The Gnar Company Launches Free AI Series for B2B Operators, Starting June 30
Engineering Insights
Build the software your business runs on, with a guaranteed price and a 12-month warranty.
Custom Software Development
Most development shops leave you guessing on the final bill and the launch date. We do not. Senior US-based engineers ship your software through AI-Native delivery, on fixed milestone pricing, backed by a 12-month bug-free warranty. If a milestone runs long, that is on us, not you.

The Gnar To Get It Done
A partnership built on what we ship, not the hours we bill
Ten years in business. 100+ projects shipped. $50M+ in product development. Here is what that buys you.
Guaranteed Outcomes
We define success in writing up front. The software works the way we agreed, or we fix it at no additional cost.
AI-Native Delivery
Context-Driven Development pairs senior engineers with AI tooling. The same scope reaches production in three to four months instead of six, at a lower price.
Guaranteed Price
We fix the price per milestone before we write any code. The number we quote is the number you pay. Overruns are on us, not you.
12-Month Warranty
For a full year after launch, we fix any non-conforming code at no charge. Most agencies stop at 30 to 90 days. We go to twelve months.
Senior U.S. Team
No offshore, no junior bench. You get senior US-based engineers in your time zone, with a founder involved in every engagement.
“We Weren’t Just A Project To Them.”
How we'd work with you
Every engagement fits one of these shapes. Most start with a plan and a guaranteed price before you commit to the build. Plan it right. Build it once.
Plan it
A discovery sprint that produces a milestone project plan, prototypes, a technical architecture, and a guaranteed price for the build. You evaluate the team and leave with a contract-ready plan, whether or not you build with us.
Build it
The build phase, delivered on fixed milestones under the full triple guarantee. A core team of senior US engineers, a Gnar product manager, and founder-level oversight. This is where most of our work happens.
Reinforce your team
Senior US engineers embedded directly in your team when you need velocity or a specific skill set, on a time-and-materials basis.
Maintain
After launch, a pre-negotiated monthly bucket of time for improvements, upgrades, and ongoing support. Optional, never required.
What an AI-Native build actually looks like
We do it backwards from most shops. We tackle the hard parts first, so you do not see a polished screen until the thing behind it actually works.
- Discovery to a guaranteed price: We map the problem, the workflows, and the architecture before quoting. The output is a milestone plan with a fixed price you can take to your CFO.
- Milestone delivery: We build in fixed-price milestones, hard parts first. You see working software at every step, not a demo that hides the gaps.
- Senior team, founder oversight: A small team of senior US engineers across web and mobile, with product design in house. The people who pitched are the people who ship.
- Hand-off ready: The codebase is yours, documented so your team can take ownership fast. No lock-in by default, and the 12-month warranty travels with the code.
$10M+ in property tax relief, delivered to seniors who needed it
AARP Foundation's Property Tax-Aide program helps low-income older adults claim property tax refunds. Their digital tools struggled with scale, security, and accessibility, and every update was slow and painful. We rebuilt the platform from the ground up, cut the clicks required by 40%, and added the features the program needed to expand into more states.
- 28,000+ users have applied for tax relief
- $10M+ in property tax relief secured
- Faster, scalable platform now serving more states
Most agencies hide the true state of your project until the budget is gone. We replace that with a guarantee.
A guaranteed price so your budget holds. A senior US-based team that ships and stands behind the work. AI-Native delivery that gets you there faster. And a 12-month warranty in writing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Three commitments on every build engagement: a fixed milestone price, a guaranteed outcome (the software works as specified or we fix it), and a 12-month bug-free warranty. It applies to Ideate, Ignite, Forge, and Maintain. It does not apply to Embed, our staff augmentation model, because in that case we are reinforcing your team rather than running the project.
Context-Driven Development is our delivery methodology. Senior engineers ship with AI tooling working alongside them, under close human supervision. The result is more shipped functionality per hour, which is why the same scope reaches production in three to four months instead of six, at a lower price, with the warranty as proof we did not cut corners.
A small team of senior US-based engineers and a product manager, covering web development, mobile development, and UI/UX design in-house. No offshore teams, no junior developers staffed on after a senior pitch.
We price by milestone, and the price is fixed before we start. The industry default is time and materials, which bills you for the vendor's own slow process and puts every overrun on your side. We invert that. The price holds, and overruns are ours.
The codebase is yours, in your repository, documented for hand-off. The 12-month warranty obligates us to fix non-conforming code, independent of any ongoing contract. Maintain, our monthly support retainer, is available for clients who want it and is never a requirement.
Ideate is a paid 2 to 6 week discovery engagement that produces a milestone plan, prototypes, an architecture, and a guaranteed price for the build. A free scoping call gives you a sales proposal. Ideate gives you a contract-ready plan you can build from, with us or with anyone. As one client told us after the fact, "I wish we would have spent more time in discovery and requirements mapping up front." Plan it right. Build it once.
Often the team is capable but at capacity, and stacking a major initiative on top of the day job is how good teams end up disappointed. When you need senior reinforcements or a specific skill set, Embed places senior engineers directly in your team. When you need a project shipped on a deadline with a guarantee, Ignite runs it end to end.
