The Founder's Dilemma
You have a great idea.
But turning it into a working product feels impossible.
You know exactly what your product should do. But without a technical co-founder, every path to building it feels risky, slow, or expensive.
The Co-Founder Search
Months spent looking for a technical co-founder. Meanwhile, your idea sits in a Google Doc and competitors are shipping.

The Tooling Ceiling
Bubble or Webflow got you started, but now you need real payments, user roles, and automations — and the platform can't do it.

Your technical co-founder — without the equity split
There's a better way.
We build your product so you can focus on growing your business.
Tell us what your product should do. We handle the tech, the architecture, and the launch. You get weekly video updates and a live product in weeks, not months.
You get a real product — not a prototype — ready for your first paying customers.
You stay in control with weekly demos, clear scope, and zero technical jargon.
Payments, user accounts, admin panel, automations — all built and working on day one.
You own 100% of the code. No lock-in, no dependencies on us after launch.
After launch, you can hire your own dev team, keep iterating with us, or hand it to any developer — the code is yours.

What we've built for founders like you.
Real products built for real founders. Every project below went from an idea to a launched product.
MarketplaceAutomotiveFull-Stack
Findmycarpart
A production reverse marketplace for used auto parts: car owners describe the part they need once, relevant salvage yards compete with structured offers, and the buyer compares them in one place. Built in seven weeks.

Three.js3D ConfiguratorManufacturing
Relief Plant 3D Configurator
A browser-based 3D configurator for a playground equipment manufacturer, where spatial planning and commercial configuration are the same action: place real catalogue products on a to-scale site, and the bill of materials and price are derived from the scene itself.

AuctionsDesktop AppClient Isolation
Bidque
A desktop-first auction access platform for a licensed vehicle broker. Many customers work inside the real auction experience through shared broker infrastructure, while each sees only their own bids, lots and purchases — isolation enforced above a platform the broker does not control.

VIN DecodingAutomotive DataInternal Tool
Vinegy
A closed vehicle intelligence portal built around one input. A VIN becomes structured specifications, open recall campaigns, history and risk signals, and an operational shipping status — with per-customer usage the administrator can see and limit.

How It Works
From your idea to
a live product. In weeks, not months.
A simple, transparent process designed for founders who want to see their product come to life — fast.
Step 1Scope & Plan
You tell us what your product should do. We turn that into a clear plan — no technical knowledge needed from your side.
Step 2Build & Weekly Reviews
We build your product and send you a video walkthrough every week. You see real progress and give feedback — no surprises.
Step 3Integrations & Polish
We connect payments, emails, AI features, and everything else. Then we polish every screen until it looks and works perfectly.
Step 4Launch & Handoff
Your product goes live on your domain. We hand over access and documentation — hosting, domain, third-party services, and the docs — and walk you through all of it. The code itself is yours from day one. You're ready to grow.
Pricing
Fixed Prices. Milestone Payments.
Clear Scope.
Pay 30% at kickoff, 30% on approved UX and architecture, 30% on staging acceptance, and 10% at production handoff.

Trusted by Clients
Real client experiences that speak to the strength of our work.
“I spent months looking for a team that could handle our domain — US customs, auto parts catalogs, complex logistics. Most developers ran away after the first call. Shipkit jumped in, figured out the customs integration in days, built the entire FMCP marketplace, and shipped internal tools we actually use every day. Honestly — I didn't think it was possible this fast.”
Mohammad Hussein
CEO
Findmycarpart
“We needed an AI content engine that could produce 30+ SEO articles per month on autopilot — keyword research, competitor analysis, fact-checking, publishing. Shipkit built the entire multi-agent pipeline from scratch. Now UPgrid runs autonomously, and our clients see real organic traffic growth within weeks.”
Dmitry Volkov
Founder
UPgrid
“Our 3D wall panel configurator needed to work in real-time — drag panels, change colors, preview finishes, calculate quantities, and integrate with our order system. Shipkit delivered a production-ready 3D constructor that our customers actually love using. Sales through the configurator exceeded our projections in the first month.”
Alexey Petrov
Head of Digital
Zavod Relyef
“What stood out was the clarity. We always knew what was in scope, what was being built next, and what we would receive at handoff. Shipkit structured our analytics platform from a messy prototype into something our operations team relies on daily.”
Elena Kozlova
Operations Director
Genome AI
“Shipkit brought structure to a project that had too many moving parts. They rebuilt our internal ops platform, integrated real-time data feeds, and the final product felt thought through, stable, and ready for day-to-day use by a non-technical team.”
Daniel Reeves
CTO
Hotto
“We approached Alex to build a complete user management and licensing system, and he implemented it end-to-end: authentication, payments, license generation and delivery, plugin activation, seat management, and offline activation. The solution is reliable, well-structured, and production-ready. We highly recommend working with Alex.”

Hey, I'm Alex Goncharov.
Meet Your Technical Partner
Hey, I'm Alex Goncharov.
I've spent 10+ years building products and leading engineering teams. I started Shipkit because I saw too many founders with great ideas get stuck — overpaying agencies, chasing unreliable freelancers, or waiting months for a technical co-founder.
Now I help non-technical founders go from idea to live product in weeks, not months. You don't need to understand code — you just need to know what your product should do. I handle the rest.
You talk directly to the person building your productNo account managers, no middlemen, no lost-in-translationI explain everything in plain English — zero tech jargonFAQ
Frequently asked questions about us.
Have a question?
Let's discuss it now!
I'm not technical. Can I still work with you?
That's exactly who we built Shipkit for. You describe what your product should do — we handle all the technical decisions, architecture, and code. You'll get weekly video updates in plain English, not developer jargon.
Do I own everything you build?
100% yes. The code, the design, the infrastructure — it's all yours from day one. After launch, you can hire your own team, keep working with us, or hand it to any developer. No lock-in.
Why fixed price instead of hourly?
Because you deserve to know the exact cost before we start. Hourly billing rewards slow work. We commit to a fixed price, a clear scope, and a delivery date — so there are no surprises on your invoice.
What if I just have an idea and nothing else?
That's a great place to start. Book a free call and we'll help you figure out what to build first, what can wait, and which plan makes sense.
What if my project is bigger than the standard tiers?
We scope custom projects individually. Tell us what you need and we'll put together a proposal with a fixed price and clear timeline. Most custom builds land in the 6–9 week range.
What happens after launch?
You get post-launch bug support (14 or 30 days depending on your plan), a walkthrough session so you know how everything works, and full documentation. We can also discuss ongoing support if you need it.
