A prototype to test the idea.
The sprint shapes the product with you and tests the journey with the people it is for, before you commit to a full build.
Venture engineering
From first idea to a business that grows.
Build with engineers who understand what it takes to turn an idea into a working business. At EllieMD, CJ served as CTO through Bluebird as the business grew, so we bring the perspective of people who have built one. We help founders shape the product, ship the first release, and build the foundations for what comes next.
A good fit
You have an idea, a deck, or a prototype?
For founders and scale-ups who want engineers thinking about the business as well as the build.
Starts with the free conversation.
What you leave with
Make the idea tangible, test the journey, and agree what belongs in the first release.
- A prototype you can put in front of users and investors
- The first release, scoped

Before we begin.
What do we need to bring?
The idea, the deck or the prototype. The first conversation is free; the prototype sprint is paid, fixed-scope work that ends with the first release scoped and a proposal for building it.
How is a venture build paid for?
In fees, with equity or revenue share for the right opportunity, or a combination. They are the same terms we offer on every engagement: for the right ideas, we take outcome risk.
What happens after the first release?
Architecture and engineering support continue as the product and the team grow. The scope of each stage is agreed before it starts.
