BUILD — FIRST VERSION, POST-FUNDING
Themoneylanded.Nowtherealdecisionsstart.
For founders who just closed a first round and need a team that turns capital into a shipped product — without a CTO, without a roadmap war, without a vendor pitch theatre.
The stake
It's three weeks after the round closed. The champagne is gone. “Build the MVP” turned out to be four decisions stacked on top of each other: what to cut, what to ship first, which stack, who to hire. Every decision stalls on the one before it.
Two freelancers quoted half what the work needs. A bigger vendor sent a forty-slide deck and a €400K proposal. Neither felt right, and the runway clock keeps ticking.
You don't need a vendor. You need a team that takes the whole problem and pushes back in week one.
What the three to five months contain
WEEK 1–2
Product shape
What version one is, what it cuts, which user it's for first. If the original brief doesn't survive the first two weeks, you hear it from us.
WEEK 3 ONWARD
Design and engineering in parallel
Weekly demos, not monthly status decks. You see the thing as it gets built.
LAUNCH
We ship version one to real users
Not a clickable prototype — the product you raised money to build.
HANDOVER
Everything transfers
Code, docs, architecture notes, internal libraries. We leave a team that can run it — yours or ours, your call.
Typical shape: 3–5 months, €120K–€300K.
We ship our own.
Fundset is our regulated fundraising platform. Three clients in production, three years running. MiCA-compliant and audited. €180K+ distributed through it. 700+ investors onboarded in the MilkyIce rescue that became Fundset's first module.

Who is it for?
Build is for you if:
- You just closed pre-seed or seed (€50K–€500K) and the money is in the account.
- You don't have a CTO, a design partner, or an in-house team yet.
- You want a team that will tell you when you're building the wrong thing — not one that builds whatever the spec says.
- You want to own everything when we leave.
Build isn't for you if:
- You want to buy engineer-hours by the month.
- You want someone who ships exactly what the spec says, no questions asked.
- You're shopping on price alone.
- You want a retainer relationship. We don't sell them.
