You own the code

Hire the studio.
Own what we build.

Flagship is how you replace a $250k/yr product team with a fractional one that ships weekly — and keep every line of code when you're done.

Monthly

$7,499/mo

6-month minimum · 30-day notice after · no setup fee

Workload

80hrs/mo

Across 5 senior roles · weekly build review · open scope

vs Hiring

~$160k/yr saved

vs a $250k/yr in-house team · plus $2–5k/mo SaaS you won't need

// THE CAPABILITIES

What the 80 hours cover.

Five senior capability areas, one engagement. The builder runs every account; specialists from a trusted Charlotte bench come in for the work that needs their specific craft. You get product-team output without the overhead of hiring one.

Senior Full-Stack Developer

Architecture, backend, frontend, APIs, custom builds. Next.js, Supabase, Stripe, Claude — whatever your stack needs.

AI Engineer

Custom models, agents, automations, intelligent workflows. Trained on your data, running where you need them.

Product Researcher / Analyst

User discovery, data analysis, product metrics. The numbers that show what's working and what to kill.

Graphic / Product Designer

UX, brand system, product UI, marketing assets. Every pixel matches the standard you want to hold.

Marketing / Revenue Ops

Go-to-market, campaigns, performance analysis. Making sure everything we build actually gets used.

// BUILD SCOPE

Open scope. Build anything.

Most retainers define what you can ask for. Flagship doesn't. Click a category to see what that looks like — or bring us something we haven't listed.

// OWNERSHIP

You own it all.

Most agency contracts license work to you for the duration of the relationship. Flagship is different. Every build cycle ends with a git transfer — the repo is yours, forever.

  • Every line of code, transferred to your GitHub at end of every build cycle
  • Your data, your infrastructure, your brand
  • The tools we build — no SaaS subscriptions you can't cancel
  • The IP, the models, the automations — yours

// If you walked away after month 6, you keep everything. No licensing strings.

Flagship is a scoping conversation first — we don't sell packaged plans at this tier. Book 30 minutes, walk through your roadmap, get an honest read on whether it's the right move.
