Build Together Program

Don't outsource.
Build together.

Build Together is Escape79's program for companies that want a real technical partner — not a software factory. We assemble a senior team that works alongside you, from discovery to launch, with skin in the game.

Journey

How a product is born in Build Together.

From first discovery to production delivery — with senior engineers and AI agents working together.

01
Client + Escape79

Discovery

We understand the problem, the business, and the users. We map constraints, opportunities, and success metrics through immersion workshops.

PO Understanding

The PO translates discovery into prioritized user stories. Defines the backlog, acceptance criteria, and product vision for the squad.

Technical Design

Senior engineers design the architecture, data model, stack, and deploy plan. Technical decisions reviewed with the client.

Joint Development

Senior engineers and AI agents work together: seniors define, review, and decide; agents accelerate code, tests, and documentation.

Manifesto

Why we created this program.

We got tired of watching companies burn money on outsourced squads that don't understand the business, don't take ownership, and deliver code nobody wants to maintain.

Build Together exists to be the opposite: a senior team that digs into the problem with you, shares technical decisions, takes on risk, and only considers the job done when the outcome shows up.

If you want a vendor that executes tickets, we're not for you. If you want a partner that thinks alongside you and delivers results — welcome.

Pillars

The four pillars of the program.

Everything we do in Build Together revolves around these principles.

01

Radical transparency

Shared repository, open metrics, documented decisions. You see everything that happens, all the time.

02

Shared ownership

We're not a vendor, we're co-responsible. If something goes wrong, it's on us too — and we fix it.

03

Speed with standards

Code in production from week 1. Speed is not an excuse to ship poorly.

04

Real engineering

Tests, code review, CI/CD, observability. We don't ship prototypes dressed as products.

How it works

From handshake to launch.

A lean process that works because it's built by people who've shipped dozens of projects to production.

  1. 01

    Kickoff and immersion

    We understand the business, users, and technical constraints. We define scope, success metrics, and squad composition. Within a week, we have an environment, repo, and first tasks running.

  2. 02

    Delivery sprints

    Weekly cycles with code in production, demos, and retrospectives. Technical decisions are made together. Nothing hides in eternal staging branches.

  3. 03

    Review and course correction

    Every 4 weeks, we review business metrics, code quality, and satisfaction. If we need to change course, we do — no drama, no renegotiation.

  4. 04

    Launch and transition

    The product goes live with observability, docs, and tests. If it makes sense, we do a gradual handover to the internal team. If not, we keep operating.

Who it's for

Who is this program for?

It's not for everyone — and that's intentional.

Funded startups

Need to launch fast with quality but don't have a senior tech team. We build the product together and hand over when your team grows.

Companies with real pain

Have an operational problem that software solves, but the internal team can't handle it. We step in as a senior extension and deliver outcomes.

Product teams

Already have a product but need senior reinforcement in AI, backend, or architecture for the next phase. We work within your flow.

Technical founders

Know what to build but need good people alongside. We provide a senior squad that thinks with you and executes in production.

What you get

Program deliverables.

Everything that's included when you join Build Together.

4

Code in production with automated tests, observability, and rollback plan.

5

Monthly results review with business metrics and technical recommendations.

6

Documented transition and handover plan when the program ends.
