Sound familiar? Your dev disappeared. Your app is live. You're afraid to touch it.

Zee Palm is the engineering team founders call when their app has real users, real revenue, and mistakes are expensive.
Sound familiar?
These aren't hypotheticals. These are real founders, real apps, real pain.
My dev disappeared mid-project. No handoff, no documentation. The app is live with 8k users and I can't even push a hotfix. I'm literally watching 1-star reviews pile up.
The agency that built our app went from 48-hour turnarounds to 2-week silence. Now they're 'prioritizing other clients.' We're paying $12k/month for radio silence.
Every. Single. Release. breaks something else. Last week's 'small fix' took down our payment flow for 6 hours. Our CTO quit and I don't know what's in this codebase anymore.
Firebase bill went from $200 to $2,400. Nobody knows why. The freelancer who built this is 'too busy' to look at it. I'm hemorrhaging money every day this isn't fixed.
We're afraid to touch the payment flow. The original dev left no tests, no docs. One wrong move and we could double-charge customers. So we just... don't ship.
Hired a dev shop to 'take over' our app. 3 months in, they've added bugs faster than features. Now they want more money to 'stabilize' what they broke. I'm trapped.
This is the moment you need a different kind of team.
THE SHIFT
From firefighting to calm, predictable progress
Most apps don't fail because of bad ideas. They fail because no one owns the system end-to-end.
WHO WE HELP
Find your situation
Different founders face different challenges. See which scenario matches yours.
Are we the right fit?
We're selective about who we work with. Here's how to know.
Good fit
We'd love to work with you
- Your app is live with real users and real revenue
- You're tired of constant bugs, emergencies, and fire drills
- Your previous dev/agency disappeared or became unreliable
- Downtime, crashes, or slow delivery cost you real money
- You need a team that thinks like owners, not contractors
Not a fit
We're probably not right for you
- "Idea-only" founders who need an MVP built
- Looking for the cheapest bid or hourly contractors
- "Just build it fast" projects with no long-term thinking
- Clients who want output without accountability
- One-week MVPs or demo-driven development
