Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about Bold, audits, sprints, and how we help founders move from prototype to product.
Who is Bold for?
Bold is for founders who built their MVP using AI tools (like Lovable, Replit, or similar) and have hit technical limits. We help with authentication, deployments, integrations, architecture, performance, and scaling. If you want experienced engineering support with clear pricing, structured execution, and a clear path forward, Bold is the right fit.
What's included in Technical Audits?
Each Technical Audit identifies blockers, feasibility, risks, architecture issues, and recommended sprint scope. Starter Audits ($99) provide snapshot reviews and deployment assessments. Engineering Audits ($499) include architecture reviews and feasibility analysis. Product Audits ($1,499) offer end-to-end code reviews, performance analysis, and migration strategies.
How do sprints work?
After your Technical Audit, you enter a sprint that matches your founder type and goals. Ship Sprints ($500-1,500) stabilize and deploy for Emerging Founders. Launch Sprints ($1,500-5,000) prepare products for market for Independent Founders. Scale Sprints ($5,000-20,000+) strengthen systems for growth for Startup Founders. Each sprint has clear deliverables, defined outcomes, and a roadmap for next steps.
What's the difference between the three founder types?
Emerging Founders are building their first version and need help stabilizing and deploying. Independent Founders have an MVP with users but are blocked by engineering tasks. Startup Founders operate real businesses with growth pressure and architectural limits. Each type has different investment ranges and needs.
Is Bold a good fit if I haven't built anything yet?
Bold is designed for founders who have already built something with AI tools and need help moving forward. If you're still ideating or haven't built anything yet, Bold may not be the right fit. We focus on taking existing AI-built products from prototype to production-ready, helping you ship, launch, or scale.
Do you offer long-term hourly development?
Bold focuses on structured sprints with clear deliverables rather than long-term hourly development. Our model is built around audits and sprints designed for speed and structure. If you need ongoing hourly development, Bold may not be the right fit.
How long does a Technical Audit take?
Technical Audit timelines vary by type. Starter Audits are quick snapshot reviews. Engineering and Product Audits are more comprehensive and may take longer. After your Technical Audit, you'll receive a detailed report with recommendations and a sprint plan.
What happens after I complete a sprint?
After completing a sprint, you'll have achieved the defined outcomes for your stage. You may choose to continue with additional sprints as your product evolves, or you may have reached a point where you can move forward independently. Each sprint includes a roadmap for next steps.
Can I skip the Technical Audit and go straight to a sprint?
No, every engagement starts with a Technical Audit. Technical Audits are essential for identifying blockers, assessing feasibility, evaluating risks, and determining the right sprint scope. This audit-first model ensures we provide the right solution for your specific situation and set you up for success.
