Back to case studies

Ai Platform Startup

London based Ai platform startup, fresh off a major seed round. The CEO had just closed a successful seed round and needed to move fast. With investor expectations high and product demand growing, the roadmap was packed: onboarding overhaul, core LLM features, frontend refactors. But there was one major blocker: their internal team didn’t exist yet.

The Objective

Within days of our first call, we deployed a full contractor pod across product, design, and engineering. The goal? Build, ship, and scale all before the internal hiring machine kicked in. 

The Process

Rebuilt and launched a fully redesigned frontend—in just four weeks. Delivered core product features powered by LLM summarisation and ranking. Built the startup’s first reusable design system and testing infrastructure. Defined and executed a product roadmap that aligned with investor goals.  

  • Who We Placed:
    • 10 Software Engineers
    • 4 Product Managers
    • 3 Product Designers
    • 1 Head of Product (contract)
    • 1 Interim Engineering Lead 

The Result

From zero to 7,000 monthly active users in months. Secured follow-on funding. Phased contractor transition as the internal team scaled (some even joined full-time).
