Built for founders
A technical partner, not just a vendor
Startups rarely fail because the code is hard. They fail because the first version is too big, too late or built for the wrong user. We help you cut scope, ship early and keep improving, which is why founders keep working with us after launch.
- We agree in writing what the first version will not include
- A working demo every two weeks, useful for investors
- Payments tied to milestones, not hours
- Six months of free support after launch

FAQ
Software Development for Startups: frequently asked questions
Straight answers to what clients ask us most.
Need advice for your project?
Every product is different. Talk to a senior engineer about your tech stack, timeline and team, and get honest advice on your next step.
Talk to an ExpertHow much does it cost to build software for a startup?
It depends on what the first version must do. We help you cut it to the essentials, then give a fixed price with milestones, so you know the cost before you start.
How long does it take to build an MVP?
A focused MVP usually takes a few months. You see working software every two weeks, so you can show users and investors early.
Do we own the code?
Yes. The code and intellectual property are yours from day one, in your own repository.
Can you help us decide what to build first?
Yes. Product discovery turns the idea into journeys, screens and a ranked scope, with what the first version will not include agreed in writing.
What happens after launch?
Six months of free support, then continued development with the same team, or a hand-over to your own engineers when you hire them.
