Build Your Full Digital Product With a Senior Ex-Meta Team

We help startups and growing businesses build custom apps, SaaS platforms, AI tools, and web products without needing to hire and manage a full internal team.

Fit check

Who this is for

One call tells us which path is right, no pressure if it's not us.

Ideal for
  • Founders building 0-to-1 with a real launch date
  • Growth-stage teams replacing a fragmented vendor stack
  • Companies that need design, engineering, and cloud in one accountable place
  • Teams that want weekly demos and written milestones, not black-box sprints
Not for
  • Idea-only stage, no validated concept or wireframes yet
  • One tight surface that fits the MVP sprint ($5K–$10K range)
  • In-house teams that just need extra senior hands (see Team augmentation)
  • Projects requiring 24/7 on-call SLA from day one without a separate support agreement

Process

Discovery through launch, without surprises.

Scroll through each phase. Every step has deliverables, dates, and weekly visibility, not a black-box build.

  1. Discovery

    Week 1

    We align on outcomes, scope, and a plan you can budget against before a single line of code is written. Every unknown mapped before it becomes a surprise.

    • Outcome map
    • Scope & priorities
    • Budget plan
    • Timeline
  2. Design

    Week 2–3

    UX flows and high-fidelity UI you sign off on before the full build starts. Every screen, state, and interaction reviewed at a checkpoint, no surprises at code review.

    • UX flows
    • High-fidelity UI
    • Design system
    • Sign-off checkpoint
  3. Build

    Week 4–8+ (scaled for 6–12 mo engagements)

    Iterative releases, weekly demos, and quality checks as we build. You see the product come together every week, not at the end. Duration scales with scope.

    • Weekly demos
    • Staged builds
    • QA reviews
    • Issue tracking
  4. Launch

    Final phase

    Stores, deploys, docs, and a clean handoff to your team. Production-ready on day one. You own everything: repos, accounts, and infrastructure.

    • Store submission
    • Deploy pipelines
    • Engineering docs
    • Team handoff

Scope

What the engagement covers.

Clear boundaries from day one, no surprises mid-build.

Product discovery & roadmap

Outcome map, scope priorities, and a budget-aligned plan before build starts.

UX/UI design and design system

Flows, high-fidelity screens, and a component system your team can extend.

iOS and Android native builds

Swift and Kotlin first; cross-platform where it genuinely fits the project.

Web app or web dashboard

Production-grade frontend built to the design system, responsive and accessible.

Backend API, auth, and data model

As scoped: REST or GraphQL, auth flows, database schema, and admin tooling.

Cloud setup guidance and CI/CD

Infrastructure choices, deployment pipelines, and environment configuration.

Analytics and crash reporting hooks

Event tracking, error monitoring, and performance baselines wired before launch.

App Store and Play Store submission

Store metadata, compliance review, and submission handling when mobile is in scope.

Weekly demos and written status

Live demo every week plus a written update so nothing falls through a gap.

Full handoff: repos, docs, architecture

You own production on day one, code, accounts, infra, and architectural overview.

What a senior team actually costs

Senior embedded product engineering, scoped to your build.

Below is what you would pay to staff each role separately at market rates. Your engagement is scoped and priced in discovery.

  • Senior iOS or Android engineer (12+ yrs) $18K–$22K
  • Senior product designer (UX, UI, design system) $10K–$14K
  • Backend and API engineer $12K–$16K
  • Project management, demos, and weekly status $4K–$6K
  • QA, release management, and store submission $4K–$6K
Typical market total $48K–$64K
