Question 1

What is Fasten Teams?

Accepted Answer

A small, senior, remote-first product studio. We design, build, and launch web and mobile MVPs, ship practical AI features and agent pilots, and run the growth engineering — SEO, performance, analytics — that gets products used. One team, end to end.

Question 2

How big is the team — and who actually does the work?

Accepted Answer

Four people, and the four people on our About page are exactly who writes your code. No outsourcing, no juniors behind a curtain. Small is the point: senior attention on every project we take.

Question 3

What does a typical engagement cost?

Accepted Answer

Three models, priced up front: the MVP Launchpad (from $10K — idea to launched product in 8–12 weeks), the AI Agent Pilot (from $7.5K — one working agent in 3–4 weeks), and the Growth Engine retainer (from $2.5K/month — ongoing product and growth work). Fixed quotes before we start, no surprise invoices.

Question 4

Who owns the code and IP?

Accepted Answer

You do, fully. We work in your repositories and your cloud accounts from day one, and everything — code, designs, prompts, documentation — is yours on handover. No lock-in by design.

Question 5

How do you work across time zones?

Accepted Answer

We're remote-first with team members across Europe and South Asia, which gives us natural overlap with European business hours. You get guaranteed overlap windows for calls, daily async updates, and a demo every week.

Question 6

What's your stack?

Accepted Answer

TypeScript end to end where it makes sense: Next.js and React for web, React Native for mobile, Node.js or Python (FastAPI) for backends, PostgreSQL for data, and Vercel or AWS for infrastructure. For AI work: OpenAI, Anthropic, and Groq models with RAG over your own data.

Question 7

Do you build AI into products?

Accepted Answer

Yes — when it earns its place. Vocab, the language-learning platform we built, runs AI-generated mnemonics in production. And we'll tell you plainly when AI is the wrong tool: a rules engine that works beats an agent that only demos well.

Question 8

How fast can you really ship an MVP?

Accepted Answer

8–12 weeks from kickoff to a launched product for a typical scope — with working software in your hands every week from week one. What makes it possible is scope discipline: we cut to the core loop, launch, and iterate on real usage.

Question 9

Can we talk to your engineers directly?

Accepted Answer

That's the only way we work. The person on the intro call, the person answering your messages, and the person writing your code are the same people.

Question 10

What happens after launch?

Accepted Answer

Your call. Full handover with documentation if you're taking it in-house, or the Growth Engine retainer if you want the same team shipping improvements and growing usage. Either way, everything stays yours.

AI agents and LLM features, scoped to earn their keep.
