I've had multiple founders tell me the same thing recently.
"We got burned. They were great on the sales call. Disappeared after. We just need someone who actually shows up." It's always the same story. Agency pitches hard, promises fast delivery, responsive during the proposal stage. Then the project starts, and suddenly nobody's available on weekends. Responses take days. You're talking to a sales rep who knows nothing about your actual build. The founders who've been through this stop looking for the cheapest option or the flashiest portfolio. They start looking for one thing. Someone who actually delivers what they said they would. We don't take every project. We take projects where we can be a real build partner, not just a vendor. That means being available when it matters, responding fast to the people actually building the thing, and being honest when something will take longer than expected. We're currently working with partners in the US and Canada on AI voice and custom builds. Not because we pitched the hardest. Because we showed up when others didn't. If you've been burned before and you're tired of agencies that sell better than they build. I'm genuinely open to a conversation.
