Everything about K15 Labs. One page.

A capable engineering team, always working on what you decide - built in your accounts, owned by you from day one. No hiring, no HR, no payroll. One monthly price, one point of contact.

K15 Labs (Software Development, Completely Handled) is operated by K15 Labs LLC, a US company. The promise is simple: software development completely handled by people you trust, while you stay in complete control of your product. You always have a capable engineering team working on exactly what you decide, and you never hire, manage, or retain a single engineer.

Underneath that promise: AI-native developers who build, a Technical Lead who guarantees quality by reviewing every change against your standards, and a dedicated Pod Owner who is your one point of contact - all for one predictable monthly price you can scale up or down.

You stay the Product Owner: you decide what gets built, in what order, and what "done" means. That role never moves to K15 Labs. Everything is created in your accounts and owned by you from the moment it is written - no hiring, no HR, no payroll, no lock-in.

• You always have a capable team working. A team that is building the moment you need it, and keeps building week after week - no gaps, no ramp-downs when someone leaves.
• You never hire, manage, or retain engineers. No recruiting, no HR, no payroll, no freelancer roulette, no juggling contractors. That entire burden is off your plate.
• You never wonder if the code is good. A Technical Lead holds every production change to your standards, reviewing every pull request before it ships. Quality stops being something you have to police.
• You keep full ownership and control. Everything is built in your accounts and owned by you from day one, and you change priorities whenever you want. Nothing is locked away, nothing to claw back.
• One monthly price. One point of contact. A predictable number and a dedicated Pod Owner who runs the day-to-day, so you manage outcomes, never individuals.
• Radical transparency. Public pricing, draft contracts readable on the site before any call, and a written report every Friday, so you always know where things stand.
• Fast and elastic. A capable team working in 3–5 weeks from a standing start; add a developer to a running pod in about 7-14 days - no hiring cycle.

The AI, the Technical Lead, the process, and the reviews are simply how K15 Labs delivers on the promise. Three phases from first call to a working team, then a predictable weekly rhythm.

Phase 1 - Engage (one call, then paperwork you can read). A 30-minute call confirms fit, work type, scale, and timeline - we say up front if a pod is not the right fit. Then a mutual NDA, then one comprehensive Master Service Agreement. Both are readable as drafts on the site before any signature. Work begins after signed contracts and the first payment.

Phase 2 - Onboard (your team, wired into your accounts). We assemble your Pod Owner, your Technical Lead, and the AI-native developers your roadmap requires, then wire in your stack, code, accounts, environments, tooling, and access. Everything lives in your world. A working team in 3–5 weeks.

Phase 3 - Operate (software just gets built). Planning on Monday. Build Tuesday through Thursday. Your Technical Lead reviews every change against your standards. A mid-week sync with your Pod Owner. A written report every Friday covering shipped work, work in progress, blockers, next priorities, PRs reviewed, risks, and notes from your Pod Owner - so you never have to chase an update.

We work in your process, your code, your CI, your issue tracker, and your accounts - your process is the process of record. If you do not have a defined process for something, we propose one in writing during onboarding and you approve it.

Four roles, clear lines. Everyone but the Product Owner is fully managed by K15 Labs - you never hire, manage, or retain them.

• Product Owner (your side). You, or someone on your team - the one person who decides what gets built, in what order, and what "done" means. You keep complete control; this role never moves to K15 Labs.
• Pod Owner (included, not counted toward the developer cap). Your one point of contact - and always from an engineering background, so one person handles both your priorities and technical alignment with your CTO. Turns your priorities into the plan, runs the cadence (planning, standups, the Friday report), and coordinates the Technical Lead and developers behind the scenes - so you never bounce between contacts, chase updates, or manage individuals.
• Technical Lead (included, not counted toward the cap). A senior engineer embedded in every pod who guarantees quality to your standards. Owns technical direction against your tech strategy, roadmap, and spec - acting as an extension of your CTO or dev lead, or as the dev lead where there isn't one - and reviews every change before it ships, so you never wonder if the code is good.
• AI-native developers (up to 5 code-producers per pod). Vetted, professionally trained web developers fluent in modern stacks (React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node) and AI tooling. They do the building; the Technical Lead's review keeps every change production-grade.

Pods can also add specialists - designers, QA, cloud/DevOps. Specialists who ship code count toward the 5 code-producer cap; those who don't (e.g. designers) do not. Past 5 code-producers, a second pod opens automatically with its own Technical Lead.
