Working with the studio

The same team that ships our own products, pointed at yours.

We are not an agency. We take on a small number of outside builds each year, on terms that keep us accountable for the outcome, equity, revenue share, or a fixed scope we'd bet our name on.

Venture Building

We co-found. You bring the market.

In plain termsYou bring the idea and the market; we become your technical co-founder and build the entire product with you.

For, Early-stage founders with a market thesis and no technical team

We test the idea with real users, design the brand and product, build the first version to a proper production standard, and stand next to you at launch as your founding technical partner.

Deliverables

Idea validation with real users
Product strategy
Brand identity
Design system (UI/UX)
Live product, web + mobile
Launch tracking & analytics

Outcome: A live product, with a technical co-founder behind it, not a vendor beside it.
Timeline: 8–16 weeks to first live product
Structure: Equity + minimal build fee

CTO Partnership

We build the technology. You own the market.

In plain termsYou get a senior head of technology and a full engineering team, without hiring one full-time.

For, Ventures that are live but need serious technical leadership

We embed as your fractional CTO, a senior head of technology on a part-time basis, plus the engineering team behind them: architecture, roadmap, hiring, AI strategy, and patent-ready IP. This is the model we run with VDOlocal today.

Deliverables

Technical leadership
System architecture
Engineering execution
AI roadmap
Patent & IP strategy

Outcome: CTO-grade decisions without the CTO-grade hire.
Timeline: Ongoing · minimum 6-month engagement
Structure: Revenue share or equity kicker + monthly retainer

AI Sprint

One product. Three weeks. Done.

In plain termsOne finished, working product in about a month, at a price we agree before we start.

For, Established teams that need one well-defined AI product shipped fast

We scope, design, and ship one production-ready AI product or feature in 3–4 weeks. Fixed scope. Fixed fee. Full source code ownership, yours forever.

Deliverables

One production-ready AI product or feature
Complete source code
Handover documentation

Outcome: Shipped and in users' hands inside a month.
Timeline: 3–4 weeks
Structure: Fixed fee, from $6,000

Design & Brand

The part everyone sees.

In plain termsHow your product looks, feels, and earns trust, handled by the people who designed ours.

For, Teams that need a brand and product design practice, not a logo file

Brand identity, product design, UI/UX systems, and motion, the same design practice behind Mentzi, AurumOS, Depo, and this website. Offered selectively, usually inside a venture build; occasionally standalone for teams we believe in.

Deliverables

Brand identity
Product design
Design system
Motion language

Outcome: A product people trust before they've read a word.
Timeline: 3–6 weeks standalone
Structure: Fixed fee, scoped per engagement

Four models, side by side.

AI Sprint	One well-defined problem	One production-ready AI product	3–4 weeks	Fixed fee, from $6,000

Industries we build for

Where the stakes are highest, we build deepest.

Some software carries more than a workflow. It carries people's records, their money, their trust. We take on a small number of these systems in industries where getting it wrong is not an option, and we build them to a standard the sector can rely on. Healthcare is the first.

Healthcare

Hospitals and clinics, engineered like the critical infrastructure they are.

From a single-doctor practice to a multi-branch hospital group, we build the complete clinical stack, records, patient access, diagnostics, revenue, and an intelligence layer above all of it, architected around the two things healthcare cannot compromise: patient trust and regulatory compliance.

Clinical core

Everything about a patient, their history, visits, and prescriptions, in one secure place.

Digital patient records (EMR/EHR)
Patient registration & unique health ID
Out-patient (OPD) visits & consultation notes
In-patient (IPD) admissions, beds & wards
Digital prescriptions & clinical notes
Discharge summaries & referrals

Patient access

How patients find you, book, consult, and stay in touch, in their own language.

Appointment booking & queue / token management
Video consultations (telemedicine)
Patient app, reports, reminders, follow-ups
Local-language & WhatsApp-first messaging

Diagnostics & pharmacy

Lab tests, scans, and medicines, tracked from the order to the result.

Lab tests & results (LIS)
Scans & medical imaging (PACS/DICOM)
Pharmacy & medicine inventory
Supplies & stock control

Revenue & operations

Getting paid, handling insurance, and running the place day to day.

Billing, invoicing & tax
Insurance, cashless claims (TPA) & payments (RCM)
Doctor & staff scheduling and rosters
Multiple branches & chains
Reports & operational dashboards

Intelligence layer

Turns doctors’ spoken notes into typed records (ambient documentation)
Multilingual symptom check-in that routes patients to the right care
Predicts no-shows & keeps the schedule full
Helps prepare insurance codes & claims
A second-opinion aid for doctors, assistive, never automatic

Compliance & security

ABDM / ABHA-ready
India DPDP Act
HIPAA (US)
Connects to other systems (FHIR/HL7)
Role-based access & consent
Encryption in transit & at rest

Senior team, no handoffs

The same senior engineers and designers who ship our own AI products build yours, no subcontractors, no juniors staffed on the work that matters.

Security & compliance from line one

Patient-data protection, audit trails, and consent are architected in from the first commit, never retrofitted before an audit.

Accountable by structure

We take these on through equity, revenue share, or a scope we'd bet our name on, so we stay in the room long after launch.

We build the healthcare stack the way the sector demands it, carefully, securely, and to a standard you can put your patients on, delivered through whichever model fits: a full venture build, an embedded CTO partnership, or a single focused sprint.

Discuss a healthcare build ↗

Fair questions.

Why equity instead of a normal invoice?

Because an invoice ends the relationship the day it's paid. Equity and revenue share keep us in the room when the hard decisions happen, which is exactly when a technical partner earns their keep.

What does a validation sprint look like?

Two to three weeks of field research, competitor teardown, and a working prototype in front of real users. If the thesis doesn't survive contact with the market, we tell you, before either of us spends serious money.

Can we start with an AI Sprint and grow into a partnership?

That's the most common path. A sprint is the cheapest way for both sides to learn how the other works. Several of our longer engagements started exactly this way.

Who will actually work on our product?

The same people who build Mentzi, AurumOS, Depo, and ZerocodeAI. We don't subcontract, and we don't staff juniors on outside work, the studio is small on purpose.

Do you build for regulated industries like healthcare?

Yes, selectively. We build the full hospital and clinic stack, records, patient access, diagnostics, billing, and an AI layer, architected for ABDM/ABHA and India's DPDP Act as well as HIPAA in the US. Security, consent, and audit trails are designed in from the start, not bolted on, and it's delivered through the same engagement models as any other build.

Tell us what you're building.

One conversation. We'll tell you within a week whether we're the right builders for it, and which model fits.
