For founders who need to ship
We're your technical team. You run the business.
A senior product and engineering team you can outsource end to end, AI-powered, so we ship and scale faster while you stay focused on customers, growth, and fundraising.

Services
Your whole technical team, outsourced.
One senior team across the whole stack, from strategy to security, so you can stay focused on running the business. We don't hand you off to juniors halfway through.
Product design
Interfaces that feel inevitable. We design the system, the flows, and the details: accessible, fast, and ready to build the day they're done.
Full-stack engineering
Type-safe, tested, production-grade code. Next.js, TypeScript, and the boring-reliable infrastructure that scales when you do.
AI integration
LLM features that actually ship: retrieval, agents, and evaluations wired in with guardrails, not demos that fall over in production.
Launch & growth
Analytics, experiments, and the instrumentation to learn fast after launch. We help you turn a release into traction.
Fractional team
Need ongoing velocity? Keep a senior pod embedded, shipping every week, without the cost or risk of full-time hires.
Secure by default
Security best practices baked in from day one: secure auth, careful secrets handling, and hardened infrastructure, built in rather than bolted on.
Why FounderCrew
Agencies bill hours. We ship outcomes.
The difference between a contractor and a partner is who owns the result.
Senior-only, no detours
Every line is written by an engineer who has shipped at scale. No junior bench learning on your budget.
Fixed scope, fixed price
We quote the outcome, not an open-ended hourly meter. You know the cost and the date before we start.
You own everything
Clean repo, documented, yours from day one. No lock-in, no proprietary black boxes, no hostage code.
Weekly, shippable progress
You see working software every week, deployed to a real URL. No 3-month silence ending in a surprise.
Clear, fluent communication
Fluent English and French, with plain answers and no jargon games. You always know where the project stands.
US, EU & Gulf timezone friendly
We adapt to your timezone, across the US, Europe, and the Gulf, with real overlap hours so reviews and replies don't wait a day.
AI-powered, senior-reviewed
We build with AI so we ship faster and scale faster, with senior engineers reviewing every line. Speed of AI, judgment of people who've shipped at scale.
Built to scale with you
Architecture and infrastructure that hold up when traffic and the team grow. We build for your next 10x, not just your launch day.
Selected work
Products we took from zero to launched.
A few of the things we've shipped. Names changed where NDAs apply.
Rebuild · ScaleLaravel + Vue · CI/CD
Rebuilt a no-code product as a scalable app
A no-code stack was crashing under load. Rebuilt as a custom Laravel + Vue app with automated CI/CD and zero-downtime deploys: lower costs and revenue features that weren't possible before.
Fractional CTOLaunched + 4-eng team
Fractional CTO for a growing startup
Built the MVP from scratch, owned cloud architecture and CI/CD, and launched on schedule, then helped hire and onboard their own 4-engineer team.
Re-engineering · DevOps~3 months
Re-engineered a call-center platform + DevOps
Rewrote a full call-center application in about 3 months and introduced proper DevOps practices, integrating with the in-house team.
AI · SaaSmy-trevo.com
My Trevo, an AI co-pilot for founders
An AI assistant that automates day-to-day operations for solo founders: invoicing, payment follow-ups, contract review, and client management, integrated with Gmail, Calendar, WhatsApp, and Slack.
AI · SEO SaaSdecupler.com

Rescue · E-learningTook over & shipped
Rescued a stalled e-learning platform
A previous developer ghosted mid-project on Swedish Academy, an online sports-certification platform. We took over the codebase, finished the build, and shipped it: multilingual courses with online, hybrid, and in-person delivery.
ERP · IndustrySecurity + staff modules
ERP for a large industrial company
Built a custom ERP platform for a large industrial company, with hardened security and dedicated staff-management modules to run day-to-day operations across the business.
Process
Four steps from call to launch.
Tight, transparent, and built so you always know what's happening.
- 01
Discovery call
A 30-minute call to understand the goal, the users, and the constraints. You leave with a clear read on scope and fit.
- 02
Scope & plan
We define the smallest valuable launch, fix the price and timeline, and write it down. No surprises later.
- 03
Build in the open
Weekly deploys to a real URL. You review working software, not slide decks. Feedback loops stay short.
- 04
Launch & hand-off
We ship to production, hand over a documented repo, and stay close for the first weeks of real usage.
Who we are
Your senior technical partner.
FounderCrew is a senior product team that builds, ships, and secures your product end to end, bringing in trusted specialists when a project calls for it. You work directly with the people writing the code, never an account manager forwarding emails.
- Senior-led, end to end
- We build and secure; you run the business
- Trusted specialists brought in when needed
FounderCrew
What founders say
Trusted by founders.
Our rough idea became a real, working MVP in about 6 weeks. The code was clean and well thought out, so we could launch fast without things breaking down the line. Really solid work.
Robust MVP launched in 6 weeks.
CEO, Swedish Academy
He basically acted as our CTO and built our MVP from scratch. He shipped it, then helped us scale the tech side and grow the team to 4 developers. Genuinely great to work with.
Launched MVP and scaled technical team to 4 developers.
CEO, L2R Partner
In about 3 months our whole call center app was rewritten. He brought in proper DevOps practices and fit right in with our team. Couldn't have asked for more.
Rewrote call center app & established DevOps in 3 months.

FAQ
Questions founders ask us.
How fast can you start?
Usually within one to two weeks. After a discovery call and a locked scope, we slot you into the next available build window.
Do I own the code?
Completely. You get a clean, documented repository from day one, with no lock-in, no proprietary layers, and nothing held hostage.
What if my scope changes mid-build?
Small changes are part of the process. Larger pivots get re-scoped transparently so the price and timeline stay honest, and you'll never get a surprise invoice.
What stack do you build on?
It depends on your requirements. We work across a range of proven stacks, from Laravel and Vue to Next.js and TypeScript, and pick the right fit for your product on boring-reliable infrastructure that scales. We choose tools your future team can actually hire for, not exotic ones.
Can you work with our existing team?
Yes. We embed alongside in-house engineers, match your conventions, and leave the codebase better documented than we found it.
What about timezones and communication?
We work fluently in English and French and adapt to your timezone across the US, Europe, and the Gulf. You get real overlap hours, fast replies, and clear updates, not a 24-hour lag on every question.
Do you use AI to build?
Yes, heavily and carefully. AI lets us ship faster and scale faster, with senior engineers reviewing every line, and it's exactly why we ship faster than a traditional agency. You get the speed of AI with the judgment of people who have shipped at scale.
How do you handle security?
Security is part of how we build, not an afterthought: secure auth, careful secrets handling, and hardened infrastructure from day one. For formal penetration testing or audits, we bring in trusted specialists when a project calls for it.
What happens after launch?
Every build includes post-launch support, and many founders keep us on as an embedded pod. Either way, you're never left stranded at the finish line.
