We rescue software projects that went wrong.
Abandoned by a developer, broken by a cheap agency, or vibe-coded by AI that only works in the demo — we take it over, stabilize it, and ship it. Senior EU engineers, fixed scope, and you keep every line of code.
If any of this is you, you're not the first — and it's fixable.
The developer vanished
Stopped replying, disappeared mid-build, left you with credentials you can't use and a project you can't move.
It works in the demo
AI built it, it looked great in the pitch, and now it breaks in production and nobody can tell you why.
The agency ghosted
You paid an outsourced team, the quality collapsed, deadlines slipped, and the relationship is over.
Over budget, behind schedule
The MVP was 'almost done' three months ago. You need it shipped, not restarted from zero.
Nobody understands the code
Undocumented, untested, no handover. You inherited a black box and you're afraid to touch it.
Rescue first. Then we help you build.
We enter through the emergency and stay for the roadmap — the same senior team, from stabilization to shipping.
Software Project Rescue
Take over a stalled or abandoned project and get it stable.
Fix a Broken MVP
Finish the half-built app and salvage the codebase.
Vibe Code & AI Cleanup
Make Lovable / Cursor / Bolt / v0 / Replit output production-ready.
Code Audit & Codebase Rescue
Architecture, security and tech-debt — with a fix roadmap.
Technical Due Diligence
De-risk a codebase before your next round.
A de-risked path from broken to shipping.
Every step is fixed-scope and reversible. You always know the next move, the cost, and the outcome before you commit.

Delivery & retainer
Ongoing · month to monthFinish the roadmap and, when you're ready, keep a senior team on tap to build the next things — features, mobile, scale. Month to month, cancel anytime. You keep all code and access, always.

From rescued to shipping — with a team that already knows your code.
Real products, live in production.
We ship payment-enabled, security-hardened, multi-locale AI products on the exact stack we'd rescue yours with. Every one is live — click through.
Founders who were burned — and got unstuck.
“Our developer vanished mid-build and we were dead in the water. Shpatik took over the codebase, told us honestly what was salvageable, and had us shipping again in under three weeks.”
“The AI-built MVP looked done but fell over with real users. They hardened the security, added tests, and made it something we could actually put in front of customers.”
“Independent, senior, and refreshingly straight. The audit paid for itself the day we showed it to our investors.”
The questions burned founders actually ask.
Usually it can be saved. In practice most failed projects are a rescue or refactor, not a rebuild — we typically keep a meaningful share of the existing code. The first thing we tell you honestly is which one you're actually looking at, so you don't pay to redo work that's fine.
You tell us what's broken and share what you can. We ask the sharp questions and give you an honest first read — rescue, refactor or rebuild — plus a clear next step. There's no obligation, and you leave knowing where you stand even if you never hire us.
Always. You keep all code, repositories and infrastructure access at every stage. We can sign an NDA before you share anything, and every engagement includes a present-tense IP assignment so what we build is unambiguously yours.
Senior engineers on our team, working in your timezone (CET, with strong overlap across the EU and UK). We work on the exact stack we build our own products on — Next.js, React, React Native and Node.js.
Moldova sits in the EU timezone, follows GDPR-aligned practices, and ranks among Eastern Europe's top engineering hubs — at rates around 40% below Western agencies. You get senior EU-adjacent engineering without the Western price tag, and links to live products we've shipped so you can verify the work.
Tell us what's broken. We'll tell you the truth.
Start with a free 15-minute call or a written quote. If it's salvageable, we'll show you exactly how — and what it takes.
- You keep all code & access — always
- NDA on request, before you share anything
