We specialize in building functional, scalable SaaS applications designed for immediate business use—not throwaway MVPs or demo-ware. Typical builds include:

• CRM systems tailored to niche workflows (e.g., investor tracking, partner onboarding, field team coordination)

• Internal tools to replace spreadsheets, automate workflows, or consolidate fragmented processes

• Analytics dashboards with user-level auth, role-based access, and embedded charts

• Two-sided platforms with separate user types (e.g., vendor/buyer, creator/fan, manager/contractor)

• Inventory, scheduling, or operations management systems where structure, visibility, and speed matter

What we don’t build: anything requiring real-time hardware control, video streaming, or deeply specialized native mobile development. If you're unsure whether your idea fits, apply anyway—if it's not a good fit for the 30-day window, we’ll tell you straight.

No. While we can build an MVP if that’s what you need, Strike Ignite is not limited to MVPs.

We build stable, scalable web-based applications that are designed to go live, handle real users, and grow—not just prove a concept. Many clients continue running their apps for months or even years without needing a rewrite.

What sets Ignite apart is the focus: clear scope, clean architecture, and just enough flexibility to adapt without adding unnecessary bulk. This means:

• The first version is launch-ready, not half-baked

• Architecture supports future features, not hard-coded one-offs

• We balance speed with long-term maintainability

If you need an MVP, you’ll get something that actually works. If you need a Phase 1 product to replace internal chaos or consolidate tooling, you’ll get something stable, clean, and extensible.

Yes. You own everything we build—completely and unambiguously.

That includes:

• All source code (front-end, back-end, automation, infrastructure scripts)

• All design assets (if any are created)

• All configuration and environment settings

• All accounts used in development (GitHub, hosting, databases—created in your name)

• The full intellectual property rights, without restriction

We don’t use proprietary frameworks, closed platforms, or licensing traps. When we deliver the app, we hand over the keys—admin credentials, repo access, deployment history, and documentation (where applicable). You can continue with us, bring in your own devs, or hand it off to another team. Your app. Your rules.

This model is built on trust and transparency. Our reputation depends on it.

We use a battle-tested, modern web stack chosen for speed, scalability, and maintainability—no trendy frameworks, no vendor lock-in.

Most Strike Ignite builds use:

• Frontend: React or Next.js

• Backend: Node.js, Express, or Firebase Functions

• Database: PostgreSQL, Firebase, or Supabase

• Auth: Auth0, Firebase Auth, or custom JWT-based systems

• Hosting/Infra: Vercel, Render, Fly.io, or your AWS/GCP/Azure environment

• APIs & Integrations: Stripe, Twilio, Slack, SendGrid, Notion, Google Maps, and more (depending on use case)

We avoid overengineering. Every tech decision serves the build’s clarity, speed, and long-term viability.

We’ll also work with your preferences—if you want it built inside your AWS account, connected to your Notion workspace, or hosted on your company’s GitHub, we’ll make that happen.

Each Strike Ignite build includes 11 months of structured support after delivery, so you're not left managing everything alone once your app is live.

Your support plan covers:

• Bug fixes (anything broken that shouldn't be)

• Small enhancements (UI tweaks, logic adjustments, feature extensions)

• Infra updates (dependency bumps, minor config changes, uptime support)

• Usage support (how-to questions, onboarding assistance for your team)

• Up to 15 hours of work per month—tracked and reported transparently

Support time is scoped to keep you running and evolving without dragging you into another full build. If you ever need heavier work (like adding entire new modules), we’ll flag it and help you decide whether to spin up another Strike Ignite build or scope it separately.

Unused hours don’t roll over—but most clients use what they need without overages.

Yes. Once your 11-month support period ends—or even before—you have flexible options to continue working with us based on your evolving needs.

You can:

• Extend the original plan for another year (same monthly support structure)

• Shift to a monthly retainer for ongoing feature development or roadmap items

• Request a scoped Statement of Work (SOW) for larger one-off enhancements

• Pause support if you're stable, and re-engage later as needed

We won’t auto-renew anything, and we don’t believe in trapping clients in “maintenance contracts” they don’t use. You stay in control.

If your product gains traction and your needs increase, we can scale the relationship—whether that’s expanding hours, adding dev capacity, or helping you onboard internal engineers.

We scope tightly, move fast, and avoid the bloat that kills most timelines. The 30-day window is made possible by an intentionally constrained process built around speed and quality.

Here’s how it works:

1. Fast discovery — We align on your goals, users, and must-have features in a 15-minute call and a structured intake. No endless planning cycles.

2. Locked scope — You approve a written spec and delivery outline before kickoff. This keeps priorities fixed and the build focused.

3. Daily execution — We build in fast, tested iterations. Each week, you see working software.

4. Continuous feedback — You’ll have visibility into progress throughout. Small pivots are welcome, but we avoid scope creep.

5. Pre-launch polish — We wrap with deployment, handoff, and QA to make sure you're ready to go live—fast and clean.

The result? Real software. Delivered in 30 days. Built for production, not for demo-day slides.

Not every idea fits neatly into a 30-day build—and that’s okay. The key is transparency before kickoff.

