The problem
San Francisco-based company that needs a mobile application built to production quality at a predictable cost

San Francisco mobile development costs are the highest in the country. Senior React Native engineers at SF companies command $200,000-$280,000+ annually. For pre-Series A founders: the economics of hiring don't work.

What SF founders need in mobile development:

  • Apps that feel native, not like web-wrapped HTML
  • Performance that doesn't embarrass the product in demo
  • Architecture that doesn't require a full rewrite when the first engineer joins
  • Fixed-price so the burn rate is predictable

Process

Three steps, every time.

The same repeatable engagement on every project. No surprises, no mystery, no billable ambiguity.

01Week 0

Brief & discovery.

We send you questions, then get on a call. Output: a written scope with every step, feature, and integration listed.

02Weeks 1–N

Build & ship.

Fixed schedule, weekly reviews. No scope creep unless you change the scope — and if you do, we reprice it transparently.

03Post-launch

Warranty & retainer.

30-day warranty on every launch. Most clients stay on a monthly retainer for ongoing features and maintenance.

Why fixed-price

Why Fixed-Price Matters Here

SF burn rates are among the highest in the world. Fixed-price mobile development is a line item, not an open-ended cost center.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

For most SF startup use cases: identical user experience, 95% of the performance, one codebase, one developer. The trade-off is worth it for pre-Series A companies.
