FICAITION · who we are

An operator studio. Not an agency.

FicAition is a remote-first studio building custom software and AI Digital Employees for operators — founders running live businesses with revenue at stake, not concept teams iterating on slides.

FICAITION · CHARTER · BOLTED TO THE WALL

Six things. Non-negotiable.

01/ 06

You name it. We build it.

No tech religion. We pick the stack that matches the problem and the team that has to maintain it after we leave.

02/ 06

Fixed price or it doesn't exist.

If a vendor can't commit to a number and a date, they're asking you to underwrite their estimating mistakes. We carry the risk.

03/ 06

The code is yours forever.

Repo, infrastructure, ownership — all transfers at delivery. No vendor lock-in clauses. No transition fees.

04/ 06

Same stack you get is what we run.

Four WhatsApp lines, four brands, our own ERP. If a system doesn't work, we feel it before you do.

05/ 06

Remote-first. UTC+4.

Dubai HQ. Team distributed across UTC-8 to UTC+10. Async by default. Standups in your inbox, not your calendar.

06/ 06

Honest about who we're not for.

Enterprise teams needing 15+ engineers in parallel: not us. Pre-revenue founders without funding: also not us. We don't take work we can't win.

FICAITION · the stack

What we use. What we don't.

Pragmatic defaults. We bend for the project, but here's where the needle sits by default.

You're probably a good fit.

We take on 2 new partners per quarter. One 15-minute call with the founder to see if we match.
