A UK-Based AI Development Team for US Startups
We're a UK-based AI development team for US startups — giving growing US companies access to senior AI engineering at GBP day-rates, without compromising on quality or timezone overlap.
UK Engineering Standards, US-Friendly Delivery
We're a UK-based AI development team working with US startups — London-grade engineering standards, without the language gap or timezone overlap issues a fully offshore team often implies.
You get the same senior engineers scoping and building your project throughout, communicating in real time during the overlap window and in writing the rest of the day — not a rotating cast handed off between account managers.
GBP Day-Rates, Quoted in USD on Request
We price in GBP and quote in USD on request — fixed-price or time-and-materials, with a transparent proposal and no hidden costs. As a point of reference, our senior AI & tech advisory work runs £1,500–£3,000/day, generally well under equivalent Bay Area agency rates for the same seniority.
There's no US-office overhead built into that rate — you're paying for engineering time, not Silicon Valley real estate.
Built for Async, US-Friendly Collaboration
Our team overlaps with US East Coast mornings and works async-first the rest of the day — daily written updates, recorded demos, and a Slack channel your team can drop into whenever it suits them.
Nothing waits on a live meeting to move forward: decisions and blockers get written down, so a founder in San Francisco or New York can catch up in five minutes at the start of their day rather than waiting for a call slot.
Pricing & Delivery FAQs
Transparent expectations on investment, timelines, and technical ownership before starting.
help_outlineHow much cheaper is a UK-based team than a Bay Area agency?
We quote day-rates in GBP — our senior AI & tech advisory work, for reference, runs £1,500–£3,000/day. That's generally well under what equivalent Bay Area agency seniority costs, since there's no US-office overhead built into the rate. We'll quote your specific project in USD on request.
help_outlineHow do we actually work together across the time difference?
We overlap with US East Coast mornings for live calls and pairing, then work async the rest of the day — written updates, recorded demos, and a shared Slack channel. Most US clients find they get faster written answers than they would from a same-timezone team that only communicates in meetings.
help_outlineDo you sign US-style contracts and NDAs?
Yes — we sign your NDA and contract templates where possible, or work from our standard UK-law service agreement, which covers IP assignment and confidentiality to the same standard. Legal and payment terms are agreed before any work starts.
help_outlineWho owns the code and IP if we're a US company working with a UK team?
100% of the custom code, architecture, and intellectual property is assigned to your company on delivery, regardless of which country either party is based in — this is written into the contract before the project starts.
