We build what you can't staff for.

A vetted bench of senior builders, assembled into a team for your project — under one contract, at a fixed price, with one person accountable for the outcome.

Start a project How we work

The premise

Good builders are easy to find. Good outcomes aren't.

Strake Group — operating principle

What you're actually buying

Fixed price

You approve a number and a written scope before anyone starts. No hourly meters, no invoice surprises, no "it grew."

We eat the rework

Every deliverable passes our own review before it reaches you. Work that misses the spec gets fixed at our cost, not yours.

Five-day replacement

If anyone on your project becomes unavailable, we replace them within five business days at no cost. The firm is accountable, not an individual.

The problem

Most companies don't fail to hire talent.

They fail to evaluate it, manage it, and hold it accountable — while running the rest of the business.

A freelancer disappears mid-project. An agency assigns you the junior team after the pitch. Five vendors each own a piece and none owns the result. You end up managing the people you hired to stop managing.

We're structured to remove that. We assemble senior specialists into a team for your project, scope and price the work ourselves, review every deliverable before you see it, and stay on the hook for the outcome regardless of who does the work.

One contract · One invoice · One phone number

Practices

Four disciplines. One accountable firm.

Most firms sell one of these. We sell all four because real projects cross the lines — a physical product needs a store, a store needs automation, and none of it matters without demand.

Automation & AI

The repetitive work that eats your week — intake, scheduling, quoting, support, reporting — handled by systems that run without you. Operational, measurable, and shipped in weeks rather than quarters.

AI intake, qualification & booking agent
Customer support automation
Back-office & quoting workflow automation
CRM and systems integration
Custom internal tools & dashboards

Social, Content & Growth

Audience built as a system — creators, cadence, and automation — rather than posting and hoping. Run by people who have grown accounts and sold from them, not just scheduled posts.

UGC creator sourcing, briefing & campaign management
Short-form video & content production

Ecommerce

Migrations, custom builds, and the retention work that decides whether any of it pays back — run by people who have operated stores, not just built them.

Shopify build
Platform migration
Ecommerce ops retainer

Product Development

Physical products, concept through production. Twenty years of mechanical engineering and consumer hardware — including overseas sourcing, factory qualification, and production oversight. The practice almost no digital firm can staff.

Feasibility & manufacturability assessment
Industrial design, CAD & engineering
Design for Manufacture and tooling
International factory sourcing & qualification
Overseas production oversight & quality control
Import logistics, duties & compliance

Flagship engagement

End-to-end product launch.

From an idea to a product people can buy. One firm carries it the whole way — the engineering, the factory, the store, and the demand — so nothing is lost in the handoffs between four vendors who don't talk to each other.

Concept & feasibility

Manufacturability, materials, and a landed-cost model before anyone commits to tooling.

Design & engineering

Industrial design, CAD, tolerance analysis, and a supplier-ready drawing package.

Factory sourcing & tooling

Qualified overseas and domestic suppliers, RFQ and quote comparison, tooling kickoff, first-article inspection.

Production & quality control

Production oversight, in-line and pre-shipment inspection, import logistics, duties, and compliance.

Brand, store & content

Identity, packaging, photography, and the storefront the product actually sells through.

Launch & demand

Outbound, campaigns, retention, and fulfillment — so launch day has buyers, not just inventory.

Selected work

Product Development

Ecommerce

$1.4M+ operated

Software & AI

Approach

How a project actually runs.

The process is the product. It's what separates a firm from a search for a freelancer.

Qualify

A fifteen-minute call to establish what you're trying to accomplish and what happens if it doesn't get done. If we're not the right firm, we say so on that call.

Scope and price

We write the scope — deliverables, acceptance criteria, what's explicitly excluded, and a fixed price. You approve a document, not an estimate.

Staff

We assemble the team from our vetted bench against the specific skills your project needs. You get seniors who have done this exact work before.

Build, with a written update every Friday

Milestone-based delivery. You hear from us weekly whether or not there's news, and you hear about a slip before you'd notice it.

Review gate

Nothing reaches you until it's been checked against the acceptance criteria by someone who didn't build it. This is the step you're paying us for.

Handoff

Deliverables, credentials, documentation, and a recorded walkthrough. You own it outright. No hostage-taking on access or source.

Two ways in

For companies

Get it built

Tell us what needs to exist. We scope it, price it, staff it from the bench, and stay accountable through handoff.

Start a project

For builders

You build. We sell.

You built something real and nobody's paying you for it. We run the pipeline, the proposals, the contracts, and the collections. You keep 60–70% of engagements you never had to find or price.

Apply to the bench

Start a project

Tell us what needs to get built.

We reply within one business day. If we're not the right firm for it, we'll tell you that instead of writing a proposal.

Not ready to talk?

Ask for a free teardown — a written review of your store, product, or funnel with the specific things we'd fix and what we think they're costing you. No obligation, and it's yours to keep either way.
