About Hayaiti
We ship custom software in weeks, not months. Pricing upfront. Code in your repo.
Hayaiti is a productized engineering studio. Web apps, custom software, iOS apps, and security hardening — one roof, one team. No discovery calls. Pricing, scope, and timelines on the page.
Mission
Why we exist: transparency in software pricing and delivery.
Most studios hide their prices, sit on discovery calls, and hand over decks instead of working code. We made a different bet: list every price, list every timeline, and push every line of code we ship into your repo on day one.
We’re a small team. We’re honest about being new. We earn proof one project at a time — not with stock photos and fabricated case studies. The pricing on the page is the first promise we keep. Everything else is downstream of that.

Principles
The rules we won’t break for a check
The rules we work by. We’ll tell you when we break one, and we’ll tell you why.
Pricing on the page
If you can't see the price, the price is probably negotiable. We list every SKU, every scope, every timeline.
Source code is yours
From day one. We push to your repo. We hand off keys, secrets, and infra credentials when we're done.
Pay when you're happy
50% upfront, 50% on delivery. Hold the second half until you've reviewed the work and you're happy with it.
Calendar days, not business days
The whole team flexes onto a project rather than miss a date — we'd rather pile in than slip. Weekends count toward the clock.
Refund on slip
If we miss the deadline, we refund 25% of the SKU. Your time matters more than ours. The clock is on us.
Honest about being new
We're a brand-new agency. We say so plainly. Proof is earned one project at a time, not faked with stock photos.
Plain English, always
No jargon. No discovery-call mystique. We tell you what we'll build, in days, in words a non-engineer can read.
Privacy-first analytics
Consent-gated tracking. Reject all = nothing fires. We measure shipping, not your visitors' personal data.
One team, no handoffs
The engineers who build it also harden it. The same people through the whole engagement. No account managers in between.
Fixed price, fixed scope
If the scope changes, we write it down — what changed, why, and the new number. No surprise invoices, ever.
People
Built by engineers who understand your pain
A small team of Ex-FAANG engineers and designers. Real bios land as members opt in to public profiles.
A small senior team. We’d rather show shipped work than stock-photo flair.
Each project is run by one engineer + one reviewer. Photos and named bios appear here as members opt in to a public profile — we’ll never invent credentials or borrow other people’s headshots to look bigger than we are.

Funnel widths are proportional to step values
Directional ratios — Q1 2026 estimate, not yet measured to the point. Refreshed each quarter from /admin/leads and /admin/inquiries once we cross 50+ inbound items.
Process
SKU to source-code handoff, 6 steps
6 steps from SKU to source-code handoff. Same shape every time.
You pick a SKU
Browse pricing, pick a service line, fill out a one-paragraph brief. We send a fixed-price spec back inside 24 hours.
Kickoff Loom + Sync
Once you sign, we send a 5-minute Loom that walks you through the spec. We integrate directly into your existing Slack and Linear/Trello workspace.
Follow-the-Sun Delivery
Our distributed senior team ships code while you sleep. Every morning you wake up to a Loom showing exactly what we shipped.
Final review + revisions
We hand you the work for review. You list anything that needs to change. We revise — included in the SKU price.
Source code handoff
Code's been in your repo since day one. We run an In-House Handoff Protocol: we'll actively train your eventual full-time hire and hand off keys, secrets, infra creds, and a README.
30 days of support
Bug fixes for free. Anything new is a new SKU. We don't disappear after delivery — we just don't pretend to be your dev team.
Timeline
Where we are, honestly
We’re a few months old. We don’t pretend otherwise. Here’s the real cadence.
- 2026 Q1Shipped
Hayaiti opened for business
Brand, site, SKUs, and the founders' deal — all live. First inbound briefs answered the same week.
- 2026 Q2In progress
Founders' deal launched (5 slots)
Five spots at founder pricing, in exchange for honest case studies and a logo on the site.
- UpcomingUpcoming
First 5 case studies published
We publish a case study only after the client signs off. We won't fabricate results to fill a portfolio.
- UpcomingUpcoming
Open-source project #1 released
We use a lot of open source. We'll start contributing back as soon as the cadence allows. No vapor-OSS.
- UpcomingUpcoming
First annual transparency report
Revenue, headcount, projects shipped, projects refunded, what we got wrong. All of it.
Hiring (kind of)
We’re hiring engineers and designers — eventually.
We’re a team of four. We don’t have open roles yet. We’re honest about that. But we’re going to grow as our delivery cadence does, and we’d rather hire from a warm pool than a cold job board.
If you’re an engineer (web, software, iOS) or a designer who likes shipping — and you like the way we work — email us and we’ll keep you in the loop as roles open.
What we look for
- Shipped work you can show, in any stack
- Comfort with async-by-default communication
- Plain-English writing for client updates
- A hatred of unnecessary meetings
