Do you work with startups, or only larger, established companies?

Both, and the two engagements look fairly different. Startups usually come to us pre-product or pre-seed and need something built fast and lean enough to test with real users. If an idea doesn’t actually need a custom build yet — a well-configured no-code stack would get the same validation for less money — we’ll say so rather than sell a bigger project than the stage calls for.

Larger, established companies usually arrive with more constraints: existing systems to integrate with, a security review to pass, several stakeholders who need sign-off, and less appetite for figuring things out as we go. Those projects get more upfront documentation and a slower, more formal process, because that’s what actually serves them.

What doesn’t change between the two is who writes the code. Senior engineers either way, not a training ground for junior developers on your budget.
