The problem
Chicago startup founder who needs V1 built to a standard that can compete with enterprise software

Chicago startups often compete against established software companies. The enterprise customers they target have options. The software must be credible — it can't look like a startup prototype.

Chicago startup development requirement: Build V1 to a production quality bar that enterprise customers won't disqualify. This means: no obvious bugs, professional UI, security posture that passes a basic review.

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

Chicago's professional culture expects defined-scope engagements. Fixed-price software development matches that expectation.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Yes, and for Chicago startups selling into enterprise: recommended. The cost to add enterprise features at V1 is much lower than retrofitting them when the first enterprise customer requires it.
