Four stages, concept to scale.
Discovery, MVP, Scale, Partner — one studio across the whole journey. Each stage de-risks the next. If your problem is not one of these, we will tell you on the first call.
Capability map
Everything needed to ship production software.
Discovery
→Validate before you build.
Technical feasibility, architecture, stack, and a costed build plan. The cheapest way to learn exactly what your product needs before you spend on it.
Best suited for
Founders weighing a build who want a costed, de-risked plan before committing budget.
MVP
→Idea to working product.
Backend, frontend, auth, and a validation-ready release — built, hosted, and documented. A real product in front of real users, not a prototype.
Best suited for
Founders ready to test product-market fit with real users.
Scale
→Production SaaS, built to scale.
Full production deployment, payments, integrations, monitoring, and performance work. A validated MVP taken to production-grade for real growth.
Best suited for
Validated MVPs ready to scale. Funded startups with traction.
Partner
→Fractional CTO without the equity ask.
Architecture reviews, code reviews, hiring, and roadmap on a monthly retainer. A senior engineering brain on the team — without giving up equity.
Best suited for
Founders with an existing team who need senior technical guidance.
What we will not do
A few things we say no to.
Hourly staff augmentation. We do not rent engineers by the hour. Every engagement is scoped, priced, and shipped as a project.
Generic agency work. No WordPress sites, no marketing landing pages, no logo redesigns. We build software.
Equity-only deals. We are a working studio, not a venture fund. We charge for the work and let you keep your equity.
"Build whatever we say" engagements. Every project starts with a discovery call where we make sure the scope makes sense before we sign anything.
Tell us what you're building.
20 minutes. We map the problem, ask diagnostic questions, and tell you which stage fits — or whether what you need is something else entirely.
