A product team, from day one.
Zero to MVP in 8–12 weeks
From product thesis to a live product people can actually use.
A full-stack team on one retainer
Design, frontend, backend, cloud, QA and strategic advice — not freelancers assembled one at a time.
Built to hand over from the start
The standards go in on day one, so nothing has to be retrofitted later.
Pricing that follows proof
Full partnership value up front. What you pay grows with demonstrated value, not promises.
Scoped before it starts
You know the shape and the cost before anyone writes code.
Your accounts, your code, your keys
No lock-in, and nothing that needs our permission to carry on without us.
Build the right thing. Not just build fast.
Most dev shops hand you engineers and ask what to build. We think that’s backwards. Build gives you a full-stack product team at founder speed; Navigate gives you the judgment to tell you what not to build.
The Build pillar
Zero-to-one and rebuilds: the substrate, the product, the ship date — foundation before intelligence, at startup speed. Full-stack engineering, design, cloud and QA on a single retainer, working in your Slack, joining your standups. No scope documents or change requests standing between you and progress. A clever feature on a shaky base is just faster chaos, so we build the foundation that makes everything above it hold.
The Navigate pillar
The judgment side: what to build, what to skip, and when the architecture is ready to carry weight — the standing partner through decisions a first-time team hits once and we have hit many times. For post-MVP founders it starts with evidence: ProductLens, our own repository-intelligence tool, gives you a plain-English read of what your codebase actually is — docs-claim versus code-reality, down to the file and line. Know what’s really inside your product before your investors ask.
Foundation Sprint
Every engagement starts with a deep dive into your market, your users and your product thesis. We don’t write code until we’re confident we’re building the right thing. Scoped and priced up front, and it produces the playbook everything after follows.
In-house feel
Same Slack channels, same standups, same responsiveness. We operate like your internal team because that is what we are for the duration. The switching cost isn’t artificial — it is real context and compounding knowledge of your product.
Three reasons, none of them a discount.
Pattern
recognition
We have seen the zero-to-one journey many times over. We know what features to cut, what architectures scale, what investors look for in technical due diligence, and what mistakes cost six months. That experience is built into every decision.
Aligned
incentives
Our prove-first model means we deliver the full partnership value before asking you to pay for it. We only charge more when you have seen the difference firsthand. The founders who stay are the ones we want as long-term partners.
Freedom
included
Any model, any cloud, chosen for your product — and everything we build is yours: code, infrastructure, documentation, keys. You could switch teams tomorrow. That is deliberate.
Start with an MVP. Grow into the whole stack.
Before any of that: go and look at what we have actually shipped for founders — the MVPs, the models, the infrastructure underneath them, each one named and linked. See the work →
ProductLens
The evidence read — what is really inside your product.
Build
The substrate and the product, shipped.
Navigate
The judgment, standing beside you.
Graduate
The foundation hardens; your team gets a floor to build on.
Run · build · think
The same three layers every business we work with climbs.
The MVP isn’t the end of the relationship. It’s the first rung. As you scale, the same firm that shipped your product hardens your foundation and builds the layer where the company decides and learns better over time.
The ramp-up, the wrong turns, the expensive lessons.
Most first-time founders spend months assembling the wrong team, building the wrong thing, and learning lessons the hard way. We compress that by giving you the team, the expertise and the judgment from day one.
Modern stack, production ready.
Your product is built on the same tools used by the best engineering teams in the world — chosen for your requirements, not our habits.
Frontend & mobile
React, Next.js, React Native — cross-platform web and mobile with one team.
Backend
Node.js, Python, Go — APIs and services built for performance and scale.
Data
PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis — the data layer designed for your specific use case.
Infrastructure
AWS, GCP, Vercel — deployed on the right cloud for your requirements and budget.
Design
Figma, Tailwind, component systems — interfaces that look and feel intentional.
AI features
Frontier and open models, embeddings, retrieval — built in from the start, not bolted on after.
Trusted by ambitious founders.
Unedited, and chosen because each one names something specific rather than saying we were great to work with.
“They’re not just developers. They think like product owners. From UX decisions to roadmap prioritisation, TGH acted like a true product partner who cared about growth as much as we did.”
“Most agencies just wanted to execute a feature list. With TGH it was different — they asked why every feature mattered. They helped me simplify, launch faster, then scaled the same MVP into a stable V2.”
“You can tell they’ve built dozens of products before. Every suggestion came from experience — what works, what doesn’t, what scales. That clarity saved us weeks of rework and thousands in cost.”
“As a non-technical founder, I always worried about communication gaps. TGH made it effortless — they explained every technical trade-off in plain English and guided me on launch strategy.”
“They bring pattern recognition, not just code. That is the difference between someone building what you asked for and someone telling you what you should have asked for.”
Our favourite number is the quiet one: what clients still run a year after we left.
