Let's talk.
Tell us what you're building. We'll respond within one business day with whether we're a fit, what we'd ask in discovery, and a realistic budget range.
Built in Vermont.
Working everywhere.
Our studio sits in South Burlington — a 10-minute drive from BTV airport. Most engagements are remote-first, but we welcome on-site discovery and quarterly working sessions for clients who want them.

Common questions.
Things prospects usually ask before we get on a call.
What does discovery cost and what do I get?
Discovery is a fixed $24K, two-week engagement. You get a written architecture, threat model, three-deep risk analysis, and a fixed-band budget for the build phase. If we're not a fit, you keep all the artifacts and we'll point you to studios who are.
Do you sign NDAs before discussing?
Yes — happy to sign your standard NDA before any deep technical discussion. Send it with your inquiry and we'll route it the same day.
Will you work on a fixed-bid project?
For discovery and architecture, yes — those are well-bounded. For build, we work in two-week iterations on a time-and-materials basis with a written ceiling. Our experience is that fixed-bid build engagements either over-promise or under-deliver. We'd rather be honest.
Where are your engineers based?
100% US-based, all full-time staff. We don't subcontract production work to offshore teams or freelancers. Most of us are in or around Vermont — a few across the eastern timezone.
What if we already have an in-house team?
Most of our engagements involve a client team. We work alongside them — not over them — and explicitly aim to be replaceable by your engineers when the platform is steady-state. That hand-off is built into how we work, not an afterthought.
Do you take equity in lieu of fees?
No. We're cash-only. It keeps incentives straight, conversations honest, and avoids the cap-table complexity that ultimately distracts from the work.
