01
Tech Audit
The starting point for budgets under $15K and for vendor vetting: a clean read on your stack before you commit.
AI product engineering for funded startups
You've closed pre-seed to Series A and have an AI product to ship. Add senior engineering capacity without trading away code quality or delivery discipline.
Audience fit
Is this you?
A quick fit check before either side spends time on a call.
Who this is for
- Pre-seed to Series A AI product startups
- Companies with $500K–$10M raised
- Teams of 3–30 people
- Building in AI Marketing, AI Healthtech, or AI Fintech
- A founder or CTO, technical or not; we handle both
- You have a defined product, or a near-defined product
Who this isn’t for
- Enterprise companies ($200K+ project budgets): we serve startups, not the Fortune 500
- Bootstrap or pre-funding companies with under $10K budget: start with a Tech Audit instead
- Non-AI products: we only take AI work
- Marketing services buyers: we build software, we don’t run campaigns

Engagements
What we typically do for funded startups
Start with the smallest engagement that resolves the next engineering decision.
02
Discovery Sprint
For a new product build that needs scoping. We pin down architecture, scope, and a realistic plan before any code ships.
03
Project Build
Fixed-scope delivery, typically after a Discovery Sprint has pinned down the spec.
04
Embedded Squad
For Series A+ companies with evolving roadmaps: an embedded senior team that flexes with your priorities.
05
Project Rescue
For projects a previous vendor left broken or behind schedule. We stabilise the codebase and get it shipping again.
Funded startups we’ve shipped with
AI Ads Assistant for Meta and TikTok
We built a minimum viable product to connect disparate advertising APIs into a single, intuitive user interface.
AI Mental Health Companion
We engineered a voice-first AI companion with a therapeutic framework to validate a new model for mental health support.
AI Contract Generation Platform
We built the technical foundation for a SaaS platform that automates complex legal document creation with usage-based pricing system
Starting point
Where most funded startups start
Tech Audit or Discovery Sprint
For most funded startups, the right starting point is either a Tech Audit (if you’re still vetting vendors) or a Discovery Sprint (if you’re ready to commit to a build). Project Build follows once scope is locked. Embedded Squad makes sense once Series A growth calls for ongoing capacity.

Production delivery
Your investors backed a product. We make sure it ships.
Tech Audit, Discovery Sprint, Project Build: start with the smallest engagement that answers your next engineering decision. Fixed scope, senior engineers, no junior padding.
A note from the founder
From the founder
I started Robust Devs in 2019 after watching too many good products die between agencies. The pattern was always the same: big promises in the sales call, silence by week six. We built this firm to be the opposite of that. A small senior team, honest scope, and the uncomfortable truth delivered early.
If you are building in marketing, healthtech, or fintech, tell me what you are working on. If we are not the right team for it, I will say so on the first call and point you somewhere better.

Frequently asked questions
Anything sub-$15K routes to a Tech Audit; it’s the cleanest way to get value fast. Larger scopes move into a Project Build, usually after a Discovery Sprint.
