Fractional CTO & Design Leadership
Our founders and startups don’t just need code—they need clarity. That’s where our Fractional CTO and Design Leadership come in. Whether you’re figuring out your data model, refining your product roadmap, or deciding between native vs. cross-platform, we help you make smart decisions early. Steve Polacek brings two decades of design, leadership, and product strategy to every table—whether it's a whiteboard session in Bishop Arts or a boardroom downtown. And when it comes to technical direction, Don Bora—our Chicago-based co-founder—steps in with deep architecture experience and startup know-how, ensuring your build is as solid as your vision.
Cross-Platform App Development
We build beautiful, fast, cross-platform apps using frameworks like Flutter and React Native—ideal for startups who need to launch across iOS and Android without doubling development costs. Dallas founders are known for scaling fast, and this is how we help you do it.
Native iOS & Android Development
Need the power of a native experience? We code apps in Swift and Kotlin for that buttery-smooth performance your users expect. Whether your customers are in Uptown or out in Plano, we build native apps that deliver.
AI-Integrated Applications
We use AI not just to enhance your app, but to accelerate how it's built. From automated features to smart user flows, our AI-assisted toolchain helps Dallas founders get to market smarter and faster.
UX/UI Design
Design isn’t just about how it looks—it’s how it feels. We create interfaces that are intuitive, engaging, and conversion-driven. Inspired by the creative pulse of Dallas—from the Design District to Deep Ellum—our design speaks the language of vision and velocity.
MVP Strategy & Product Ideation
Not sure where to start? We’ll help you validate your app idea before a single line of code is written. Through lean discovery, tech feasibility, and user-first thinking, we help you avoid building the wrong thing.
