Beyond the Wall

THE NOW MOMENT

AI tools let founders build faster than ever. But every founder hits the same point — the prototype works until it doesn't. Performance, security, architecture, investor expectations. We call it the App Builder Wall. And the wall is only half the problem. When you can build anything, knowing what's worth building is the real challenge.

The way through

We're not competing with AI builders — we're the step that comes after. They create speed; we turn speed into substance. We help founders make the hard calls: what to build, what to cut, and when to ship. You own the code and you can scale without fear.
