WHY THE STARTUP FACTORY

Your partner from MVP to scalable product

01

Build it faster, for less

Equal-quality senior engineers at half to a third of US cost. Ramp up or down in about two weeks. No stock options, no severance, no hardware, no office.

02

US-based project management

We bridge the gap. Offshore engineering shouldn't be a second job for your CTO. We eliminate the management tax and take full ownership of daily execution and time zone overlaps.

03

AI-savvy, not AI-dependent

Our engineers use AI to ship faster and debug what it gets wrong. The engineer still drives the build. We don't bet your product on the model.

04

Partner, not vendor

While we offer short-term flexibility, we see ourselves as your trusted, multi-year engineering partner. We take ownership and we're ready to scale with you as your needs evolve.

FAQS

Questions founders ask us first

You get senior engineers based offshore (mostly India) who work as part of your team, managed by a US-based bridge. Equal quality to a US hire, at half to a third of the cost, with no long-term contract.

Yes. We staff senior engineers, not seat-warmers, and if a fit doesn't take we have replacements ready.

A US-based project manager is your onshore point of contact, and the team works a 3 to 4 hour daily overlap with Pacific time. Slack, a daily standup, and US-based escalation. One call closes the gap.

No. Our engineers are AI-savvy, not AI-dependent. They use AI to move faster and to debug what it gets wrong. The engineer drives the build.

You can fire us in two weeks. You probably won't. We earn the next month, every month.
