We Build Your Vision. You Keep Your Capital.

Zero upfront engineering cost equity partnership for ambitious startups and bootstrapped founders. We become your technical backbone — building your web platform, mobile app, and cloud infrastructure from day one.

Founder Ethos

Why We Built This Program

We started WebSage and CodeBitel from ground zero — no external funding, no venture capital safety net, just relentless discipline, late nights, and a couple of laptops. We know what it feels like to possess a high-impact product vision but lack the immediate capital to hire a world-class engineering team.

Great ideas should not perish in pitch decks due to development costs. If you bring a verified problem, a validated market, and relentless founder drive, we will step in as your technical co-founders.

We invest our engineering, infrastructure, and time. You bring the vision.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Instead of paying tens of thousands of dollars in upfront agency fees, we agree on a negotiated percentage of company equity or an agreed revenue share on gross receipts. Terms depend strictly on technical complexity, market risk, and capital requirements.

Yes. You pay ₹0 upfront for design, development, server infrastructure, and deployment. We invest our internal engineering hours and server clusters. We succeed only when your business succeeds.

All project terms, including code ownership milestones and intellectual property protections, are documented clearly in an official legal agreement prior to writing a single line of production code. You retain full business IP.

This initiative is dedicated to bootstrapped founders facing capital hurdles. If you are already seed-funded or venture-backed, we recommend exploring our standard custom development and engineering services instead.

That is the inherent risk of entrepreneurial co-founding. If the business fails, you owe us nothing. We absorb our engineering and server costs as venture partners.
