What happens next.
A founder reads it
Not a sales team. You get a personal reply within 24 hours, usually sooner.
A 30 minute call
We talk through the product, the users and the constraints, and tell you honestly whether we are the right team.
A plan in writing
If it fits, a proposal follows within days: the scope, a week-by-week timeline and a fixed price.
Before you
get in touch.
What makes Hortensia different from other agencies?
We're not just developers, we're product partners. We challenge assumptions, push back when something won't work, and obsess over outcomes, not just deliverables. Our fixed-price model means we're invested in shipping something that actually works for your business, not billing hours. Every project gets senior talent from day one, not juniors learning on your dime.
What kind of results can I expect?
Our clients typically see 40 to 60% faster time-to-market compared to building in-house, products that scale to thousands of users without breaking, and the technical foundation to raise funding or grow revenue. We've helped clients raise $250K+ seed rounds, achieve $50K MRR, and onboard 15,000+ users. Your specific results depend on your market and execution, but we build for success.
How long does a typical project take?
Most MVPs take 12 to 20 weeks from kickoff to launch. A focused product with core features lands around 12 to 14 weeks. More complex platforms with integrations, multiple user types, or advanced features run 16 to 20 weeks. We'll give you an accurate timeline during our strategy call based on your specific requirements, no guessing.
Do I own the code and designs?
Yes, 100%. Once final payment is made, you own all code, designs, and intellectual property. We can host it on your GitHub from day one so you always have full access. No lock-in, no hostage situations. It's your product.
What technologies do you use?
We primarily use React/Next.js for frontend, Node.js or Python for backend, and PostgreSQL or MongoDB for databases. For mobile, we use React Native. We choose the best stack for your specific needs, not whatever's trendy. The goal is a codebase that's maintainable, scalable, and easy for future developers to work with.
How involved do I need to be during the project?
We need 3 to 5 hours per week from you for feedback, decisions, and testing. We handle everything else and keep you updated with weekly demos and async updates. You stay in control of the product direction without getting buried in implementation details. We'll tell you when we need you and respect your time when we don't.
