Working with us
How does a project start?+
First call (free, 30 minutes): we listen, ask questions, give an honest assessment. If there's a fit, we do 1-2 weeks of discovery before writing code.
How long does a typical project take?+
MVP: 6-10 weeks. Full production app: 12-24 weeks. AI proof-of-concept: 2-4 weeks. AI production: 8-16 weeks. We give a specific timeline within 48 hours.
Can you work with our existing team?+
About 40% of our projects are team augmentation. We embed into your workflow — Jira, Slack, GitHub, your coding standards.
Do you sign NDAs?+
Yes. Happy to sign yours before any detailed discussion. We also have a standard mutual NDA.
Technical questions
What technologies do you use?+
Next.js, React, React Native, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Strapi, AWS/GCP, Docker. For AI: Python, LangChain, vector databases, LLM APIs (Claude, GPT-4, Gemini) or open-source models.
Do we get full code ownership?+
Yes. Day one: full Git repo access, all source code, docs, deployment configs. No proprietary frameworks, no license fees.
Do you use open-source or proprietary AI models?+
Both — we're model-agnostic. Commercial APIs for max quality, open-source on-premise for data sovereignty.
Pricing & engagement
How much does a project cost?+
Custom software: $15k (MVP) to $150k+ (enterprise). AI: $15k (POC) to $150k+ (production). We scope honestly — first call is always free.
