Featherwork InvoicingWe build products. Sometimes, we build yours.
Featherwork is a two-principal venture studio — hands-on builders who ship their own software, and occasionally take on client work for problems we believe in.
Two principals. No handoffs, no juniors.
Featherwork is Ian and Juan. We write the code, talk to the people we're building for, and ship the release — there's no bench of junior engineers, no account manager relaying messages, no rotating team you'll never meet. If we take on your project, we're the two people building it, start to finish.
We practice what we preach — Featherwork Invoicing is our own product, live and in use today, built and run with the same discipline we'd bring to yours.
Two ways to work with us
We're a two-principal venture studio. We build software for businesses we believe in — and we structure every engagement around one of two simple starting points.
$110/hour
Sprint-based; quarter-time to full-time capacity per principal.
- You own everything we build for you — clean and simple.
- Two senior principals, hands-on. No handoffs, no juniors.
- Two-week sprints with working software at every step.
- Transparent weekly billing.
Reduced rate + stake
Rates reduced 20–40% in exchange for modest equity or revenue share, earned as the product hits milestones.
- For products we genuinely believe in.
- Our success is tied to yours — we're invested well beyond launch.
- A committed technical partner, not a vendor.
- Offered selectively; let's talk about whether it fits.
Not sure which fits?
Most engagements start standard. Partner engagements are a conversation — tell us where your product is headed and we'll tell you honestly whether we're the right partner for it.
Featherwork — a venture studio. We build products; sometimes we build yours.
A small team that ships.
Some problems don't have an off-the-shelf answer. We partner with teams that know what they need and want builders with taste and judgment on it. You get direct access to the two of us — not a rotating account team.
We start from the problem, not the technology.
The right architecture follows from what you need, not from what we already know how to build. We ask hard questions before we write a line of code.
We ship.
Good software in production beats perfect software sitting in staging. We work in short cycles and put working software in front of real users early.
We treat your problem like it's ours.
You get direct access to the people doing the work. No account managers, no weekly status decks — just clear communication and honest progress.
"The discipline of shipping your own product is the best training ground for shipping someone else's."