If your app requires functionality that clearly exceeds the Strike Ignite scope (for example, 5+ user roles, complex permissions, real-time features, multi-language support), we’ll let you know during the scoping phase. From there, you have options:

• Phase it — We break the work into multiple 30-day Ignite builds, each with its own scope and timeline.

• De-scope — We help you trim the build to what’s essential for a clean v1. Future features can be handled in support or later phases.

• Shift to a custom engagement — If the project is significantly larger, we’ll scope it under a separate SOW outside the Ignite model.

What we don’t do is pretend your scope fits when it doesn’t. You’ll always get a clear, honest build plan with real tradeoffs—before we take your deposit.

We keep it clean, fast, and aligned with your brand.

By default, Strike Ignite includes foundational UX and visual polish—you’ll get a well-structured UI with your:

• Logo

• Brand colors

• Preferred fonts (or modern defaults)

• Button, link, and nav styling that reflects your identity

We design for clarity and speed—not for Dribbble.

If you already have a designer or a Figma file, we’ll implement it as long as it fits the scope. If you don’t, we apply a minimalist, professional aesthetic that works across devices and use cases.

We don’t offer standalone branding services, animation-heavy frontends, or full design systems inside Ignite—but you’ll walk away with a modern, usable product that feels like yours from day one.

Yes—and we actually prefer it.

From day one, we structure Strike Ignite builds so that you own everything, including the infrastructure. That means:

• We build inside your GitHub or GitLab repos

• We deploy to your Vercel, AWS, Render, or similar cloud environments

• We configure databases (e.g., Supabase, Firebase, Postgres) using your credentials

• We use your billing accounts for any third-party services (Stripe, Auth0, etc.)

If you don’t have accounts set up, we’ll walk you through it. If you do, we’ll work within them securely.

This ensures you retain full administrative control—and if you ever want to bring in your own devs, scale the platform, or off-board us entirely, there’s no dependency on Strike Labs. You own it. You run it.

Strike Ignite uses a simple, milestone-based payment structure:

• Initial deposit to reserve your build slot and begin onboarding

• Final payment due upon delivery or after 30 days—whichever comes first

There are no hidden fees, no change orders, and no creeping hourly charges. Everything is scoped and fixed from the outset. Once the proposal is approved and the deposit is received, your project enters the queue and the 30-day clock begins.

This structure allows us to move fast, stay focused, and avoid the friction of drawn-out invoicing or renegotiation mid-build.

Yes—but timing matters.

• If you cancel before the build starts, there’s no obligation. You’re free to walk away.

• If you cancel after the build begins, the deposit is non-refundable.

Why? Because once a build slot is locked in, we allocate dedicated developers and block capacity that could’ve gone to another client. The model is intentionally lean—fewer projects, tighter timelines, no room for churn.

We’ll never pressure you to commit early. You'll receive a full proposal, timeline, and scoping doc before any payment is due. If anything doesn’t feel right, stop there. But once we kick off, we run hard for 30 days—no half-speed engagements.

Once you apply through the form, here’s what happens:

1. We review your submission to ensure your project fits the Strike Ignite model (clean scope, 30-day feasibility, etc.).

2. If it looks like a good fit, we schedule a 15-minute discovery call—focused, fast, and founder-friendly.

3. Within 48 hours of that call, you’ll receive a written proposal with scope, timeline, and deliverables clearly defined.

4. If you’re ready, you submit the deposit and lock in your spot. That starts the 30-day clock.

We keep the intake light on friction but high on clarity. You won’t get a bloated PDF with filler content—you’ll get a plain-English build plan and the confidence to move forward fast.

Yes—and many clients do.

If you're managing multiple products, internal tools, or separate client-facing platforms, you can absolutely run more than one Strike Ignite build. We recommend:

• Starting with one app first, so we can calibrate together

• Stacking builds with a short buffer between them if you want to go back-to-back

• Reserving multiple queue slots in advance if timing is critical

Each build runs on its own 30-day timeline with its own scope and support plan. We won’t overlap deliveries unless you explicitly want that and we confirm developer availability.

And if your second app shares components with your first (auth, database structure, infra setup), we’ll streamline and reuse where possible to accelerate delivery.

We apply security best practices from the start—because most platforms aren't hardened after launch. Strike Ignite builds are designed to be safe from day one, not “patched later.”

Here’s what’s included by default:

• Role-based access control (RBAC) for multi-user systems

• Secure authentication via trusted providers (Auth0, Firebase Auth, or custom JWT)

• Encrypted data at rest and in transit

• Audit-friendly logging where appropriate

• Infrastructure built in your name, so you control credentials and keys

If you're operating in a regulated space (e.g., government, healthcare, finance), we can align to your existing policies or standards. We're not a FedRAMP shop, but we've worked with teams who require tight infosec oversight and have passed independent audits.

Bottom line: you own the infrastructure, and we build it as if we were staying inside it.

Very few—usually just 2 to 3 active builds at a time.

Strike Ignite isn’t a mass-production factory. It’s a focused engagement model designed for speed, quality, and trust. Each app gets senior-level attention and direct communication. We don’t hand off projects to junior developers or spread the team thin.

Our live queue is visible on the site, updated in real time. If you see a wait, that’s by design. We’d rather turn away work than rush delivery.

If you're accepted, you’ll have a locked-in build window—and we stick to it.
