Why startups choose IRPR for affordable development
We ship faster and cost less because we only hire senior engineers and use a fixed-price model.
Our process eliminates the waste of junior teams and hourly billing. Every project gets a dedicated team of 2-4 senior engineers who have built 200+ products across 50+ countries. We write clean code, document everything, and hand over full ownership.
With a 12-week average delivery time and $80K minimum price, we are the most cost-effective option for serious startups. No markups, no agency overhead. You pay for the work, not the sales team.
The IRPR difference vs. generic development shops
Most startups waste money on agencies that bill hourly and deliver late. We do the opposite.
Generic shops often staff junior developers, charge for every meeting, and let scope creep inflate budgets. IRPR gives you a fixed price, senior-only engineers, and a clear roadmap. No surprises.
Our team has built for fintech, healthtech, and SaaS companies that needed compliance out of the gate. We handle HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 from day one. That means no expensive rework later.
- Hourly billing with no cap
- Junior-heavy teams learning on your dime
- Scope creep that doubles the bill
- No compliance experience
- Handoff without documentation
- Slow response times across timezones
- Fixed price from Roadmap phase
- Senior engineers with 10+ years experience
- Scope locked in writing after week 2
- HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2 built in
- Full documentation and source code ownership
- Async-first with daily overlap for US hours
Our 4-phase build process for startup software teams
From idea to live product in 12 weeks. Every phase has a clear deliverable and fixed cost.
Phase 1 (Weeks 1-2): Discovery and Roadmap. We interview stakeholders, map user flows, and produce a technical spec with wireframes. Cost: $15K flat. You get a full project plan, not a vague proposal.
Phase 2 (Weeks 3-10): Core build. Senior engineers code the MVP in 2-week sprints. You see progress on a staging environment every sprint. We use React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and deploy on AWS. No hidden work.
What ships with your affordable startup software development team
Every project includes the essential production infrastructure. No add-ons, no upsells.
We know startups need more than just code. You get a fully configured cloud environment, error tracking, and a handoff that your internal team can maintain. All source code is transferred to your GitHub account on day one.
Our standard delivery includes automated tests, deployment pipelines, and a Postman collection for your API. That means you can continue development with any team after launch. No lock-in.
- Source code in your private GitHub repo
- CI/CD pipeline on GitHub Actions
- Staging environment on AWS or Vercel
- Production deployment with auto-scaling
- Sentry error tracking with alerts
- Admin panel for content and user management
- API documentation (Swagger/OpenAPI)
- Unit and integration tests (80%+ coverage)
- Payment integration (Stripe or Braintree)
- 30-day post-launch support and bug fixes

Why teams hire us.
Fixed price, not hourly
Every project gets a fixed quote in the Roadmap phase (week 2). No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, no scope creep charges. You know the total cost before we write a line of code.
Senior engineers only
We hire from the top 2% of applicants. Average experience is 10+ years. No junior developers learning on your product. You get people who have shipped 200+ products.
Async-first with US overlap
Our team works across 50+ countries but overlaps 4 hours with US time zones. You get daily updates, Slack responses within 2 hours, and no meetings for status. We report progress.
Compliance built in
We ship HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 ready systems. Our engineers understand audits and security requirements. No need to rebuild for compliance later.
Full ownership upfront
From day one, all code is in your GitHub repo. Source code, design files, documentation — you own everything. No locked-in contracts, no proprietary frameworks.
