Build Software People Actually Use

Three structural differences. No billable hours, we sell outcomes, not timesheets. Cancel any week, no exit fees, no notice period, no scope-creep contract trap. Founder-led delivery, the people in the diagnostic call are the people writing the code, not account managers handing you off to juniors. The reason most agency relationships go bad is incentive misalignment. Ours is structured against that on purpose.

You shouldn't, eventually. We're the gap before you can. When the senior engineer you'd hire is 4+ months away and you have 8 weeks of runway pressure, we're the bridge. We aim to put ourselves out of a job. When you can hire your CTO, we hand over a documented codebase and walk. Customers have done this. We're proud of it, not threatened by it.

The catch is on us. Every week we don't earn the next one is a loss. The clause is real, and we don't plan to let that happen. The structural alternative (long retainers, exit fees, 'managed services contracts') locks in revenue regardless of outcome. We chose the opposite. If we're not blowing you away, you stop paying. That's why it works.

Team is bigger than two. Every project is documented, version-controlled, and built on standard frameworks. No bespoke proprietary stack. Knowledge transfer is built into the engagement, your team can read, run, and modify everything we ship. We've handed off cleanly to internal teams more than a dozen times. The bus factor is 'your codebase keeps working', not 'Kevin and Chris stay alive'.

You get our Linear board, weekly sprint demos with a working build, and direct Slack/Discord access to the engineers doing the work, not a layer of account managers. You see bugs the same day we see them. You see the deploys. You see the customer-interview notes. The model is 'you're a teammate', not 'you're a client we report to once a month'.

Two engagement models. Weekly retainers: Fractional Co-Founder €400/wk, Software QA €750/wk, full-team development retainer €10–20k/mo. Cancel any week. Not happy with last week? Refunded. Fixed-price projects: €3,500 Discovery scopes everything, then a fixed quote split into milestones. The €3,500 comes off the final invoice. Either way, no hour-tracking, no scope-creep billing.

Depends on what 'done' means for you. A prototype: days to a week. A validated MVP with paying users: 6–12 weeks. Production-ready software at scale: longer, and we'll tell you the real number after Discovery, not the number you want to hear. We're AI-native, which accelerates build speed by 30–50%. We don't skip QA and testing phases. We'd rather ship something solid than ship fast and break things.

That's exactly what our Fractional Co-Founder lane is for. We validate demand with you before you spend money on the wrong build. If you've already vibe-coded a rough prototype, even better. That's the fastest way to align on direction. Specs are an output, not a prerequisite.

Three rules, no fine print. (1) Cancel any week: no notice period, no exit fee, no questions. (2) Refund the last week if we didn't blow you away. You ask, you get it. (3) No hours tracked. We work to exceed expectations, not to fill timesheets. Refunds apply to the most recent week and cover all weekly retainers. Fixed-price projects deliver against a signed contract, a different but equally honest mechanism. And yes, if expectations are detached from reality, we walk too. That's why this works.
