We help founders build and launch their app
For founders who have an idea, a deadline and no engineering team. We build the first version and get it in front of people.
What stalls a first app
You can't tell if the quote is fair
Estimates for the same idea range tenfold. Without a technical person on your side, you can't judge scope, risk or whether you're paying for things you don't need.
Freelancers vanish and agencies overbuild
One person leaves you with code nobody else can read. A big agency hands you a year-long plan for something you needed in weeks.
Launch means more than code
Hosting, logins, payments, email, analytics and a way to take feedback all have to exist on day one.
You don't know what to cut
Every feature feels necessary. Someone has to say which ones can wait until you have users.
What you get
- A deployed app on your own domain that real people can sign up for and use
- Accounts, payments, email and analytics set up and working
- The repository and every account transferred to you, with a plain-language handover
- A short list of what we left out on purpose and what to build next
From idea to live
Step 1
Talk it through
A free 30-minute call. We ask who it's for and what the first useful version looks like, and tell you plainly if we aren't the right team.
Step 2
Written scope
A proposal with what's in, what's out, the timeline and the cost, before you spend anything on build work.
Step 3
Build in short cycles
Working software every week or two. You click through it, tell us what's wrong, and we adjust.
Step 4
Launch and hand over
We deploy it, move the accounts into your name and stay available while the first users find the rough edges.
