Founding Partner Program

Build your MVP with a founding studio partner.

TechKis is a brand-new AI-first software studio actively booking our first 2–3 founding clients. In exchange for being a flagship reference, you get founder-friendly terms, a senior team's full attention and direct access to the people writing the code — not a sales layer.

What you get

A senior studio team, with skin in the game.

We're a brand-new studio looking for our first flagship references. That alignment is the whole proposition — and the trade is on the table from day one.

  • Co-create your product

    We refine your idea, sharpen the wedge and design the MVP with you — combining product workshops, technical feasibility and AI opportunity mapping. The output is a written scope and roadmap you can hold us to.

  • Sprint to a working MVP

    A focused 4–8 week sprint to ship a working MVP — agile delivery, weekly demos behind flags and AI features baked in where they actually help. Built on Next.js, React 19, Spring Boot or whatever your roadmap demands.

  • Founder-friendly terms

    Discount, milestone-based billing or a hybrid arrangement on our first 2–3 engagements while we build our portfolio. Concrete numbers stay offline — but the trade is simple: lower cost in exchange for being our flagship case study.

  • Scale & support beyond launch

    Post-MVP support, hardening and growth work on a retainer if it's a fit. We don't disappear after launch — and we don't get in the way of you scaling the team in-house when the time comes.

Our method

Three steps, from idea to launched MVP.

We keep the operating model simple — three phases, weekly cadence, written outputs at every gate.

  1. 01

    Co-discover

    Intensive workshops to refine the vision, map the user, score AI opportunities and write the architecture. Output: an MVP scope you actually want to build, with edge cases and trade-offs on paper.

  2. 02

    Co-build

    An agile sprint with weekly demos behind feature flags. We ship to real users early, gather feedback, and bake in AI, evals and observability from day one — not as an afterthought.

  3. 03

    Co-operate

    Launch, monitor, learn. Post-MVP we move into a smaller retainer for tuning, new features and supporting the team you'll eventually hire to take it over.

The journey

What it feels like, phase by phase.

A founding engagement isn't a transaction — it's a working relationship. Here's how each phase actually plays out for you.

  1. 01

    Spot the opportunity

    We meet, listen, ask the awkward questions and write back our honest read of the opportunity within a week. If we don't think we're the right partner, we'll tell you.

  2. 02

    Build fast, pivot smarter

    Working software in front of real users within weeks. Weekly demos, written changelogs and decision logs. Every assumption gets tested against real usage, not slide decks.

  3. 03

    Break technical barriers

    We handle the scaling questions, the AI evals, the security review and the architecture upgrades — so your team can stay focused on customers and product.

  4. 04

    Win or learn — together

    Some bets land, some don't. Either way you walk away with shipped software, real user feedback and a senior team that helped you make the call — not a vendor who disappeared at the contract end.
