About Pilotship
We're a technical studio that helps ambitious founders build their first working product. No fluff, no endless iterations—just real software that works.
Why We Exist
Most founders don't need another deck of mockups or a six-month roadmap. They need a working prototype they can show to customers, investors, or partners. Something real. Something that proves the concept works.
That's where we come in. We're technical builders who specialize in rapid development—taking ideas from concept to functional pilot in weeks. We're not trying to build the final product. We're building version 1.0: the thing that lets you validate your idea, gather feedback, and move forward with confidence.
Our Values
Agency
Self-directed projects with clear decision-making
Authenticity
Real working demos, not mockups
Difficulty
We tackle the hard problems others avoid
Who We Work With
Early-Stage Founders
You have a vision for a product and need a technical partner to build your first working prototype. You want to test the concept with real users, gather feedback, and prove the idea works—all before committing to a full-scale development effort.
We help you go from idea to functional pilot in weeks, giving you something real to show investors, customers, or partners.
Established Organizations
Your team sees opportunities to leverage technology to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and improve margins—but you're not fundamentally technical and don't know where to start.
We translate your operational challenges into working software solutions, delivering practical tools that solve real problems without the complexity of traditional enterprise software projects.
What Makes Us Different
We Build Real Working Software
Not wireframes. Not mockups. Not another deck of slides. We ship actual, functional code that you can demo, deploy, and iterate on.
We Move Fast
Our sweet spot is 4-6 week pilot projects. We're optimized for speed without sacrificing quality. You'll see progress every day, not every quarter.
You Own Everything
At the end of every project, you get the complete source code, deployment infrastructure, and documentation. No vendor lock-in. No ongoing fees. It's yours.
We Love Hard Problems
Hardware integration? Computer vision? Real-time systems? Payment processing? If it's technically challenging, we're interested. We thrive on projects that push boundaries.
