— How we work · Bucharest, RO · ships in weeks not quarters

From napkin
to launched.

Most of our projects ship in 14 weeks — the urgent ones in 4. We're a Romanian studio: same time zone as your team, half the price of London or Berlin, twice the throughput of an offshore team you've never met. Bring us the problem; we ship the system underneath.

Any problem.
Faster than you'd*
think possible.

We're based in Bucharest — same business day as London, Berlin, Dubai. We've built fintech in 8 weeks, replaced a 12-year-old ERP module in 14, and shipped emergency hotfixes overnight when a client's biggest customer threatened to walk. We don't pad timelines. We don't run six discovery sprints. We pick up the problem and start building the same week you sign.

URGENT FIX
24–72h

Production on fire? We triage the same day, ship the patch within 72 hours, write the postmortem the next week.

PROTOTYPE
1–2 weeks

From a napkin sketch or Loom to a working clickable prototype on a staging URL — built in real React, on real data.

MVP
4–6 weeks

First real version of your product, in users' hands. Auth, payments, database, deployed, monitored, supported.

FULL BUILD
12–16 weeks

End-to-end product or platform. Multi-surface, integrations, hand-off docs, four weeks of post-launch support.

in four phases

Discover

Discover
& frame*

We start with the problem, not the brief. Two days of structured interviews with you and (often) three of your customers, plus a teardown of what's currently in market. We come back with a written framing document — what we're solving, for whom, and what good looks like.

Duration
1 week
Deliverables
Framing doc · Constraint map · Risk register · Scope proposal
Tools
  • Notion
  • FigJam
  • Granola
  • Excalidraw
We commit when
You sign the framing doc. Not before.
02 · Weeks 02–03
Design

Design
in code*

We don't waste a sprint on Figma-only design. By end of week one of design, the highest-risk flow is a working prototype in React, built on the real component library. By the end of design, you're clicking through the actual app — backed by mocks, but real.

Duration
2 weeks
Deliverables
Working prototype · Design system · Component library · Animation specs
Tools
  • Figma
  • React
  • Framer Motion
  • Storybook
What you get
A clickable v0 of the product, deployed to a staging URL we share with you daily.

Build

Build
to ship*

Eight weeks of focused engineering. Daily 15-minute standups, weekly demo on Friday, continuous deployment from day one. We treat staging as production from week one — every push is shippable, no big-bang launch.

Duration
8 weeks (typical)
Deliverables
Production app · Test coverage · Observability · Runbooks · Hand-off docs
Stack
  • TypeScript
  • Next.js
  • Postgres
  • Stripe
  • AWS / Vercel

Ship & support

Ship
& support*

Launch is a checkpoint, not a finish line. We stay engaged for 4 weeks post-launch — bug-fix retainer, ops handoff, and a written postmortem of what we'd do differently. After that, you have a team in your codebase that already knows how to ship.

Duration
4 weeks support · then optional retainer
Deliverables
Launch plan · Monitoring dashboard · 24/7 oncall · Postmortem
Long-term
  • Quarterly check-in
  • Architecture review
  • Embed-on-demand
Pricing
Project fee + flat monthly retainer. No timesheets.
