Our approach

We mitigate four product risks before we build.

We apply Marty Cagan's four product risks from INSPIRED to every engagement. Each risk gets its own test — before we ship production code.

01

Value risk

"Will customers actually buy it?"

Concierge tests with 5–10 target users before we write production code.

02

Usability risk

"Can users figure out how to use it?"

End-to-end click-through prototypes tested with real users — iterated before build.

03

Feasibility risk

"Can we build it in the time we have?"

A two-day technical spike on the highest-risk slice of scope before we commit a timeline.

04

Business viability risk

"Does it work for the business?"

Unit-economics modeling and go-to-market check with the founder in week one.

Founders on working with us

Hear it from the people we've shipped with.

"Six months after launch, our online sales have increased by 40%."

Makara Tech transformed our e-commerce vision into reality with their Shopify expertise. The onboarding support was comprehensive, and their response time is remarkable — whenever we needed assistance, they were there within hours.

Tissa Thomas

Founder, The Home Definer

"Their attention to detail in implementing our design requirements was exceptional."

Every element of our responsive website matches our original vision perfectly. The team demonstrated a deep understanding of both design principles and technical implementation, making the entire process smooth and efficient.

Suraj Sanjeev

CEO, Panlys

"They didn't just deliver a responsive website — they created an innovative digital experience."

The engineering excellence of Makara Tech is remarkable. Their interpretation of our design brief was spot-on, and the custom form management system they developed streamlined our client interaction process significantly.

Communications Manager, Ishk Global

Engagements

Two ways to work with us.

Every engagement starts with a scoping call. Pricing varies with scope and stage — ask us for a range.

Build-for-hire

We ship your product. You keep your equity, pay in cash.

  • Fixed-scope engagements, 25% on signing
  • Maintainable stack with real documentation
  • CI/CD and deployment configured to your infra
  • No annual maintenance lock-in

Build-with-you

We take equity and commit to the pre-seed journey with you.

  • Paid in equity for a multi-month engagement
  • Team-building and hand-over planned from week one
  • Aligned on a seed-ready product at exit
  • Selective: pre-PMF only, strong founder fit required
