A few things, answered.

Do I need a complete technical specification?

Bring the idea, who it is for and the problem it should solve. On the call, we discuss a focused first version and whether the project fits. You do not need a finished specification to start that conversation.

What kinds of products can you build?

Web apps, SaaS products, internal tools and MVPs for fundraising or first customers. If the idea needs native hardware, regulated medical or finance approvals, or a team of ten, we will tell you on the call.

Who are the engineers?

Senior engineers we work with full-time, based overseas, with daily overlap with US hours. You meet both on your first call, before you pay. The same two people stay with your project.

How is this different from using an AI builder myself?

Your two engineers plan and build the agreed product using the premium AI tool stack. They share daily updates, demo the work each week and work through your feedback. You can focus on the product and its users while the team handles the build.

What does $1,450/month cover?

Two dedicated AI founding engineers and the premium AI tool stack for the agreed monthly build scope. Your written plan defines the deliverables and timeline before payment. A larger product may need more than one month.

Can you build my whole idea in a month?

We aim for a focused version one in about 30 days. What fits depends on the product. Your build plan spells out what month one will deliver before you pay, so a bigger idea can start with a manageable first version.

What happens on the call?

Twenty minutes to describe your idea, meet both engineers and work through scope and fit. We discuss what month one could deliver. You agree the written scope before the first Wise payment; booking the call does not charge you.

Who owns the work, and will you sign an NDA?

Your project code, designs, data, accounts and IP belong to you, with third-party licenses respected. We take no equity. Ask for an NDA before sharing anything sensitive.

What if I want to pause or stop?

Pause or cancel any month. There is no auto-charge: we send a fresh Wise request each month. The work completed so far remains yours, including your project code.

What is the introductory price?

$1,450/month is our introductory price.

Let’s define your first version.

Bring the idea and the problem it solves. Meet your engineers, discuss the scope and find out what month one could deliver.
