Why New York

Why New York Founders Choose Codebudz

Senior engineering at offshore prices — with EST coverage, US-compatible contracts, and a track record of shipping VC-ready products.

US-Compatible Contracts & IP Assignment
Work-for-hire agreements with full IP assignment on final payment. NDA templates in plain English, familiar to US lawyers. No unusual offshore clauses.
VC Pitch-Ready MVP Delivery
We know what US investors expect in a product demo. Pixel-perfect UI, zero-crash performance, and a product story that lands in 3 minutes — every time.
EST Timezone Coverage
9am–1pm EST daily overlap for stand-ups, decisions, and urgent reviews. Outside that window, all updates are logged so nothing waits more than one business day.
60–80% Cost Advantage Over NYC Agencies
NYC agencies bill $200–$350/hr. Our senior engineers deliver the same outcome at $40–65/hr. On a 6-week MVP, that is $50,000–$100,000 back in your budget.
US App Market Experience
Apps designed to Apple HIG and Google Material 3 standards, with US user expectations built in — from onboarding flow length to notification opt-in timing.
Startup Sprint Mentality
Our founders came from startup backgrounds. We move at founder pace — lean scope, fast decisions, and real shipped product in 6 weeks, not 6 months.
