Say hello.
We take on product and web development contracts, in and out of web3. One inbox, read by the people who would do the work.
Helpful to include
- What you're building, in a sentence or two.
- Where it is today: an idea, a prototype, or live and struggling.
- What you'd want from us, and roughly when.
- Whether there's a budget and timeline already, or you're still scoping.
Where we are
Toronto, Canada
Ways to work together
- Discovery
One to three weeks. We take an idea apart, test the parts that could sink it, and give you a plan you could hand to anyone. Where the question is commercial rather than technical, we go after that too: the wrong pricing assumption is more expensive than the wrong database.
You know the problem, not yet the shape of the solution
- Build
A defined scope with a fixed shape and a working thing at the end. Design, development and deployment, from empty repository to production. Where a job needs a capability we do not hold in house, we bring in a partner and the accountability stays with us.
You know what you need and want it built properly
- Embedded
We join an existing team for a stretch, on the parts nobody in-house has done before: cryptography, protocol design, the seam between a chain and a product.
You have a team, and a gap in it
Common questions
- Do you only work on crypto projects?
- No. A good deal of the work is ordinary product and web development, and we would rather build something conventional that works than something novel that does not. The web3 experience is available when a project needs it, and stays out of the way when it does not.
- Most of the work here is your own. Have you done this for clients?
- Yes, and less of it than we have done for ourselves. That is the honest answer, and it is also the reason we know what these systems cost to run a year after launch rather than only what they cost to build.
- How small a project is worth asking about?
- Ask. A short piece of work that answers a question is often more useful than a long one that assumes the answer, and we will say so if a project is not a fit for us.
- Who actually does the work?
- The people you speak to. Where a job needs a capability we do not hold in house, we bring in a specialist, tell you who they are before they start, and keep the relationship and the accountability on our side.
- What do you need to give a quote?
- What you are building, where it is now, and roughly when you need it. If there is a budget already, saying so shortens the conversation considerably.
