Building a startup

Build with us.

We've already built the systems side of six products now in production. Bring us the idea — we bring the build.

Where you are

Wherever you're starting from, we've got a way in.

This isn't a strict funnel — most founders land in one of these three spots.

Idea

You have the idea

Nothing built yet — just a clear problem and a shape for the solution.

  • A short scoping conversation first
  • We help pin down an MVP, not the full vision
  • Weeks to a first version, not months
Talk through your idea
Building

You're mid-build

Something exists already — a prototype, a deck, maybe a rough first version.

  • We pick up where the last build left off
  • Code ownership stays with you, always
  • Good fit if your current build has stalled
Show us what you have
Scaling

You're live and growing

Real users, real load — and the systems side needs to catch up.

  • Hardening, not a rebuild from zero
  • Same team stays on past launch if you want
  • Works alongside an existing dev team
Talk about scaling

What you get

One team, from idea to production.

No handoffs between a design shop, a dev shop, and a growth agency. One senior team owns it end to end.

  • Working software, not just a deck — an actual thing you can put in front of users
  • Senior engineers only — no offshore handoff after the sales call
  • Weekly builds you can see and click through as they happen
  • The same systems we run for enterprise and government clients
  • Code and infra you own outright, with no lock-in

Weeks

not months, for a first version you can actually click through

What we'd use

The same stack our production clients run on

You're not the guinea pig for an unproven platform — this is what's already live elsewhere.

How we structure it

Deal shapes we've done before

None of these are fixed — they're starting points for a conversation about what you can actually offer right now.

Equity only

For very early, pre-revenue ideas we believe in.

Equity + cash

A hybrid split, the most common shape we use.

Cash + deferred

Reduced rate now, remainder on a milestone.

Cash retainer

Standard paid engagement, no equity involved.

Shipped for founders

Built from zero, under NDA

A two-person founding team

Went from a whiteboard sketch to a working product founders could demo to investors in under six weeks.

Details on request

A solo founder, non-technical

Owns 100% of the code and infrastructure for a product they never wrote a line of themselves.

Details on request

A pre-seed team mid-fundraise

Shipped a real MVP fast enough that it became the centerpiece of the pitch, not a mockup slide.

Common questions

What founders ask before they commit

It depends on the stage — pre-revenue ideas we believe in can go equity-only or hybrid. Anything post-revenue is usually a cash retainer.

Weeks, not months. You'll have a clickable first version to react to before we're deep into anything expensive to change.

That's exactly what the equity and cash-plus-deferred shapes are for — we can start before a round closes and structure payment around when funds land.

You do, outright — the code and infrastructure are yours from day one, with no lock-in.

If you want us to. The same team can stay on for hardening and support once you're live, or hand off cleanly if you'd rather take it from there.
