Web & App Development for Bootstrapped Startups
No retainers, no recruiting process — just scoped, fixed-price work that fits a self-funded budget.
Bootstrapped founders tend to be precise about what they spend on, and rightly so — every cost has to justify itself against revenue, not a funding round. That makes open-ended hourly contracts or full-time hires for short-term needs a poor fit for a lot of bootstrapped work.
We work with bootstrapped founders on fixed-price engagements scoped tightly to what's actually needed — a feature, a fix, a redesign — with a price agreed before work starts and no ongoing commitment required afterward.
What We Bring
- Fixed-price engagements scoped to exactly what you need — no minimums
- No retainers or long-term contracts required
- Honest scoping — we'll say if something isn't worth doing yet
- Experience with lean, cost-conscious SaaS products
- Quick turnaround for focused, well-defined work
How We Work
- A short call to understand the specific need and your constraints
- A fixed-price quote — scoped tightly, with no padding for hypothetical extras
- Regular preview deploys so you can track progress
- Code delivered to your repository throughout
- A clean handover once the agreed scope is complete — no further obligation
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a minimum project size?
No — engagements are scoped to what you need, whether that's a single feature, a focused fix, or a small redesign.
Will you tell us if something isn't worth building yet?
Yes — for bootstrapped founders especially, we'd rather tell you a feature can wait than build something that doesn't pay for itself yet.
Do we need an ongoing contract afterward?
No — each engagement is scoped and priced individually. If you want more work later, that's a separate conversation, not a requirement.
