MOONSHINE_LABS

Tell us what you’re building.

Software, hardware, or somewhere between the two.

Come with an idea, a spec, a prototype, or something already in production. We can build it from the beginning, join what’s already underway, or take on one specific piece. Zero to one, or one to n.

Built a bunch of it with AI? Bring that too.

// Why us

Buy the outcome, not the org chart.

  • Instead of hiringA hard product can need five specialties for three months and none of them after. We are that team for the stretch that needs it, and gone when it doesn’t.
  • Instead of an agencyNo account managers, no open-ended discovery, no deck. You talk to the people writing the code, and the engagement ends in something that runs.
  • Instead of stretching your teamHand us the part nobody has time for, or the part nobody has built before. Your team keeps shipping; we take the hard, unfamiliar piece.

// How it works

Low risk. Fixed shape. Something that runs.

  1. Tell us the problem.

    Book 30 minutes or write it out. What you’re making, where it is now, and what done looks like.

  2. Get a straight feasibility read.

    What’s genuinely hard, where the leverage is, and whether we’re the right people. Free, and we’ll say so if we’re not.

  3. We scope a bounded first engagement.

    Fixed shape, one clear deliverable, a price agreed before any work starts. No open-ended retainer.

  4. We build.

    The same small team, working the hard part.

  5. You get something that runs.

    Not a slide deck. A prototype, a feature, or a working system you can inspect.

  6. Continue only if there’s a useful next phase.

    Or don’t. Each engagement stands on its own.

// What it costs

Scoped up front. Priced before we start.

  • Starting pointMost first engagements start around $10k. Larger builds and ongoing work scale from there.
  • Fixed shapeEvery engagement has a clear deliverable and a price agreed before any work begins. No surprises.
  • What you receiveWorking software or hardware you can run and inspect, plus the source and enough context for your team to carry it on.
  • How longA first engagement usually runs a few weeks, not a few quarters.
  • If we’re not the right fitWe’ll tell you fast and point you toward someone better. The feasibility read costs you nothing either way.

// What to bring

  • 01The thing. What are you making?
  • 02Where it is now. Idea, spec, prototype, live system, hardware on a bench, whatever exists.
  • 03Where you want it to go. What would you like to happen next?

Timeline and budget help if you know them. Skip them if you don’t.

// Or send it from here

One quick check that you’re human, then the form appears. It’s only sent to real visitors, so the spam bots never see it.

Not sure whether it’s a fit? Send it anyway. A person reads every one of these, and if we’re not the right people we’ll say so quickly and point you toward someone better.
