The distributed-team model, re-engineered to remove the three things that usually go wrong: the timezone gap, the trust gap, and the ownership gap.
A defined build with a fixed written quote, milestones and a delivery date. Best for MVPs and well-scoped products.
Full-time engineers embedded in your team and standups on a monthly retainer. Best for ongoing product work.
One or two vetted specialists to extend your in-house team for a sprint or a stack gap. Flexible, fast to start.
A free 30-minute call with a senior engineer — in your working hours — to understand the build and tell you honestly if we're a fit.
Scope, milestones, timeline and a fixed price in your currency. No surprises, no padded hours.
We start against a milestone, in a client-controlled repo — you pay for delivered work.
Live standups and weekly demos while your office is open. You see progress, not just invoices.
Testing, review and a clean launch — with documentation and a knowledge handover.
Full IP assignment and code handover, plus an optional support retainer for what comes next.
Many remote teams share only a sliver of your day — or work your night. We assign engineers whose hours already overlap yours, so you share essentially your whole working day with the UK, Ireland and the Nordics, and your mornings with Eastern Canada.
That means questions answered in minutes, not overnight; pair-programming and live design reviews; and the ability to react to a production issue while it's still your business hours — the things an async, far-flung team simply can't do.
| Working style | Overlap with your day |
|---|---|
| Meridianstacks — matched to your timezone | Near-full (0–1h offset) |
| Typical async offshore team | Partial (~4–5h window) |
| Opposite-timezone team | Poor (night-shift handoffs) |
| Local agency | Full — at 2–4× the cost |
Milestone billing — payment due only on delivered, accepted work — fixed written quotes, and invoicing in your currency. You release funds against delivered work. Read the published terms →
Client-controlled repositories from day one and full IP assignment under your jurisdiction, signed up front. Nothing is held hostage. Read the published clause →
Signed DPA plus the right cross-border safeguards — UK IDTA, EU SCCs, UAE PDPL or Canadian PIPEDA terms — for any engagement touching personal data. Read the published template →
You talk to a senior engineer — not a salesperson — on a video call before any contract. The commercial rails are public too: our legal terms and our prices.
Most offshore vendors go strangely quiet when you ask where the work actually happens — and that vagueness is usually the first thing that goes wrong. We do the opposite. Our engineering is anchored by hubs in Lagos, Nairobi and Johannesburg, and we tell you that up front because every promise we make hangs off it: the timezone overlap is a checkable fact of geography, not a scheduling favour; English is an official language in all three countries; and the engineers you'll work with are real, senior engineers you can meet on video — and — before you sign anything.
If knowing where we are changes your decision, we'd rather you make that decision on the first call than on the first invoice. Transparency is cheaper than surprise, for both of us.
| Your market | Matched hub | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| UK & Ireland | Lagos (UTC+1) | 0–1h |
| Sweden, Norway & EU | Johannesburg (UTC+2) | 0–1h |
| UAE & Gulf | Nairobi (UTC+3) | 1h |
| Canada (East) | Lagos (UTC+1) | your full morning |
No daylight-saving time in any hub — the overlap you get in January is the overlap you get in July.
Bring us something you're planning to build. We'll scope it, price it, and show you exactly how we'd run it in your timezone.
