The 60-Day Sprint · Your Stuff

We are the cold start for stuck businesses.

Could your project use some time in the studio with an elite team of strategy, content, UX/UI, marketing, and development experts? Sixty days, flat fee, no retainer, no contractors.

The broken model

Why agencies stay rich and you stay stuck.

Traditional agencies want a 12-month retainer, $250k minimum, and total disruption of your org chart. At the end, they hand you a 90-page PDF that goes in a drawer while your actual problems remain unsolved.

// 12-month retainer model

The agency way

  • — Open-ended scope. The meter runs.
  • — Strategy decks, then a hand-off cliff.
  • — Contractor model. Faces change weekly.
  • — Billable hours. Misaligned incentives.
  • — 90-page PDF in a drawer at the end.

The Tandem way

  • + Flat $25k entry. Once paid, you're done paying.
  • + Strategy + design system + technical build, in parallel.
  • + Senior operators only. No contractors.
  • + Future revenue-share or equity. We win when you win.
  • + We leave you with an engine, not a binder.

What's in the sprint

Strategy. Design. Code.
One team. Sixty days.

Click through. Each stream runs in parallel — not in sequence — because that's the only way 60 days actually works.

Our diagnostic agent and the team find the bottleneck and pick the throughline. You leave week one with a written brief, fixed scope, and a 60-day plan with milestones.

  • · AI-powered diagnostic survey
  • · Operational bottleneck mapping
  • · Written brief & fixed scope
  • · Milestone plan with kill criteria
  • · GTM hypothesis & success metrics
  • · Stakeholder alignment in week one

Brand, interface, motion. A design system your team can extend after we leave — not a dead Figma file. Led by Cade Collister, who built Country Outfitter to 10M+ fans.

  • · Brand identity & voice
  • · Design system (tokens, components)
  • · IA, flows, interaction design
  • · Visual systems shipped in code
  • · Motion & micro-interactions
  • · Accessibility (WCAG 2.2 AA)

Production software — web, mobile, internal tools — with AI woven through. Led by Scott Davis, who scaled engineering at StockX and led 60+ engineers at New Relic APM.

  • · TypeScript / React / Next.js
  • · Python / Go backends
  • · LLM agents, RAG, evaluations
  • · Cost & latency budgets
  • · CI/CD, observability, on-call
  • · Code in your repo, infra in your cloud

Newsletter, podcast, launch content, GTM. Led by Jaime Solis (SVP at LiveOne, ex-Slacker) — the same playbook that grew engagement 65% in his last role.

  • · Audience strategy & positioning
  • · Newsletter & podcast operating systems
  • · Launch sequencing
  • · Creator partnerships & PR
  • · Content production & distribution
  • · Measurement that's not vanity
