About Brimode
A Dev Sprint Team
Built for Founders Who Ship
Senior engineers in 2–4 day sprints — web, mobile, AI, and automation — without the overhead of a traditional agency or a premature full-time hire.

Our Mission
Help startups move from idea to production without burning calendar time or budget. Brimode pairs you with senior builders who treat your codebase, customers, and constraints as seriously as you do — whether that is a Next.js app, a Shopify storefront, an internal tool, or an AI feature that needs guardrails, evals, and real latency targets. We are headquartered in London, UK, with an office in Johannesburg that works hand in hand with our UK team for founders across South Africa, the US, the UK, the EU, the UAE, Australia, and beyond.
Our Vision
A world where every serious startup can ship production-grade software at startup speed — with senior talent on tap, honest scopes, and delivery habits that compound instead of decay. We want founders everywhere to validate ideas with real users and real systems, not slide decks and six-month roadmaps.

Ship in small slices
We work in short, reviewable increments so you always know what is shipping and why. That cadence keeps risk low, feedback fast, and roadmaps honest — whether we are refactoring auth, launching a landing page, or adding an LLM-backed workflow.
Clarity over noise
You get plain-language scope, trade-offs, and estimates — not a black box. We document decisions, surface risks early, and align on success metrics before we burn budget. That goes double for AI work, where retrieval, evals, and guardrails matter as much as the model name.
Your stack, your pace
We plug into how you already work — GitHub, Slack, Notion, Jira, or a simple shared doc. Async updates by default, synced calls when decisions need a room. You stay in control of the roadmap; we bring execution capacity without adding management theatre.
Production-grade habits
We care about performance, security basics, monitoring, and handover. The goal is code and systems your next engineer will not dread inheriting — whether that is a Next.js app, a Shopify build, an API, or an automation with real failure modes.

pragmatic AI
We ship with stacks founders actually run in production — React, Next.js, React Native, WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, Node, and sensible cloud defaults. For AI features we bring LLMs, retrieval, orchestration, and observability so launches stay fast, measurable, and maintainable.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers for founders comparing a dev subscription, agency, or first engineering hire — web, mobile, AI, and Shopify.
A dev subscription gives you senior product engineers on a flat monthly plan instead of recruiting, benefits, and bench time. You submit requests to a shared queue, we ship in focused sprints, and you can pause when fundraising or between releases. Founders use Brimode when they need startup-grade velocity without committing to a six-figure hire before product-market fit — similar flexibility to a fractional CTO plus hands-on build capacity.
Most MVPs reach a credible v1 in six to ten weeks, depending on auth, payments, and third-party integrations. We start with a short discovery workshop, lock a thin scope for the first sprint, then deliver weekly staging builds you can share with investors or early users. Marketing sites and Webflow or WordPress launches often ship faster; complex SaaS with Stripe, analytics, and admin tooling sits at the longer end of that range.
We ship daily in React, Next.js, Node.js, Python, Shopify, Webflow, WordPress, Supabase, and Postgres, with Stripe, HubSpot, and major LLM providers wired in when you need them. Choose the stack that matches your team and runway — we will not force a rewrite unless there is a clear reliability or speed win. If you already have a repo, we work inside it, follow your conventions, and document decisions in Notion so your next hire can onboard smoothly.
Plans are flat monthly tiers with transparent per-seat pricing when you add developers, plus optional annual billing bundled into fewer invoices. Engineering time, async updates, and standard deploys are included; third-party hosting, LLM usage, and licensed tools stay on your accounts so costs stay visible. You can pause or cancel when priorities shift — many seed-stage teams run three to six months of build, pause during a raise, then resume for the next launch cycle.
Yes. We scope AI as product features, not science projects: retrieval-augmented search, workflow automations, copilots inside your app, and guarded API routes with evals before production. We integrate OpenAI, Anthropic, or the provider you prefer, log prompts and failures, and ship behind feature flags so you can roll back quickly. Existing users keep the same core flows; AI layers sit beside your current Next.js or API stack rather than replacing it overnight.
Brimode is headquartered in London, UK, with a Johannesburg office that works hand in hand with our UK team. You get UK and European timezone overlap from London, deep build capacity from Johannesburg, and async-first delivery for US, UAE, and global founders. Loom walkthroughs, written sprint recaps, and a shared Notion board keep decisions moving without midnight meetings. We target same-business-day responses on active subscriptions so you are never blocked waiting on an agency in another hemisphere.
You do. Repositories, Figma files, and deployed assets remain in your accounts — GitHub, Vercel, Webflow, Shopify, or your cloud provider. We work as an extension of your team under your brand, and deliverables are yours to operate, sell, or hand to an in-house team later. We can sign standard mutual NDAs and align with investor diligence on IP assignment before the first sprint starts.
Every engagement gets staging environments, pull-request review, and a lightweight QA pass before production merges. We follow least-privilege access, environment variables for secrets, and sensible defaults for auth, rate limits, and error monitoring on Next.js and API routes. For Scale-tier clients we add architecture and security check-ins; for all tiers we document runbooks so your team knows how to roll back and rotate keys after launch.
Bring a clear problem statement, success metrics, one decision-maker, and access to any existing repo, designs, or analytics. We run a structured kickoff workshop to prioritize the first two weeks, agree on definition of done, and set up Slack plus Notion. You do not need a full PRD — we help you shape scope — but the more context on users and constraints, the faster we ship something you can put in front of customers.
Engineering and delivery are included; usage-based bills stay on your cards for transparency. That covers Vercel or AWS hosting, Webflow or Shopify plans, LLM tokens, email tools, and analytics — we forecast rough monthly spend before enabling production AI or high-traffic launches. You keep full control of vendors and can scale infrastructure up or down without renegotiating our subscription.
