Question 1

What is Fasten Teams?

Accepted Answer

Fasten Teams is a senior-led, remote-first product and engineering studio. We design, build, and launch full-stack web and mobile MVPs, ship production-grade AI features and agent pilots, and execute end-to-end growth engineering — technical SEO, performance optimization, and product analytics. One unified technical partner from initial architecture to market scale.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

Our studio is led by four hands-on partners across software architecture, engineering, and growth, supported by a core team of 20+ senior engineers, marketers, and product specialists. When niche domain expertise or extra bandwidth is required, we dynamically mobilize vetted contract specialists from our extensive global network. Every project is directly scoped, architected, and overseen by leadership to guarantee top-tier execution, speed, and accountability.

Question 3

What does a typical engagement cost?

Accepted Answer

We provide transparent, fixed-scope pricing across three primary engagement models: the MVP Launchpad (from $10K — idea to launched product in 8–12 weeks), the AI Agent Pilot (from $7.5K — one production-ready agent in 3–4 weeks), and the Growth Engine retainer (from $2.5K/month — continuous feature delivery, technical SEO, and conversion optimization). Every project begins with a binding quote and agreed milestones — no surprise invoices.

Question 4

Who owns the code and IP?

Accepted Answer

You own 100% of all intellectual property, source code, designs, AI prompts, and digital assets. From day one, we develop directly inside your Git repositories and cloud accounts (AWS, GCP, Vercel, Supabase). Everything transfers cleanly to your team upon completion with comprehensive documentation and zero vendor lock-in.

Question 5

How do you work across time zones?

Accepted Answer

We operate as a distributed, remote-first team across Europe and South Asia, providing extensive daily overlap with European, UK, North American, and APAC business hours. We ensure rapid momentum through dedicated async communication channels (Slack/Discord), daily check-ins, scheduled video syncs during mutual working hours, and weekly live demos.

Question 6

What's your stack?

Accepted Answer

We build with modern, production-tested technologies engineered for performance, security, and scalability. Our primary stack is TypeScript-driven: Next.js and React for web applications, React Native for mobile, Node.js and Python (FastAPI) for backend microservices, and PostgreSQL or Supabase for relational data. For AI systems, we leverage OpenAI, Anthropic, and open-source models with custom RAG pipelines and rigorous evaluation guardrails.

Question 7

Do you build AI into products?

Accepted Answer

Yes — wherever AI delivers genuine business utility. We design and deploy production-ready AI features, autonomous workflow agents, and context-aware RAG systems (including our language-learning platform Vocab, which runs AI-generated mnemonics in production). We take a pragmatic, engineering-first approach: if deterministic logic or a standard database query solves your problem better, faster, and cheaper than an LLM, we will recommend the simpler solution.

Question 8

How fast can you really ship an MVP?

Accepted Answer

Typically 8–12 weeks from kickoff to production release. We achieve this velocity through disciplined scoping, battle-tested component architectures, and weekly deployable releases starting from week one. By focusing relentlessly on your core user loop, we get you to market quickly so you can validate with real users and make data-driven product decisions.

Question 9

Can we talk to your engineers directly?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. We do not use intermediary account managers or administrative layers that slow down execution. You communicate directly with leadership and the dedicated engineers and specialists building your product via shared Slack or Discord workspaces, regular sprint syncs, and transparent code reviews.

Question 10

What happens after launch?

Accepted Answer

We tailor post-launch support to your business roadmap. If you are taking operations in-house, we provide a structured handover with architecture documentation, CI/CD pipelines, and team onboarding. Alternatively, many clients partner with us through our Growth Engine retainer, where our engineering and growth teams continue shipping new features, scaling infrastructure, and driving customer acquisition.
