security stay with the human accountable.
- 06
Working software every Friday
Every Friday you get a clickable demo of real product running in a real environment. Not a slide deck, not a screen recording. You can open it on your phone, send it to an advisor, and break it.

Need phases mapped to dates?
Share constraints and we’ll sketch a realistic timeline.
After launch
We are still here after launch
We plan the post-launch model from sprint one. Whether you take it in-house or keep us on, you never start from zero.
Full handoff and runbooks
Architecture, credentials, production runbooks, and a walkthrough with whoever picks up next. Your team starts where we stopped, not from re-discovery.
Production stabilization included
After go-live we stay through stabilization. Bugs that surface under real traffic get fixed. No new contract, no extra invoice.
Long-term partnership available
For clients who keep us on: maintenance, evolution sprints, integrations, scaling, and quarterly reviews. Same team, monthly cadence, no re-onboarding.
AI & modern development
We use AI where it earns its place. We tell you when it doesn't.
AI in your product
LLM integrations, retrieval, agentic workflows, fine-tuning. We scope these as core functionality. Security and compliance get documented before sprint one, not after.
AI in how we build
Boilerplate, refactors, code review, test scaffolding. Senior engineers decide what is safe to automate. Architecture and security-critical code stay with the engineer accountable.
Have AI scope questions?
We’ll show where AI helps and where seniors stay in control.

FAQ
Questions we hear on every discovery call
Cost, timeline, ownership, and the things founders quietly worry about with agencies. Here is what we get asked most often, with straight answers.
01How much does an MVP cost in 2026?
Validation prototypes: $5k to $10k. Lean MVPs: $20k to $40k. Standard MVPs: $40k to $70k. Complex or compliance-heavy products: $70k to $120k. Final number depends on scope, integrations, and compliance requirements. We share a fixed-bid quote shortly after the discovery call.
02How long does it take?
Lean MVPs ship in 8 weeks. Standard builds run 10 to 12 weeks. Complex products take 12 to 16 weeks. Discovery sets the timeline, and we do not adjust it after kickoff without your sign-off.
03Who owns the code?
You do. The repo, cloud accounts, and IP are in your control from day one under a work-for-hire model. Investors performing due diligence find ownership in your name, not ours.
04How do you keep us from getting bumped for bigger clients?
Your team is named in the contract before kickoff and stays on the account from discovery to launch with no rotation. We do not reassign engineers mid-project. Capacity is locked at proposal stage, not at sprint planning. If we cannot staff your project the way the proposal commits, we do not take the project.
05How does time-zone collaboration work?
Daily overlap with US East Coast clients in your morning hours. Full business-day overlap with UK and EU clients. Your dedicated PM aligns to your schedule, with fast Slack response during your business hours and written end-of-day handoffs so work continues while you sleep.
06Do you use AI in development?
Yes. AI accelerates code generation, refactors, tests, and PR review. Senior engineers decide where it fits and review every line. Architecture and security-critical code stay with the human accountable.
07What happens after launch? Do you offer post-launch support?
Every project includes a post-launch bug-fix window at no extra charge and no separate contract. If something breaks in production, we fix it. Beyond that, monthly retainers are available with the same team that built your MVP, covering new features, scaling work, performance, integrations, and ongoing iteration. No re-onboarding, no ramp-up time.
