A senior team that builds your software, and runs the operations behind it.
We were so happy with the engagement - everything from the quality of the code, the regular communication, the willingness to accommodate, the speed of work, it was incredible.
We are so anal about UI, and you nailed it. ... Genuinely, looking at the UI, it's so good.
Working with BYLD has been an absolute game-changer for us! They played a crucial role in building our MVP, delivering exceptional quality while staying aligned with our vision.
You were really proactive... It was awesome working with you. We are really happy with the results.
This team I'm working with now, like they're phenomenal. ... You're well ahead of track to be honest. ... In all the pitches I note that you guys are external and that this model works super well.
The speed of development has increased significantly... In terms of how it changes my life, it's a night and day experience change.
I've worked with BYLD on many projects and everything goes very smoothly each time.
You've way surpassed what we've paid you, we owe you big time.
Best dev partner I've had, by a long way. No scope creep. No surprises. No weekends spent chasing updates.
So overall, I thought the project was a success. ... He communicates well. His code quality was good. He was pretty detailed with his feedback ... I thought his code was very readable.
The dream team! Working with BYLD has been absolutely epic. We switched devs late Q1 and never looked back since. Communications, processes and work quality has been absolutely top notch, so good in fact we'll be moving forwards post-MVP with the team!
You guys were available by text almost all the time and you guys really helped us quickly... Overall it was great.
BYLD has been such a reliable partner, always getting us what we need right when we need it. It's been a pleasure collaborating with BYLD to bring the app to where it is today, and I'd highly recommend them for any software projects!
They've rebuilt our entire cloud infrastructure and ... 100% of customers devices (~20k FlightWalls) are fetching flight data from the new servers. It's a scalable system able to handle 500k+ devices ... and is actually cheaper to run than our old system. ... You guys are cracked and like can build stuff really fast.
If engineering is the thing holding your product back right now, this is probably for you.
Sometimes that's a founder trying to get a first version out the door. More often lately it's a team with a product that already works and a roadmap that's bigger than the people they have. Hiring senior engineers takes months, freelancers come and go, and the shops they've tried before did the work without ever really owning it.
I started BYLD because I was tired of seeing great ideas go to waste like that. There wasn't some dramatic origin story, just years of working as an engineer and watching founders come out of flaky freelancers and bloated dev shops with no ownership and no momentum. I didn't have co-founders and I didn't raise funding. I just started.
The bigger reason is that I think software unlocks abundance. Great engineers are everywhere, and a founder solving a hard problem shouldn't get worse engineering because of where they live or who they know. It's a big part of why we work with founders all over the world (and why I've taken more 4am calls than I can count).
The way we work is pretty simple. Whether we're building your first version or joining your team, the engineers you meet are the ones who do the work, and every one of them is senior. We push back when something doesn't make sense, we flag risk early, and we like to over-document so nothing's ambiguous. You'll see the work every week, and if something's going wrong you'll hear it from us before you have to ask.
Recently that meant embedding with TheFlightWall's team to move around 20,000 of their devices onto a new backend in under four weeks, and getting LottaHoney's new product live eight weeks after we signed.
We also run the whole company on Byld Ops, the platform we set up for founders. Our own proposals, invoices and projects live in it, so when we tell you it works, it's because we depend on it every day.
I'll be upfront about what I need from you too. You own the vision and the final call, and the faster you make decisions and tell us when something feels off, the better the product gets. The best projects I've worked on had both sides showing up.
If you want to see whether we're a fit, book 30 minutes with me. To be super transparent, I'm not here to sell you. If we're not the right team, or you'd be better off building a first version yourself with AI, I'll tell you that on the call. Either way you'll leave with an honest read. Let's build.
