We Build Your Commercial MVP. The Government Helps Fund It.
When building a software product or SaaS to sell, every dollar counts. We engineer your go-to-market software, APIs, and automated systems while systematically structuring development to qualify for the U.S. R&D Tax Credit — allowing you to recoup capital and stretch your investment further.
Protecting Angel & VC Capital
Investors want their capital spent on building core IP, not wasted on routine overhead. Our engineering framework ensures that your development spend is actively generating tax offsets from day one.
Instant Cash Reimbursement
For companies under 5 years old with less than $5M in revenue, these credits dollar-for-dollar offset your monthly payroll tax liability. It's effectively non-dilutive funding for your product development.
Higher Valuation Levers
By documenting your software architecture through an R&D framework, you prove to future investors that you own unique, defensible, and rigorously tested IP — boosting your next round's valuation metrics.
Lower Commercial Hurdles
Unlike internal software, software built for commercial sale faces far less IRS friction. Because your goal is to market and sell the product, the path to passing R&D requirements is significantly smoother.
What We Engineer for Your Customers
We build the scalable, high-performance architecture your business needs to win market share — while keeping tax compliance top of mind from the first sprint.
Audit-Ready Codebases. Investor-Approved Transparency.
The biggest challenge startups face when claiming R&D credits is lack of documentation. Most development agencies just ship code and leave. We protect you and your backers by baking compliance documentation right into our engineering lifecycle.
Coded Technical Uncertainties
We link our technical experiments, architectural alternatives, and iterative testing directly inside our Git commits and task boards to prove systematic evaluation to the IRS.
Clean QRE Asset Handoff
At project completion, we hand over an organized breakout of developer resource hours and infrastructure logs, ready to drop straight into your CPA's or R&D study provider's hands.
IP Confidentiality Protected
All scoping documents and technical specifications are handled under strict confidentiality. We protect your IP at every stage of the build.
The Standard 4-Part Baseline We Meet
Because we are building a product to be sold, leased, or licensed, we focus heavily on satisfying the IRS baseline:
What Makes Commercial Software R&D Credit-Friendly
Unlike internal-use software, commercial products face lower IRS scrutiny. We build to that advantage — creating the documentation trail that makes your credit claim airtight.
Product Build
Commercial SaaS, apps, and platforms built for market release
Qualified Expenses
Dev fees and contractor costs structured for maximum credit capture
Payroll Offset
Pre-revenue startups can offset up to $500K/yr in FICA taxes
Commit Logs
Technical uncertainties documented at the code level in real time
Study-Ready Pack
Resource allocation and tech briefings ready for your R&D provider
From Scoping to Shipped — and Credit-Ready
Our structured process keeps scope tight, delivery fast, and documentation clean from the first sprint to the final handoff.
Eligibility & Scoping
We assess your product vision, identify qualifying activities, and map the build to the IRS 4-Part test before writing a line of code.
Fixed-Scope Proposal
Statement of work delivered in days, with R&D documentation structure baked in. No open-ended retainers unless you want one.
Build & Document
We sprint through development while logging technical uncertainties, experiments, and decisions into Git and task boards in real time.
UAT & Launch
Your team validates the product. We resolve feedback, finalize the build, and prepare for go-live.
QRE Handoff
We deliver an organized developer resource breakout and technical briefing package — ready for your CPA or R&D study provider.
Build Your Product & Preserve Cash Runway.
Whether you're an angel-backed founder maximizing your seed round or an investor ensuring your portfolio spends smart — we map out your commercial build and maximize credit allocation.
You Own What We Build
No SaaS subscriptions layered on top. The IP is yours — hosted and deployed where you choose.
Non-Dilutive Funding Path
R&D credits that offset FICA taxes are effectively free capital — no equity given up, no debt taken on.
Credit Eligibility Built In
R&D documentation isn't an afterthought — it's part of how we run every sprint from the start.
Fixed-Scope Engagements
We define scope upfront and deliver on what we promise. Investors and founders both get clarity on spend.
Fast Turnaround
Most MVPs launch in 4–8 weeks. We move at startup pace without compromising quality or documentation.
Ongoing Support Available
Retainer or per-incident — we're available after launch to iterate, scale, and maintain what we've built.
