we buildthe softwareyour business needs to ship
A small studio of senior engineers and designers. We partner with founders and operators to design, build, and ship custom products in web, mobile, AI, and cloud — fast, honest, and in your repository.
We treat every engagement like we're going to inherit the codebase ourselves — because, often, we are. Software that earns trust isn't built by farming out tickets; it's built by a small group of senior people who care about the thing, the team, and the decade-long second-order effects of the choices they make today.
Senior only
No outsourced staff augmentation, no learning on your dime. Every line of code is written by someone who's shipped before.
Honest scope
We price what we can deliver. If something is out of scope we'll say so before the kickoff, not on Slack at midnight.
Yours to keep
Code lives in your repo, documented for your next engineer. We design our way out of the work.
Four practices,
one team.
We organize our work around four disciplines that travel together. Most engagements touch two or three — you don't pay a separate vendor to make them talk to each other.

Raiken shipped more product in eight weeks than our previous agency shipped in nine months — and the code review was the easiest I've ever signed off on.
They argued with us when we were wrong, which is the only reason any of this works. We trust them with our hardest problems.
