Build with us.

Tell us what should exist. We write the requirements with you, build it through the factory, and release it in stages you can see. Startly, Rhystic Collect and Grain Smith each went from first spec to a usable product in under a week.

Who we build for

One person

You have the idea and the customers. We build the product.

Founders, entrepreneurs and anyone with a part of their week they would pay to never do again: an app, a tool, the first version of a company.

A small business

Software that fits how your business works, not the other way round.

The app that chases clients for their paperwork, or a back office built for your trade to replace the spreadsheet that turned into one.

  • Grain Smith A back office for tradespeople In development

A mid-size company

The systems your team works around, connected or replaced.

Orders get retyped between three systems and everyone has a workaround for the old portal. We connect them, or replace them, and build the internal tool nobody has had time for.

An enterprise

Start with a proof of concept, built to your standards by a team small enough to move.

A real piece of a real problem, built through the factory to your security and compliance standards. Then a product, a platform, or a legacy system retired, and if you want it, a factory of your own.

Design partnership

Two new partners a month

You bring a real problem. We build the software to your specification, properly, and it shapes a product other businesses will use.

Who it’s for

Individuals and small businesses with a problem software would fix, and enterprises that want to start with a proof of concept.

What happens

  1. Tell us what you would build, who would use it, and what the problem costs you today.
  2. We write the requirements with you.
  3. We build it through the factory, and you use each piece as it lands.
  4. It ships, and it becomes a product others can use too.

What you walk away with

  • Software built to your specification, ready for real users
  • A say in a product made for people who work like you
  • For a small business, only the running costs to pay

Product build

Fixed scope

We take a product from requirements to release through the factory, against a scope and a definition of done agreed before we start.

Who it’s for

Anyone with a problem software can fix: founders, small businesses, mid-size companies and enterprise teams.

What happens

  1. We write the requirements with you: what it must do, for whom, the edge cases, and the rules it has to follow.
  2. A written scope and a definition of done, agreed before work starts.
  3. We build it through the factory. You see every change and use each piece as it lands.
  4. It ships in stages, and every release can be rolled back.
  5. We hand it over, or keep running it for you.

What you walk away with

  • Software ready for real users, with the edge cases handled
  • The requirements, the code and the checks, handed over as the scope says
  • Someone senior to call when it needs to change

Embedded

Ongoing, part time

Principal-engineer or CTO-level time every week, for companies that want someone senior steering their software while it grows.

Who it’s for

Companies with software at the centre of the business, with or without an engineering team of their own.

What happens

  • Architecture and delivery decisions, made with you.
  • Hands-on work in the codebase, alongside the advice.
  • Hiring and process help as the team changes shape.

What you walk away with

  • Someone senior who knows your system
  • Software that keeps up as the business grows
