The Jump · 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.

Questions

About the jump.

What people ask before committing to a 60-day engagement.

Q. What's actually included in the 60 days?

One senior team across product, design, engineering, content, and growth — whatever the throughline needs. You get a written brief and fixed scope in week one, not a menu of add-ons.

Q. What if the scope shifts mid-sprint?

The brief sets the boundary and we hold to it. If something genuinely changes the throughline, we'll flag it and decide together — we won't quietly expand the bill.

Q. Do you own what we build?

Entirely. Code lands in your repo, infrastructure in your cloud, design files in your hands. Nothing is held back to keep you on a contract.

Q. Are you the architecture studio?

No — different Tandem. Tandem Studio is an AI-native product studio in Bentonville, Arkansas. We build software, not buildings, and we're not affiliated with any architecture firm of a similar name.
