The team
The people who build it.
Ex-startup founders and senior builders. You work with all of them, directly.
We're a team of ex-startup founders who build software for a living, based in Baltimore. Custom SaaS, internal tools and online stores for growing businesses — fixed price, and fully yours.
founderandai started from a simple frustration: great software shouldn't take an agency six months and end in a five-figure surprise. So we built the studio we'd want to hire.
We've run Codex and Claude in the loop since day one. That's not a gimmick — it's how a weekend turns into what agencies bill as a quarter, without cutting corners on quality.
You talk to the people who build it, every project. Fixed price, fixed timeline, and you own every line of code.
Built in Baltimore and working with founders across the US and Europe — real time zones, real conversations, and never an offshore hand-off.
The agency model is slow and expensive because of everyone between you and the code. We removed them.
AI-accelerated builds. A weekend does what a quarter used to.
The people who scope it are the people who ship it. No account managers.
You know the number and the date before we start. No hourly meter.
The code, the keys, the accounts. No lock-in, no offshore markup.
