For founders

Your demo works.Now make it real.

Lovable, v0, Bolt, Cursor, Replit. They're great at getting you to a demo. They're not so good at auth, database indexing, or surviving real traffic. We take your prototype and build the production system around it.

What we sort out

Four things every prototype skips.

The features that don't fit on a demo video but decide whether your app survives a real user.

  1. Security that actually works

    Prototypes skip auth, hardcode API keys, and trust all input. We replace the demo's everyone-can-do-anything model with real auth flows, input validation, and secrets management. Your investors stop wincing when they see the codebase.

  2. Architecture that handles real traffic

    Your prototype works for you and your co-founder. What about a thousand concurrent users? Database indexing, query tuning, caching, queues. The boring infrastructure that decides whether your app survives launch day.

  3. Operations that don't depend on you

    CI/CD pipelines, error monitoring, deployment scripts, log aggregation. Not a Vercel preview link you share in Slack. The stuff that means your app stays up at 2am, and if it does go down, someone other than you knows.

  4. A clean handover

    Documentation someone can use, walkthroughs with whoever will run it after we leave, and code your team can read. We're building a system you own, not a dependency on us.

How it works

Diagnostic, strategy, build,hand it over.

The same four phases we use for every engagement, shaped for founders with working code. We start by looking at what you've got. Sometimes the right answer is to harden it, sometimes the right answer is to start again. We tell you which before you commit.

One week, fixed price

Diagnostic

We read your codebase, run it locally, and try to break it. Then we tell you what's solid, what needs replacing, and what we'd do differently from scratch. If it's better to start over, we say so.

One week

Strategy

A short technical plan covering security gaps, infrastructure changes, ops setup, and rough timelines. You sign off the scope before any build work starts.

Four to eight weeks

Build & Deploy

We harden what stays, replace what should not, and ship a deployable system. Working software every week, not a roadmap.

Final week

Handover

Documentation, walkthroughs, and your team trained to run it. Then we leave.

Illustrative scene

We pick up prototypes built withLovable, v0, Bolt, Cursor, Replit, and the usual hand-rolled stacks (Next.js, Supabase, Postgres, anything reasonable). We rebuild only what needs rebuilding.

Twenty minutes. No deck.

We'll look at what you've got, tell you whether it's worth productionising, and roughly what it would cost to do properly.
