You have the idea and maybe a prototype
We turn it into a scope with a price range and a build-or-wait decision.

Solutions for founders
You own the idea. We own the engineering judgment
For founders without a CTO: someone who turns the idea into a scope, says what it costs, builds it in weeks, and explains every decision in plain language. You keep the product, the code and the accounts.

This is for you if you need a CTO’s judgment without hiring one yet
You want one accountable partner
A lead who talks to you in plain language and owns delivery.
The budget is finite
A first working version through our AI Software Factory costs $60k–$150k, depending on complexity. We agree the scope before committing to a schedule.
You will raise money on this
Document the code and infrastructure so an investor’s technical reviewer can inspect them.
Technical help for founders. Decisions explained in plain language
How we work with founders
Discovery that ends with a decision
A written scope and price range, with a clear list of what can wait for a later version.
AI Software Factory
Our AI Software Factory targets a first working version in about six weeks, depending on scope. Engineers review the code and the checks that accompany it.
A lead who explains the work
You speak to the person responsible for delivery and get a written update on progress and open decisions.
Decisions we make with you
We explain the options so you can make the product decisions.
What to build first
The smallest product that proves the business, not the biggest one the brief allows.
Which tools and vendors
Mainstream stack, no exotic lock-in, costs you can forecast — chosen for a team you will hire later.
When to stop using AI
Prototyping tools get you far; we say where a senior engineer takes over before real users and real money arrive.
A founder-built app, ready for customers
Signal Mesh’s founders validated their idea before their sole developer left.
They needed a team to assess the inherited code and decide what to rebuild. We kept functional Python services and added the missing API layer, while rebuilding the frontend.
Signal Mesh went live in six months. The founders gave the team autonomy over technical decisions, with the founding user community testing before the public announcement.
Pirxey provides you the full package - you can ask for data experts, you can ask for AI experts, you can ask for frontend experts, and you have everything. The communication was really great - more than that, it was amazing.
What you get. Six ways we support founders
Discovery workshop
Turn your idea into a scope and price range, then decide what to build first.
AI Software Factory
A working product with tests and documentation.
Prototype audit
What to keep from a Lovable, Cursor or Claude Code build; what to replace.
AI features
Only where they earn their place; with cost control.
Fractional CTO support
Architecture, vendor and hiring decisions explained in plain language.
Hosting & operations
Set up in your accounts, documented, with costs you can see.
How we work
Plain language, written down
We set deadlines once the design is final, counted in working days, not as dates promised in a sales call. You hear about a problem from us, with options, while there is still time to choose.
We were impressed with their great communication, proactiveness, high-quality code, timely delivery, flexibility, and top-notch service.
How it works. From an idea to a product you own
Scoping call
What you want to achieve, by when, with what budget. We say on the call whether we are the right team, and what the smallest useful first step is.
Workshop & plan
A short workshop with your stakeholders: outcome, hard and soft deadlines, integrations, risks. You get a written scope, a price range and the split between what AI accelerates and what needs a senior engineer.
Build in increments
We build in deployable increments with code review and automated tests. You get a status daily at first, then weekly once trust is there. Scope lives in Linear; conversations happen in Slack.
Launch & grow
Monitoring, documentation and runbooks handed over, or a squad that stays. Either way the product can be operated without us.

What clients say
"Pirxey gave us the full package - frontend, backend, AI, and data - all under one roof, which meant we never had to coordinate multiple vendors. They thought like product owners, not contractors."
"What stayed with me was the communication. Fast, clear, and always with something concrete - a proposal, an update, a solution. We never had to wonder what was happening."
"Their ability to quickly deliver high-quality solutions while maintaining transparency in communication is rare."
"When you propose something to them, they don't simply say yes - they come back with a pro and con. You're not getting a classic developer who simply does and then you have to fix the thinking yourself. If I had another AI idea and wanted to pursue it, I would just use Pirxey."
"Well… didn't know what to expect but honestly, now I'm learning much from you guys. Had no idea an external tech partner can be so pro and organized."
"Their ability to quickly deliver high-quality solutions while maintaining transparency in communication is rare."
The people who explain the decisions
A founder should never have to guess what the engineers meant. If our status needs translation, we wrote it wrong.

Questions founders ask first
- The lead explains the decisions you need to make and sends written progress updates. You can ask for technical detail when it helps you choose the next step.
- The $60k–$150k range applies to a first working version built through our AI Software Factory. Discovery establishes whether your idea fits that model and how complexity affects the estimate.
- You do. Repositories, infrastructure accounts and documentation are yours from the first week.
- Often yes — a prototype clarifies the idea. We then audit it and keep what is safe. Our Mission Briefs explain where generated code tends to break.
- Yes: documented code, mainstream stack and written decisions make hiring easier, and we can sit in on technical interviews.
- For a scoped first version, our AI Software Factory target is about six weeks. We agree a separate demo milestone if you need something to show investors before launch.
- We cut scope with you, not quality. A smaller first version with tests and docs beats a bigger one that cannot be extended.
