Who we build for

Built for startup teams

For founders & CEOs

  • Get a working MVP in front of users sooner
  • Decide what to build first and what to leave out
  • Add AI features without building an AI team

For CTOs & technical co-founders

  • Add senior engineers who lead and deliver
  • Keep the architecture ready for growth
  • Connect third-party systems without slowing the roadmap

Common questions about software development for startups

Yes. We help shape scope and priorities: what must exist at launch, what can wait and in what order to build it. You start building with a clear plan.
We set up clean architecture, CI pipelines and automated tests from the start. For Mobly, a young Belgian mobility and insurance company, Hotovo took responsibility for architecture, technology design and development, and delivered a multi-layer backend, two administration dashboards and a mobile web app on a stable foundation from day one.
Yes. For Old Street Solutions we built a Confluence MVP to prove the concept, then Custom Charts for Jira. It reached 2,000 installations within a year, serves 400,000+ users and was acquired by Tempo.
Yes. PolyAPI started with a couple of Hotovo developers to bootstrap the idea and validate the concept. After pre-seed funding the team grew to four engineers for the V1 platform, and it kept growing after launch.
Yes, when they solve a real user problem. We build practical AI features and measure whether they work. All our developers also use agentic AI coding tools as standard, which speeds up delivery without sacrificing quality.
It depends on scope, integrations and team size. We start by shaping scope and priorities, so the first release includes only what it needs to. The Check Project Fit survey gives you a first assessment of scope, architecture and approach.
