THE FOUNDER PROTECTION GUARANTEE

01

Zero Maintenance Retainers

We don't trap founders in expensive, mandatory support contracts. Because we engineer clean, high-performance architecture from day one, your platform runs smoothly without requiring a monthly retainer just to stay online. You get complete codebase independence and 100% IP ownership—no vendor lock-in, ever.

02

Lifetime Bug Warranty

Code stability shouldn't come with an expiration date. We stand behind our engineering architecture completely. If a functional bug is ever discovered in our code post-launch—whether it’s three months or three years later—our senior engineering team fixes it entirely free of charge. No retainer required, no fine print.

03

Fixed-Price Guarantee

Vague "Agile estimates" usually lead to budget blowouts and compromised scopes. We do things differently. By conducting deep technical architecture mapping before writing code, we lock in a single, fixed price with zero hidden variables. What we quote is exactly what you pay—from initial blueprint to final deployment.

FAQ

Got specific questions?

What types of businesses do you work with?

Techne HQ operates strictly as the premium, non-competitive technical execution arm for venture-backed startup founders scaling high-concurrency software, mid-market enterprises deploying complex platform infrastructures, and independent UX/UI design studios requiring elite backend continuity.

• Venture-Backed Startup Founders: We perform the technical hardening required to transform product visions into high-caliber, institutional software assets. Our engineering pipelines are custom-built to survive market storms, scale cleanly, and pass rigorous investor technical due diligence.

• Mid-Market Enterprise & Software Innovators: We construct high-concurrency, enterprise-grade backend frameworks and robust global API ecosystems engineered to scale effortlessly to support over $50M+ in platform traffic volume without performance degradation.

• Independent UX/UI Design & Creative Agencies: We operate entirely behind the scenes as your trusted, 100% in-house engineering team. We take multi-layered accountability for complex system mapping, zero-trust cybersecurity, and database execution, enabling creative groups to confidently upsell enterprise-grade development capabilities to their clients with zero overhead or channel risk.

Do you offer full end-to-end development, or can you work with our existing designs?

We approach incoming design assets through a disciplined, dual-lens strategy that maps visual layouts into an active engineering roadmap, eliminating user friction while verifying technical feasibility before writing a single line of code.

• Ingesting Existing Figma Files & Visual Layouts: We do not blindly translate visual layouts into generic code. Our engineering team conducts an active optimization review to maximize backend ROI, streamline data pathways, and eliminate latent technical friction. For creative agencies, this guarantees that your precise visual intent is executed with pixel-perfection while protecting your absolute creative control.

• The Precision Discovery Blueprinting Phase: Over 70% of software projects fail because they skip a rigorous discovery phase. We close the gap between vision and execution by conducting a collaborative walkthrough of your product's DNA. We document exactly how every button, swipe, hover effect, and logic gate functions under the hood. This solves logic gaps during blueprinting where pivoting costs $0—rather than forcing a $50,000 refactoring penalty post-build.

How much does it cost to build an app with Techne?

Every single engagement accepted by Techne HQ is bound by an ironclad fixed-price contract and a hard-dated launch timeline driven entirely by a granular pre-development scoping phase.

• Rejecting the "Agile" Shell Game: The software market is saturated with amateur teams rushing broken code and cutting corners just to claim they are fast and affordable, all while hiding behind the label of "Agile". We completely reject this game. We do not reject agile development velocity metrics; we reject the exploitation of the methodology as a shield to mask scope creep, unpredictable hourly billing, and rolling budget blowouts.

• Fixed-Price Certainty: Through an itemized engineering scope session, we deconstruct big ideas into executable, transparently priced development modules. You receive a granular breakdown detailing the specific engineering talent required and the exact hours allocated. The finalized cost we quote during the architectural blueprint phase is exactly what you pay from the first server commit to live deployment—no shifting "estimates" and no hidden fees.

How long does it take to fully engineer and launch a production-grade platform?

A standard production-grade MVP requires between 12 to 24 weeks to fully engineer and deploy, utilizing a highly structured, transparent 4-week pre-construction blueprint container to insulate your investment.

To insulate your capital from common industry pitfalls, we initiate every engineering track with a rigid 4-week architectural staging cycle:

◦ Week 1 (The Product Roadmap): Active feature deconstruction, user journey flow validation, functional clarity mapping, and developer reality checks.

◦ Week 2 (The Architectural Blueprint): Strategy session with our Technical Lead, Software Architect, and Project Manager to select the system skeleton, configure robust cybersecurity frameworks, map out API integration path strategies, and deliver a fixed-cost guarantee.

