What Austin founders usually need first
A lot of Austin software work starts with a founder, a deck and a deadline. UT Austin and the large tech employers around the city turn out plenty of people who go on to start companies, and SXSW brings investors to town every March. Hiring senior engineers here is slow and expensive, though, and a seed round does not stretch far. So the first question we ask is what the product has to prove before the next raise, and what can wait.
The other kind of Austin client is a company past the startup stage, with five or ten engineers who are all busy on the core product. They need an internal platform, a billing rebuild or an integration nobody has time for. We take that on as a separate project with its own scope, work inside your repositories and review process, and write documentation as we go so your team can run it after we step back.
Typical custom software development projects in Austin
Cohort-based course platform
Live and recorded lessons, assignments graded by instructors, cohort calendars and payments for an ed-tech startup selling to professionals, plus an instructor dashboard that shows who has fallen behind.
Telehealth intake and scheduling
Patient intake forms, insurance details, provider calendars and a video visit link, designed for HIPAA. Clinic staff get an admin side where they manage availability and follow up on no-shows.

We are raising a seed round in Austin. What should the MVP include?
Enough for a customer to pay and come back. Usually that means sign-up, one core workflow, Stripe billing and basic analytics so you can show usage to investors. We build it multi-tenant from the start, because adding tenant separation after the first customers are live is a painful and expensive rewrite.
Our Austin engineering team is small. Can you work alongside it?
Yes. We usually take one clear piece, such as an admin platform, a billing module or an integration, and own it inside your repositories. We follow your code style and pull-request reviews, join your standups and document as we go, so your engineers can take over without a long handover.
Many Austin startups pitch an AI feature. How do you build one that holds up with real customers?
We start with a narrow task, like summarizing documents or answering questions over a customer’s own data, and check answers against real examples before launch. Then we add guardrails, logging, per-customer cost limits and a fallback for when the model is slow. Usage costs appear in your admin panel, so pricing decisions rest on real numbers.
Have you built subscription products like the ones Austin consumer brands run?
Yes. For Spinning, an indoor-cycling training company, we worked on the app through which subscribers take classes filmed by master instructors in Los Angeles. We also built Currux, a car rental and subscription marketplace. In both, recurring billing and plan changes had to work correctly every month.
How much does custom software cost for an Austin startup?
The number of user roles, integrations and AI features drives most of the cost. A proof of concept starts at $2,400 and an MVP at $9,600. A market-ready SaaS product starts at $28,800, and an enterprise platform at $57,600. Each package is fixed-price once discovery is done.
