Founding clients

Three founding places. Half price on the first thing we build you.

Quartate builds custom AI automation for the jobs your team repeats every week, on the systems you already run. A founding place makes the proof week $500 instead of $1,000 and the build it scopes half price. Keeping it running afterwards, and any separate project later, are at the standard rate. If you want the $500 back, you ask and you get it.

Free, twenty minutes, and we will tell you if this is not a fit.

What a founding place costs

Standard builds are scoped inside $4,000 to $20,000, and that band is on the homepage so you can weigh it before you call. Where inside it your job sits is what the proof week finds out, and the fixed price comes after it.

The proof week
Standard:$1,000, credited in full against the build
Founding:$500, credited in full against the build
The build
Standard:Scoped and priced from the proof week
Founding:Half of what we quote. Same build, same scope
Keeping it running (optional)
Standard:$500 to $2,500 a month if you want it, cancel anytime
Founding:The same standard rate. The discount is on the build, not the retainer

The discount covers your proof week and the build it scopes, once. Scope is agreed in writing before work starts; anything added to that build is quoted at your founding rate.

Everything we build sits in your accounts, on your billing, with your keys. There is no per-seat license from us; the only new bill is the AI provider’s own, on your account, with no markup.

What we ask for in return

The right to write up what we built for you, name it, and show it. You read it before anyone else does, and nothing goes out until you have approved it.

If your work is sensitive, say so on the call. We can write it up without naming you, and the founding rate does not change.

Why only three

Each is built from scratch by the person who scoped it, and three at once is what one person can build properly. When the third is taken this page comes down, and anyone already in keeps their founding price.

Whether it fits

This works if

  • The result your business needs still depends on work your people do by hand.
  • Somebody spends real hours on it every week.
  • You can give us working logins to the systems it touches within a week of saying yes.
  • You are willing to let us write up what we built, named if you are comfortable with it.

This is not for you if

  • You want something off the shelf rather than built around how you already work.
  • You want a pilot with no intention of building anything.
  • The work cannot be described publicly in any form, even anonymized.

Asked plainly

Can I leave, and what happens to the rate if I do?

There is no minimum term and no notice period. Keeping it running is monthly, at the same rate everybody pays, and you can stop whenever you want. The founding discount applies to the first build we do for you, so there is nothing about leaving that costs you a rate you had already earned.

What happens to the $500 if we do not build?

The credit runs for twelve months, so it holds against any build that starts inside a year. If you would rather have the money instead, ask at the walkthrough and you get it. The written plan from the free call is yours in either case.

Twenty minutes, free, and we will tell you if this is not for you.

Bring one job that eats somebody’s week. You will leave knowing what we would build and roughly what it costs, whether or not you go ahead.
