Tel Aviv
MVP development for founders
Tel Aviv founders
Tel Aviv had a +34% YoY funding jump in Q1 2026, with AI and cyber pulling 70% of the capital. Hiring senior engineers in this market means competing with Wiz, Mobileye, and a dozen well-funded cyber startups paying near-FAANG comp. We are a one-engineer shop that ships in one-week sprints, flat-priced.

How this works

The output of a team.
Senior engineers who deploy AI agents as force multipliers, shipping what traditional teams of 3 to 4 used to, at half the cost. Built specifically for pre-seed to Series A founders in Tel Aviv.
The local read
Why this works for Tel Aviv
Tel Aviv tech is back in growth mode in 2026 — $3B+ raised in Q1, with AI infra and cybersecurity accounting for most of it. The senior engineering pool is deep, but it is also expensive and concentrated in unicorns and well-funded scale-ups. Founders past the cyber/AI obvious niches have a harder time hiring than the headline numbers suggest.
We work async with Tel Aviv founders. Seven hours of overlap with US East working hours is enough for daily standups and product decisions. Flat-price MVPs billed in USD. One senior engineer ships your build in a week.
