Custom Software for Startups That Need to Ship Fast

You need a technical partner, not just a vendor. We help startups go from idea to launch with custom-built MVPs, scalable architectures, and the engineering discipline to grow from day one. No templates. No technical debt traps.

Why Startups Choose Foxlabs

We've launched dozens of startups. We know what works, what doesn't, and how to avoid the mistakes that kill early-stage products. We're not just writing code — we're helping you build a business.

Speed to Market

We use Elixir and Phoenix to ship MVPs in weeks, not months. Our stack lets a small team deliver what would take larger teams twice as long with traditional frameworks.

Built to Scale

Your MVP isn't throwaway code. We architect from day one so you can go from 100 users to 100,000 without a rewrite. Elixir's concurrency model makes scaling almost free.

Startup-Friendly Pricing

Based in Mexico, we offer competitive rates without compromising on quality. Stretch your runway further while getting senior-level engineering talent.

Founder-Friendly Communication

Weekly demos, Slack access to your dev team, and transparent progress tracking. You'll always know exactly where your product stands and what's coming next.

Same Time Zone

Real-time collaboration during your working hours. No 12-hour communication lag. Quick decisions, fast iterations, and a team that feels like your own.

Technical Advisory

Beyond writing code, we advise on architecture decisions, tech stack choices, deployment strategies, and scaling plans. We've been through it before.

From Idea to Launch

Our proven process takes you from napkin sketch to production-ready product. Every phase is designed to validate fast and build smart.

1

Discovery & Strategy

We map your business model, define the core user journeys, and identify the minimum viable feature set to validate your idea.

2

Design & Architecture

UI/UX design, database architecture, and technical blueprints. We design for your first 100 users and your first 100,000.

3

Build & Iterate

Agile sprints with weekly demos. You see progress every week and can pivot quickly based on feedback and market signals.

4

Launch & Scale

Production deployment, monitoring, and ongoing support. We stay with you post-launch to iterate, optimize, and scale.

Our Specialty

MVP Development Done Right

An MVP isn't a half-baked product. It's the smartest version of your idea — the one that proves your market, delights early users, and gives you a foundation to build on. We build MVPs that founders are proud to demo to investors.

  • Core feature set defined through discovery workshops
  • Production-grade code from day one — no throwaway prototypes
  • User authentication, payments, and admin panels included
  • Deployed to production with CI/CD, monitoring, and backups

SaaS Applications

Multi-tenant platforms with subscription billing, usage metering, role-based access, and white-label capabilities.

The Stack That Lets Startups Punch Above Their Weight

We build with Elixir and Phoenix because it lets a team of 3 deliver what would take 10 engineers with Node.js or Ruby. Less infrastructure, fewer bugs, faster iterations — and a codebase that scales to millions of users without a rewrite.

Your startup gets enterprise-grade technology at startup-friendly costs. The same foundation that powers Discord, Pinterest, and Pepsi.