◦ Week 3 (Development Prep & Logic Mapping): High-fidelity design synchronization, interactive logic flow mapping, configuration of AI & automation workflows, and final production of the Master Product Requirements Document (PRD).

◦ Week 4 (Development & Asset Sovereignty): Onboarding core infrastructure pipelines, initializing server and repository access layers, and initiating active, high-velocity construction sprints.

Cross-Platform vs. Native Mobile Architecture: Which path is right for our initial deployment?

To insulate startup capital from unnecessary inflation, Techne HQ leverages high-efficiency cross-platform architectures optimized for iOS and Android simultaneously, preventing the doubled development overhead of separate native codebases.

• Eradicating the Double-Development Penalty: Rushing into individual native Apple and Android codebases requires maintaining two distinct engineering teams, tracking separate repositories, and doubling the cost of every post-launch feature pivot. We architect on advanced cross-platform frameworks engineered for native-parity performance on both operating systems out of a single, streamlined codebase.

• Evaluating System Viability: If your product relies heavily on search engine indexing, features low-frequency usage intervals, and lacks a need for localized hardware access (e.g., background GPS loops or continuous biometric alerts), we build a responsive web application to accelerate your go-to-market timeline. If your product demands real-time data synchronization or hardware-level resilience, we deploy custom mobile architecture.

How do patents, NDAs, and repository setups protect our intellectual property?

True intellectual property protection is achieved through technical execution velocity and absolute codebase sovereignty, rather than relying on expensive, brittle software patents or easily bypassed Non-Disclosure Agreements.

• The Myth of Software Patents: The global market is filled with founders who waste critical runway capital trying to patent early-stage ideas, only to find the patent generates less revenue than it cost to secure. In software, execution speed and market momentum completely trump legal preservation. Anyone can replicate a conceptual feature, but they cannot easily replicate an enterprise-grade execution engine.

• Enforcing Absolute Asset Sovereignty: Instead of letting an agency host your product on their internal networks, Techne HQ guides you through the direct configuration of your own secure cloud clusters and GitHub repositories from day one. Every single line of code is committed directly to your sovereign infrastructure, wrapping your intellectual property in a digital fortress that ensures you own the keys to your kingdom.

What technical benchmarks do institutional investors evaluate during an engineering or exit audit?

Venture capital firms and institutional buyers evaluate system scalability, documentation accuracy, user retention loops, and code security, entirely dismissing unscalable prototypes built on hidden technical debt.

To clear strict technical due diligence, your platform must prove it features a clean, heavily documented codebase capable of handling concurrent enterprise traffic spikes. We engineer platforms to ensure your code infrastructure acts as a primary value asset that increases company valuation, not a technical liability that halts fundraising. Our development standards are proven across global, venture-backed marketplace systems:

• Ambl: Custom cross-platform architecture that secured $15M in funding rounds and supports over 150,000+ active enterprise and consumer users.

• GymGoer: End-to-end mobile development and frictionless booking engine that unlocked a $4M+ market valuation post-launch.

• Learna & BookDrive: Award-winning B2B EdTech dashboards and SaaS logistics infrastructure backed by elite government innovation funds.

Can Techne HQ take over, rescue, or refactor an existing software platform?

Yes, a core specialization of our technical team involves executing high-stakes forensic dives, technical hardening, and codebase rescue sprints for systems left stranded by low-cost offshore agencies.

• The Forensic Codebase Audit: Our senior architects execute a comprehensive structural dive across your inherited source code repositories, API integration nodes, security parameter boundaries, and database health.

• Eradicating "Spaghetti Code": We systematically isolate brittle logic, patch critical vulnerabilities, eliminate hidden engineering debt, and lay down a clean, heavily documented foundation. This recovery roadmap transforms a fragile prototype into a stable, enterprise-grade asset engineered to safely handle market expansion.

What operational parameters govern the Lifetime Bug-Fix Warranty?

Techne HQ stands permanently behind its compiled architecture with an absolute Lifetime Bug-Fix Warranty that resolves any functional software bug inside our original code entirely free of charge.

• Zero-Retainer Security Architecture: Whether an unexpected logical bug surfaces three months or three years post-deployment, our core engineering team will resolve it immediately without requiring ongoing monthly maintenance fees or complex bureaucratic ticketing loops. We maintain the perimeter so you can focus entirely on hunting revenue.

• Core Integrity Parameters: To preserve lifetime warranty coverage, the application's production source code repositories must remain unmodified by outside third-party developers or internal client teams post-deployment. We do not use subcontractors or offshore third parties. Every member of your development team is a full-time Techne employee, ensuring deep institutional knowledge of your codebase for long-haul scaling.
