As a dedicated custom software development agency, we deliver a complete range of software development solutions that support new ventures through every stage of the product lifecycle:
Custom Software Development Services
We specialize in building complex software solutions for startups across industries such as fintech, payment processing systems, e-commerce marketplaces handling over 10,000 SKUs, and healthcare platforms with HIPAA compliance. We have successfully delivered custom solutions for fintech, healthtech, e-commerce, and SaaS startups, spanning from pre-seed MVPs to Series B scaling projects.
Minimum Viable Product (MVP) Development Services
Our MVP development process delivers market-ready products in 8-16 weeks, utilizing proven technology stacks including React, Node.js, and PostgreSQL. We focus on implementing core user workflows, such as payment processing and user registration, while avoiding advanced features that can delay market entry. This approach helps startups validate product-market fit before Series A fundraising.
Startup Software Development
We build scalable backend systems designed to handle rapid user growth, ranging from 1,000 to 100,000 users, utilizing a microservices architecture, AWS auto-scaling infrastructure, and Redis caching solutions. Our development approach includes database optimization for expanding user bases and CI/CD pipelines for faster feature deployment, specifically designed for startups transitioning from MVP validation to the rapid growth phase.
Software Development Consulting Services
Our software development consulting services provide comprehensive support for startups, including investor due diligence preparation, CTO hiring for Series A rounds, and technology roadmap planning. We conduct technical architecture reviews, develop team scaling strategies, and prepare technical documentation for investor presentations to help non-technical founders make informed technology decisions.
SaaS Development Services
We develop sophisticated, multi-tenant SaaS platforms that feature advanced user management with role-based permissions and seamless integration with subscription billing and payment processors, such as Stripe. Our SaaS development implements tenant isolation, API rate limiting, usage analytics, audit logging, feature flagging, custom reporting, and churn reduction features designed explicitly for startups targeting enterprise customers or high-volume B2B markets.
AI Development Services
We integrate advanced artificial intelligence capabilities into startup software platforms, including ChatGPT API implementations for automated customer support, machine learning recommendation engines, and natural language processing for document analysis. We utilize OpenAI APIs, TensorFlow frameworks, and Python-based machine learning libraries to create custom AI solutions that integrate with existing software stacks and enhance user experiences.

“I was mostly happy with the high level of experience and professionalism of the various teams that worked on my project. Not only they clearly understood my exact technical requirements but even suggested better ways in doing them. The Communication tools that were used were excellent and easy. And finally and most importantly, the interaction, follow up and support from the top management was great. Space-O not delivered a high quality product but exceeded my expectations! I would definitely hire them again for future jobs!”
