// For startups

A great idea won't defend itself.
We'll help you turn it into a great product.

Technical partner for the founder. We advise, design, and code — and for marketing and legal we work with people we trust.

// Next step

Got an idea with a shot?

First conversation is free, informal, and pitch-free. Thirty minutes: you tell us what you're building, we tell you whether we see sense in it and how we'd approach it.

Let's talk
// How we work

Discovery → MVP → partner mode.

Every stage has a clear exit, clear cost, and clear go/no-go criteria. You never buy workdays from us — you buy reaching the next checkpoint on the map.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    1–2 weeks

    A conversation about the business problem, not about the stack. Idea audit, risk map, go/no-go decision. If we see this doesn't make sense — we'll say so now, not three months into the build.

  2. 02

    MVP

    3–12 weeks

    Code, design, deploy, first users, in-product metrics from day one. Scope cut without sentiment — only what tests the business hypothesis. The rest waits.

  3. 03

    After launch

    partner mode

    Product iterations, marketing, legal, support for upcoming rounds. We work on retainer, not by project — like a fractional team that knows your product inside out.

// Support tailored to the stage

We work differently at pre-seed,
differently at Series A.

Three startup stages — three completely different needs. Expand the one you're at right now.

Pre-seed
Validation before code.

Idea stage. With today's AI tools we can build a fully working MVP in a short time — and test what matters most: whether anyone will actually pay for your product. Later it's easy to turn it into a full-fledged, performant, secure product.

  • Idea audit and problem validation
  • Test landing + validation campaign
  • Investor deck and narrative for angels
  • ICP and positioning strategy
  • Business model selection and first pricing grid
Seed
A product that stands up and sells.

Hypothesis validated. Stack chosen for an 18-month horizon, not for "someday there will be a million users".

  • Full production-grade MVP
  • Onboarding, billing, analytics — from day one
  • First customer contracts and SLA
  • SEO + LLM visibility, content engine
  • Product hardening for the first investor round
  • Selection and rollout of first growth tools
Series A+
Scale without rewriting from scratch.

The product has traction. Now you can't blow it up by scaling. Hardening, architecture audit, process professionalization — so investor due diligence doesn't stall the round.

  • Audit and architecture refactor for 10×–100× traffic
  • DevOps, observability, on-call ready
  • Growth marketing and paid channels
  • Technical audit for investor due diligence
  • Process rollout (code review, RFC, SLA)
  • In-house team hiring support — and project exit when ready
up to 12 weeks

Express train Express MVP
from idea to live in a few weeks.

We have a set of proven skeletons that let us launch a production-grade MVP in three to twelve weeks — not because we cut corners, but because we're not building the same thing for the first time.

Express mode is for founders who need to show a product at a round or to first customers "yesterday". We go aggressively short, cutting everything that doesn't test the hypothesis. The rest comes back in post-launch iterations.

  • We're flexible — we'll adapt to every change forced by your new insight.
  • Even while building the MVP, you learn new things with us, including about the market you want to operate in — that's not a problem, those are potential MVP improvements.

// Refactor or feature?

"Good is better than perfect."
Almost always: feature.

The most common founder dilemma after launch: refactor or another feature? The answer we'll give in the overwhelming majority of cases is uncomfortable for devs, but true for the business.

Feature

Always, when a refactor isn't blocking a concrete, measurable business outcome in the next 6 weeks. The customer doesn't pay for clean code — they pay for a solved problem. As long as the code works well enough, it stays as it is.

Refactor

Only when it's blocking a feature you need right now — or when maintenance costs are visibly rising month over month. Never "just in case" or "because it's ugly". A refactor is an investment with concrete ROI, not the team's hobby.

// Who this works for

We fit every founder profile.

We work with founders in very different situations. The list below isn't a filter — it shows who we meet most often. If you don't see yourself here, let's still talk.

// What we do

Three competencies, one point of responsibility.

Technology on our side. Marketing and legal — we work with proven marketers and lawyers we trust. We don't bounce you between three different vendors and we don't pretend to do everything ourselves.

01 · Technology

Code that doesn't block a pivot.

Architecture, MVP, refactor, DevOps, code review. We don't sell stacks — we pick what you'll build in the next six months, not what looks nice on a slide.

  • Discovery and risk map
  • MVP in 3–12 weeks
  • Scalable architecture
  • DevOps and CI/CD
  • Code audit and refactors
  • Hardening for fundraising
02 · Marketing

Marketing for founders who don't have time for marketing.

We're not marketers. We work with marketers we trust. Especially strong where reach scales fastest today — short-form video. We know when you need them, and when it's not worth the budget. ICP, funnel, content, SEO, AI visibility — we make sure what you buy makes sense.

  • ICP and positioning
  • SEO + LLM visibility
  • Funnel and analytics
  • Content and copy
  • Pricing and go-to-market
  • Iteration on data
03 · Legal

A safety net, not a brake.

We're not lawyers. If you're not either — no problem, because for application, service, and product matters we work with lawyers who know their stuff. We know when a signature is needed, when a consultation is enough, and when someone wants to cut you out of equity.

  • SaaS and B2B contracts
  • IP and confidentiality clauses
  • GDPR and data protection
  • NDAs with investors
  • Terms and policies
  • Term sheet review
// More than code

We only win
when you win.

We talk about ICP and whether it actually fits. About pricing that doesn't scare anyone off or undercut margin. About the investor narrative. About what not to do in upcoming iterations.

This isn't nobility. It's strategy: a founder who built a product with us and entered a round will come back for help with the next idea. A founder we dragged down for billable hours — won't come back.

// What we won't do

Honestly:
what we won't do for you.

Realism, not pessimism or "hurrah-optimism". Five lines we won't cross — even if you ask.

  • We won't promise your product will hit a billion-dollar valuation. No agency or software house knows that — and anyone who promises is selling you an illusion.
  • We won't say "any technology is fine as long as it's cheap". Sometimes we'll say "don't do this at all" or "do it differently than you want".
  • We won't sell you a heavily-built app when we see you need pre-validation first. Sometimes it's better to make something that feels like an imperfect Proof of Concept to you than a full product. It's a waste of money to build a product nobody wants.
  • We won't stay with you forever if we see you need an in-house team. We'll help you build it, hand over the code, and leave. Loyalty to the founder, not to our own retainer.
  • We won't take money for hours sitting in meetings nobody needed. We bill stage outcomes, not the calendar. If it can be done faster — we do it faster.

We'll say "no" at the start of the conversation if we see it's more honest. That usually saves both sides three months of frustration.
