NETWORK
The studio is a three-person senior core. When an engagement needs brand design, GTM, compliance, or a fourth engineer, we call someone on the shortlist — never someone looking for their next steady gig. If you've shipped product work you'd show at a wedding, we want to know.
Specialists with a narrow edge or generalists with a broad one, whichever the engagement needs.
Fullstack engineers. Infrastructure and architecture specialists. Regulated-fintech and compliance-heavy systems specialists.
Product and UX designers. Strategic designers. Brand designers where brand is part of the scope.
GTM operators for positioning, ICP definition, outbound cadences, and pipeline instrumentation. Called in on engagements where the product is shipping before the first sales hire starts.
Design-led, engineering-led, or compliance-focused studios. We work studio-to-studio: no markup on your rate, no reselling your people.
THE TERMS
You invoice against outcomes and milestones, not hours logged. Rate is set per engagement, signed before you start, and paid on the milestone — not 60 days after it. If scope shifts on your side, a new number is on paper before the next milestone opens.
THE SHAPES
Typical shapes: Build (3–5 months), Scale (4–8 months), Advise (single sessions). Engagements end when the work is done. We don't sell retainers.
If you run the way we run, write. If you don't, we'll both save the afternoon.
