How long does it take to go from idea to launch?
For an MVP, expect 8–16 weeks depending on scope and complexity. A full product typically takes 4–9 months. We scope every project in a discovery phase so you get a realistic timeline upfront — not a number we revise later.
What does a typical team look like?
A standard engagement includes a PM, 1–2 senior developers, a designer, QA, and DevOps as needed. Team size scales with your scope and budget — we can start lean with a seed-stage startup and ramp up as you grow.
Do you work with early-stage startups or only established companies?
Our sweet spot is Seed through Series B. We know how to build fast and lean when capital is tight, and how to scale the team and architecture as funding grows. We have worked with both pre-launch startups and enterprise teams.
Can you take over an existing codebase?
Yes. We start with a discovery and audit phase to understand the current architecture, tech debt, and risks. From there we build a plan — whether that is a targeted refactor, a phased rewrite, or simply extending what is already there.
Do you work on a fixed price or time & materials basis?
Both. Fixed price works well for clearly scoped projects; time & materials fits ongoing development or projects where scope evolves. We will recommend the model that makes the most sense for your situation and be transparent about trade-offs.
What AWS services do you specialize in?
Our core AWS stack includes ECS Fargate, Lambda, RDS, ElastiCache, S3, CloudFront, Amplify, WAF, ALB, and Amazon Bedrock for GenAI. We design for security and scalability from day one, with infrastructure-as-code and full CI/CD.
Do you build mobile apps?
Yes — we build cross-platform mobile apps with React Native, giving you iOS and Android from a single codebase. This keeps costs down without sacrificing native performance or user experience.
How do you handle compliance-sensitive industries?
We have experience building for HIPAA-regulated HealthTech and FedRAMP-adjacent GovTech environments. Our approach includes security-first architecture, IAM least-privilege policies, VPC isolation, encryption at rest and in transit, and audit logging.
Do you use AI and GenAI in your builds?
Yes, on both fronts. Internally, GenAI accelerates our delivery — faster prototyping, code generation, and QA. For clients, we build AI-native features including LLM integrations, RAG pipelines, and Amazon Bedrock-powered workflows.
What makes Akadenia different from other dev agencies?
We are a long-term technology partner, not a body shop. We take full ownership from design through launch and ongoing maintenance, with deep expertise in HealthTech, FinTech, GovTech, and AI. After 8+ years, most of our business comes from referrals and repeat clients.
Do you offer post-launch support and maintenance?
Yes. We offer ongoing managed services including monitoring, incident response, feature development, and cloud infrastructure management on AWS and Azure. Many clients keep us on retainer well after launch.
Who owns the IP?
IP ownership is defined in the contract. In our standard engagements, clients own the delivered work product once the agreed transfer terms are met. We are upfront about those terms — including any carve-outs for third-party dependencies or pre-existing assets — so there are no surprises at the end.
Do you work with government or public sector clients?
Yes. One of our flagship products is Perimeter, a public safety platform used by 280+ law enforcement and emergency management agencies protecting 4.5M+ lives. We understand the compliance, reliability, and security demands of government work.
Can you build on both AWS and Azure?
Yes. AWS is our primary cloud, but we have production experience on Azure as well — particularly for clients with existing Microsoft relationships or enterprise agreements. We will work within your cloud strategy, not against it.
