Why is this so cheap compared to a regular agency?
It isn't cheap — it's focused. Most agency cost lives in layers we don't have: account managers, project managers, sales engineers, junior staff learning on your dime, office overhead, six-figure design systems built before line one of code.
One operator, a vetted senior network, and an automated platform means we can quote a real fixed price for a real fixed scope. Smaller scope than a six-month engagement, by design.
What happens if delivery slips past day ten?
If we miss day ten through our own fault, we keep working at no additional cost until it's launched, full stop. No re-billing, no scope renegotiation, no change orders for our own delays.
If you need to slow down — a stakeholder review, a content delay, a change of mind — we'll pause the clock and pick up where we left off, on the same fixed price.
Who actually does the work?
One accountable operator leads every project end-to-end. For builds that need more hands, we add senior engineers from a vetted network — every one of whom has shipped real production software, none of whom are learning on your project.
You always have one phone number, one Slack, one person responsible. No handoffs, no "let me check with the team."
Can you do native mobile in 10 days?
No, and we won't pretend otherwise. Launch ships responsive web with PWA install — the right answer for most products at this stage. Scale can include a single-platform React Native app if mobile is core. Native iOS + Android in parallel lives in Custom.
What if I want to leave, or hand the build to my own team?
You own everything from day eleven. Your code is in your GitHub org. Your infrastructure is on your accounts. Your domain is yours. Hosting is billed to your card directly by each vendor.
The deployment runbook is written for a future hire to read, not for us to gatekeep. Any competent senior engineer can take it from here in an afternoon.
Do I need to do Discovery first?
No. If you have a clear scope and you're ready to build, you can start with Launch directly. Discovery is for founders who want to pressure-test the idea, see a clickable prototype, or get a written architecture before committing to the build budget.
If you do Discovery and proceed, the cost rolls into the build.
Are taxes included? What about international?
Prices are in USD, exclusive of VAT or sales tax where applicable. We invoice from a US entity and accept wire and ACH for builds; retainers can also pay by card. We work with founders globally — most calls happen across CET / EST overlap.
Can I see the contract before I commit?
Yes. A two-page master agreement covers ownership, payment, timeline, and the fix guarantee. You'll have it before you wire a dollar. We don't use NDAs to gatekeep the contract — read it as part of evaluating whether to work with us.
