Exceptional & Exponential
Rocket Factory helps startups and companies turn AI into things that actually ship — real products, live systems, paying users. Tiny crew, senior hands, record time.
Why we exist
Most (AI) projects die on the launch pad.
Endless pilots. Slide decks about agents. Prototypes nobody dares to put in production. We're the other thing: a small, senior crew that has built startups, platforms and products for decades — now with AI in every step of the work. You bring the idea. We leave you with something running.
How we work
We don't start from how things are usually done. We strip a problem down to what is actually true — the user, the economics, the constraints that can't move — and build up from there. Then we put AI in every loop, so the work compounds instead of just adding up.
Every assumption is a hypothesis. “That's how it's done” is not a reason.
Break it down to fundamentals: who it's for, what must be true, what it really costs.
Design the simplest thing that works from those truths up — not a copy of the competition.
Accelerate every loop with AI, so each week ships more than the last.
Our motto, in one line
E(t)What you have in orbit at time t
The starting point. Senior people reasoning from first principles — quality is the base everything else multiplies.
AI in every loop turns effort into compounding output. Each iteration makes the next one faster.
A small crew, no hand-offs, no slide decks. Nothing between the idea and the curve.
How we charge
Pay in cash, equity — or both.
We get paid the way that fits your mission. The more of our time goes into your company, the bigger it can get — so for the right founders we take part of our fee as sweet equity and grow with you, instead of just billing you.
Illustrative. Every deal is set together during Ignition — and we only take equity in missions we truly believe in.

Flight plan
01Days 1–5
We pressure-test the idea with you: who it's for, what must be true, and the smallest thing worth launching. Ends with a clear build plan.
02Week 1–2
Design and architecture in parallel. Clickable flows, the data model, the AI parts, the stack. Decisions made, not deferred.
03Week 2–6
A senior crew with AI in every loop ships production software in short, visible increments. You watch it grow, every day.

Live with real users. We tune, measure and hand over — code, docs and know-how — so your team owns it, or we stay on as crew.
Capabilities
We don't hand over a report and leave. We suit up and join your crew — senior builders, designers and AI engineers working inside your team, on your mission, until it flies.
Agents, copilots and pipelines that remove real work — built on the best current models, with guardrails.
Cloud, data and integration architecture that scales from first user to regulated enterprise.
From napkin to design system. Interfaces that make complex things feel obvious.
Web, mobile and backend products shipped to production — not prototypes that stall.
Business model, pricing, go-to-market and fundraising readiness, from people who have been founders.
Senior product and tech leadership embedded in your team when you need it — and handed over when you don't.
Built on the frontier models
Mission profiles
From idea or deck to a live, working product with real users. Fixed scope, fixed crew, no drama.
Find where AI actually moves the needle in your business — then build it into your products and processes.
Embedded CPTO and senior builders who sharpen your roadmap, architecture and delivery pace.
Every mission is different. Tell us where you want to go and we'll plot the trajectory with you.
T-minus
Tell us what you want to get off the ground. A few lines is enough — who you are, where you are, and what's in the way. We reply within a day.
