INVEST
SMART
No hidden fees, no scope creep surprise invoices, no “but the estimate was…” conversations. Three simple ways to work with us.
Consult
Got a technical question, need a code review, or want an honest second opinion before you commit to a direction? Grab an hour.
Best for: Founders who need a sanity check, teams evaluating a tech decision, or anyone who’s been burned before and wants advice from someone who doesn’t have a quota.
- Architecture and code review
- Tech stack recommendations
- Feasibility assessments
- Performance and security audits
- 1-on-1 with a senior engineer
- Async follow-up included
Project
Fixed scope, fixed price. Tell us what you need, we’ll quote it honestly, build it well, and hand it off clean. Most MVPs and feature builds land here.
Best for: Startups with a clear idea, businesses that need a specific thing built, or anyone tired of hourly billing that somehow always adds up to more than the estimate.
- 1–2 senior engineers
- Fixed scope and price (seriously)
- Weekly demos of real, working software
- You own the code from commit #1
- Deployed to production
- 2 weeks post-launch support
- Documentation that humans can read
Retainer
A senior engineer on speed dial. Like having a great hire without the recruiting, onboarding, equity negotiations, or awkward 1-on-1s.
Best for: Growing teams that need consistent dev bandwidth, or founders who’d rather spend money on building than on hiring.
- Dedicated senior engineer
- 20–40 hrs/month (your call)
- Slack access for quick questions
- Features, bugs, reviews, whatever you need
- Monthly planning sessions
- Scale up or pause anytime
- No long-term lock-in
- Cancel whenever (but you won’t)
Not happy after week one? Full refund. No drama, no awkward email chains, no “let’s schedule a call to discuss.” Just your money back.
Common Questions
How fast can you start?
Usually within a week. We’ve kicked off in 48 hours for urgent projects. We don’t have a 6-week intake process—we have a calendar link.
What if the scope changes?
It always does—we’re not naive about that. For project work, we’ll flag it early and adjust the quote together. No surprises. For retainers, we just reprioritize—that’s the whole point.
Do you work with non-technical founders?
That’s like half our clients. We speak human, not just code. You’ll see working software every week and always know what’s happening in plain English.
What’s your tech stack?
TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, Python, and AWS are our bread and butter. But we pick the best tool for each job—we’re not the kind of people who use a hammer for everything.
Can you work with our existing codebase?
Yes, and we won’t judge (much). We jump into existing projects all the time. Quick audit, get the lay of the land, start shipping.
Who owns the code?
You do. From the first commit. We don’t hold code hostage, charge licensing fees, or any of that nonsense.
What happens when the project is done?
You get everything: source code, documentation, deployment guides, and a walkthrough. Want ongoing support? Switch to a retainer. Want to fly solo? We’ll make sure you can.
Do you do white-label work for agencies?
Yep. We’re the dev team behind several design agencies. NDA-friendly, your brand, your client relationship. We’re comfortable being the ghost in the machine.
