A small studio that ships
We build the product. In weeks. Not whenever.
Mobile apps, web apps, backends, the whole stack. We're a small senior team using AI the way a good carpenter uses power tools — to do the same craft, just a lot faster. You get a real working product, not a deck, not a roadmap, not a Notion page.
Why people want to work with us
- Weeks, not quarters. Most v1s take a year because most teams are doing it the 2018 way. We're not. MVPs in 4–6 weeks, real launches in a quarter. Not a marketing line — that's just the math when you stop writing boilerplate by hand.
- You talk to the people building it. No account managers, no junior layer running cover, no "let me check with the team and circle back." You email the person writing the code. They email you back. It's a small studio on purpose.
- Built like someone has to live with it. Because someone will — probably you, probably in 18 months. So tests, types, logs, the boring infrastructure stuff. Code we'd be embarrassed to hand off badly.
What we build
One team for the whole product. Phone screen to cloud bill. So you don't have to staple four agencies together and hope they like each other.
- Mobile Apps. iOS and Android that feel native, ship to the stores, and don't fall over when real users touch them. Push notifications, offline sync, the stuff that's annoying to get right.
- Web Apps. Dashboards, SaaS products, internal tools, marketing sites. React and Next.js, but more importantly: design that doesn't look like a Bootstrap template from 2014.
- Backends & APIs. The plumbing. Clean contracts, real observability, queues and jobs and webhooks that actually retry. Boring on purpose — boring is what scales.
- Architecture. We figure out the shape of the system before we write it. Not so we can draw pretty diagrams — so you're not paying for a rewrite in 14 months.
- AI Integration. LLMs, RAG, agents, evals. Wired into your product where it actually moves a metric, not where it looks good in a press release. We've shipped enough of these to know what doesn't work.
- Cloud & DevOps. CI/CD, infrastructure as code, monitoring, alerting. The setup where you can ship on a Friday afternoon and still go to your kid's soccer game on Saturday.
How we actually work
- Talk. A week, tops. We figure out what you're really trying to do and what "done" looks like. (These are usually different from what's in the brief.)
- Sketch in code. Working software in days, not slide decks. You click on something real. That's where the good feedback comes from.
- Build in the open. Weekly demos. Real users on it as soon as possible. No big-bang launches — those almost never go the way the deck said they would.
- Hand it off (or keep going). Clean code, real docs, a team you can hire to take it forward. Or we just keep running it. Your call.
Who we work with
A lot of our clients aren't "tech companies." They're operators — in agriculture, manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, services — who've decided their software shouldn't be somebody else's product.
There's a moment a lot of non-traditional companies hit: they've stitched together ten vendors to run the business. A scheduling tool. A CRM. A custom Excel that one person maintains. Three SaaS dashboards that don't talk to each other. A consultant who shows up once a quarter. And none of it actually fits how they work, none of it owns the outcomes they care about, and the bill keeps going up.
So they decide to build their own. Not because they want to run a software team — because they want the software to match the business instead of the other way around. That's where we come in. We build the thing, get it shipped, and either hand it back to your team or keep operating it. You end up owning the tech that runs your company, instead of renting ten things that almost fit.
