Four disciplines.One senior team.
End-to-end product development for founders. We decide what to build, design it, engineer it and help you win the first customers, with the same people from the first call to launch day.
Strategy
Validate before you build.
Most products fail because they build the wrong thing. We validate your market, sharpen your positioning and decide exactly what to build first, before a line of code is written.
What you get
- Market and competitor analysis
- User research and personas
- Positioning and messaging
- Feature prioritization
- Technical architecture plan
- Go-to-market roadmap
Design
Experiences people come back to.
Beautiful is not enough. We design products that turn visitors into users and users into advocates, and we test them with real people before they are built.
What you get
- User journey mapping
- Wireframes and interactive prototypes
- Visual design system
- Interaction design
- Usability testing
- Design handoff and documentation
Build
Ship fast, scale later.
Production-grade code on a modern stack, with the engineering habits that let you change course quickly today and grow with confidence tomorrow.
What you get
- Full-stack web development
- Mobile apps for iOS and Android
- APIs and backend systems
- Third-party integrations
- Deployment pipelines and DevOps
- Security and compliance
Grow
Launch is the beginning.
A product without users is just a project. We help you launch, win the first customers and keep improving on real data instead of opinions.
What you get
- Launch strategy and execution
- Analytics and tracking setup
- A/B testing and optimization
- Growth experiments
- Performance monitoring
- Ongoing iteration support

Scope, price
and what to expect.
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 do fixed-price packages work?
We scope your project during the strategy call and agree on a fixed price before starting. No hourly billing, no surprise costs, no watching the meter run. You know exactly what you're paying before we write a single line of code. If requirements change significantly mid-project, we discuss scope adjustments transparently, but we don't nickel-and-dime you for normal iteration.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. Standard terms are 50% upfront, 50% at launch. For larger projects, we can structure milestone-based payments tied to deliverables. We want to make it work for your cash flow while protecting both sides.
Not sure which package fits?
Most founders aren't, at first. Tell us what you're building and we'll recommend a scope, a timeline and a fixed price within 48 hours of the call.
