We built each of these alongside the founder, in the codebase, for years. Some sold their companies. Some are still building. Some moved on, and we still get a drink when we're in the same city. Some are coming back to us with their new ventures. That's the version of this work we believe in — not the version where every project is a unicorn, but the version where the partnership outlasts whatever the business outcome turns out to be.

The way we work in 2026 is the same shape, with sharper tools. Modern engineering, AI agents in our workflow, human judgment on the calls that matter. The technology keeps changing. The way we partner doesn't.

Relationships matter. Agents can't deliver that.

ECOMMERCE / SHOPIFY APP Successful exit

One Engineer to Seven. 5x Growth. Clean Exit.

When we joined Whai Technologies in 2019, the product had a single engineer and an AWS bill that was bleeding money. By 2023, Visual Quiz Builder was running on 1M monthly visitors, powering brands like Function of Beauty and Mario Badescu, and ready for acquisition.

HORSE BREEDING / DATA ANALYTICS Live & growing

Three Years to Build It Wrong. Six Months to Ship It Right.

A large dev shop spent three years building Stallion Match as a waterfall project — and the team didn't know the difference between a stallion and a mare. We took one month to learn the domain, six months to ship a working product, and became G1 Racesoft's long-term technical partner.

THOROUGHBRED BREEDING / SAAS Modernization in progress

Ten Years of Production Code. They Trusted Us With It.

G1 Goldmine has been running as a paid SaaS for thoroughbred breeders since 2015 — real customers, real revenue, a database of every Group 1 stakes winner in the world. After we shipped Stallion Match for the same client, G1 Racesoft handed us their flagship. We're modernizing the engine without grounding the plane.

B2B SAAS / TEAM AUGMENTATION Live & growing

They Already Had Engineers. They Needed Engineers Who Think Product.

Bizly came to us in 2024 with a working engineering team and a specific frustration — their developers shipped features, but they didn't think like product people, didn't communicate cleanly, and didn't integrate well with the rest of the company. We started with four proofs of concept on the front end. Two years later we're embedded across front end, back end, QA, and AI workflows.

HEALTHTECH / SAFETY REPORTING Active paid pilots

We Don't Just Build for Founders. Sometimes We Become Them.

Dicerra came to us with a single-server codebase that couldn't scale and a B2C model that wasn't going to work for hospitals. We rebuilt the architecture, took it through SOC 2, helped pivot to B2B, stepped into the CPO seat — and put our own money behind the founders.

Status: Active paid pilots in Canadian hospitals · Compliance: SOC 2 · Akvasoft is: Technical partner, CPO, investor

MICROSTOCK ANALYTICS / GERMANY Closed (2022)

The One That Didn't Scale.

NektarStock started as an internal tool for a Frankfurt design studio scraping data across 10 microstock platforms. We helped turn it into a SaaS, built the subscriptions, ran customer interviews, and worked on ICP. The market wasn't big enough to carry it. We're still friends with the founders. That's how this kind of work should end.

Status: Closed (2022) · Our role: Engineering, SaaS conversion, ICP work · Our first European project

CIVIC TECH / SRI LANKA Live & growing

Our Own Product. 45 Councils. Built and Maintained at Our Cost.

eSabha connects Sri Lankan residents to their local councils — submit a complaint with a photo, track it, get an answer. We built it, we run it, and we cover the maintenance ourselves. Because some products shouldn't wait for the right business model to exist.
