You have the idea.
You just can't build it yet.

DayFive is the technical team for founders who don't code. We turn your idea into working software at a fixed price, in your own GitHub, with zero equity taken. You see it live by day five.

Fixed price · your code · no equity · live by day five

Why this is hard

Every non-technical founder hits the same three walls.

The cofounder hunt

You spend months courting engineers over coffee. The good ones already have jobs, and the ones who say yes want half the company before writing a line.

The agency quote

Forty thousand dollars and twelve weeks. The senior engineer who sold you the dream hands your project to a junior you will never meet.

The prototype cliff

You built it yourself in Lovable or Bolt. It demos beautifully. Then come real logins, real payments, and a database anyone on the internet can read.

We built DayFive to be the fourth option: a senior technical team that works like a cofounder and charges like a project.

How it works

You always know what day it is.

Every build runs on the same calendar. No status meetings needed, the dates do the reporting.

Day 0

One scope call

We write the scope down together, you approve it, and the price is fixed. If plans change later, you approve a written change order first. There is no meter running.

Day 1

The repo is created in your GitHub

Every commit lands in your account from the very first one. There is no handover at the end, because it was never ours to hand over.

Day 5

You get a link

Your product, working, at a real URL. Send it to your first users. Put it in your investor update. This is the moment we named the company after.

Day 14 to 21

Production launch

Sign-ins, payments, an admin panel, monitoring. Launched properly, with thirty days of fixes included.

After launch

We stay

Every build includes a month of the Founder Office, our month-to-month technical partnership. Most agencies disappear after launch. Staying is our whole business model.

Already built something?

Your Lovable prototype deserves better than a quiet death.

Send us the link. Within 48 hours you get a plain-English report on what is solid, what leaks, and exactly what it would cost to make it production ready. It is free, and you never have to get on a call.

We take on five audits a week, reviewed in the order they arrive. A working prototype link is required, that is the whole ticket.

Our promises

Five things we put in writing, every time.

The price is the price

Written scope, fixed quote, change orders you approve. No hourly meters.

Your code from the first commit

The repo lives in your GitHub organization from day one. Nothing to hand over, ever.

Staging by day five

A working link on day five of every build. If we can't promise that, we haven't finished scoping.

The person you meet is the person who builds

No bait and switch. Your scope call and your code come from the same hands.

No post-launch cliff

Every build includes a month of the Founder Office. We do not ship and vanish.

Required for the free audit. For everything else, share it if you have one.

We reply to every serious message. We skip the ones with no product, no link, and no specifics, which is also your answer to "how do you filter."

Bring us the idea you keep talking about.

The one from the shower. The one your friends are tired of hearing at dinner. Five days from now, you could be sending them a link instead.
