Who we help in the US market

iCodeLTD is a founder-led software agency founded in 2019. We work best with founders and teams that want clear scope before development starts, realistic planning ranges, and a build process focused on the first version that needs to launch.

Why founder-led remote delivery

Remote delivery works when the scope is clear, communication is structured, and the team understands what needs to launch first.

Scope before build

Discovery and scope work happen before development so you know what belongs in the first release — and what can wait.

Founder-led communication

Product direction stays with founder-led leadership from scoping through launch planning.

Clear delivery updates

Structured check-ins, written priorities, and honest progress reporting — without unnecessary overhead.

Built for launch and iteration

Engineering aimed at a first version you can ship and improve — not a throwaway prototype.

Planning ranges for US founders

Use these ranges to sanity-check budget before a strategy call. They are not fixed quotes, but they help you understand what a focused first version can require.

Custom software projects usually start from $5,000. A lean SaaS MVP may fall between $5,000 and $15,000 depending on scope. Hourly work typically falls in the $25–$49/hour range when that model fits the engagement.

Typical planning timelines: a small MVP often lands around 4–6 weeks, a standard MVP around 8–10 weeks, and a complex platform around 3–6 months — always depending on scope, platforms, and integrations.

These are planning ranges, not fixed quotes. Final cost depends on product scope, user roles, integrations, design complexity, AI features, admin requirements, and launch requirements.

How we deliver for US startups

We start by reducing uncertainty: what needs to be built, what can wait, and what the first release should prove.

Step 1

Discovery

Understand your product goals, users, constraints, and what success looks like for the first release.

Step 2

Scope

Define features, platforms, integrations, and priorities so planning ranges reflect the real build effort.

Step 3

UX/UI planning

Shape user flows, screens, and product structure before development begins in earnest.

Step 4

Development

Build the agreed scope with practical delivery updates, code review, and engineering focused on what needs to launch.

Step 5

Launch and iteration

Support launch readiness, early feedback, and the next iteration cycle after the first version ships.
