Stack & Process

How we build. What we build with.

No legacy frameworks. No shortcut architectures. We use the same tools and standards that power the best-funded startups in Silicon Valley — because our clients are building to join them.

6 phases. 6–8 weeks.
Investor-ready output.

Every engagement runs through this process. It’s rigorous enough to produce quality code, lean enough to ship at startup speed.

01

Week 1

Discovery & Strategy

We start with your business model, not your wireframes. We map user journeys, competitive landscape, technical constraints, and define what “done” looks like for investors. Output: Product requirements doc + architecture brief.

02

Week 1–2

Architecture & Design

System design, data models, API contracts, and high-fidelity screen designs. All decisions documented for future engineering hires. Output: Technical spec, component library, and design system.

03

Weeks 2–6

Core Build

Your dedicated squad ships in weekly sprints. You have full codebase access and daily asynchronous updates. Weekly demo calls are mandatory — not optional. Output: Deployable, tested product with CI/CD pipeline.

04

Week 6–7

QA & Security Hardening

End-to-end testing, load testing, security scanning, and performance optimization. We fix before launch — not after. Output: Test coverage report, security audit summary, and performance benchmarks.

05

Week 7–8

Launch

Staged rollout with monitoring, alerting, and rollback capability. We stay on call for the first 72 hours. Output: Live product, runbook, and incident response playbook.

06

Ongoing

Scale

Post-launch we can embed for continuous development, scale the team as you hire, or hand off cleanly to your internal team. Output: Whatever your roadmap demands next.

Modern stack. Zero legacy.

We stay current because investors and technical co-founders ask. Every technology we use is production-proven and used at companies like Stripe, Linear, and Vercel.

Built to pass technical diligence from day one.

Most startups scramble to clean up their codebase before a fundraise. Our clients don’t. We build with diligence in mind from the first commit.

Every codebase we deliver includes the things that sophisticated technical investors look for — and that your future engineering hires will thank you for.

Clean IP Ownership Full IP transfer, open source license audit, contributor agreements, and zero third-party code with viral licenses.
Documented Architecture System diagrams, ADRs (Architecture Decision Records), API docs, and a README your next CTO can read on day one.
Test Coverage Unit, integration, and end-to-end test suites. Coverage reports included. We target 80%+ on all critical paths.
Security by Default OWASP top-10 mitigations, dependency scanning, secrets management, and encrypted data at rest and in transit.
CI/CD Pipeline Automated build, test, and deployment. Staging environment, feature flags, and one-click rollback.
Observability Structured logging, error tracking (Sentry), performance monitoring, and alerting. You see what investors will ask about.
