Partnership Options
Partnership at Ferrous Labs is about how we navigate the path to successful products together.
We work alongside you, combining your expertise with our product team to create, launch and grow software together. You always stay in control, with clear ownership and transparent billing. We offer simple delivery partnerships for those who want agility, or joint ventures where we share equity and responsibilities. Every method is designed to give you real progress, open communication, and a steady path to shared success.
Delivery Partnership
Think agile agency, powered by your control. You own everything we build, while billing stays simple: time and materials, no strings attached.
Choose to work with Ferrous Labs and your project moves fast, with you firmly in control. Our delivery partnership is practical and straightforward—we act as your dedicated product team, building what you need while you keep clear, lasting ownership from the first day. Contracts and costs are easy to understand, with time-and-materials billing and open progress tracking. You guide priorities; we bring your ideas alive with design, development, hosting, and support—all updates and fixes handled quickly, so nothing slows you down. Every part of the product, from the first wireframe to each new feature, belongs solidly to you. If you want to change direction or grow, just tell us—no sticky restrictions, no waiting around. You get full control, with a team focused on building what matters most.
Set the Direction, We Make it Happen
You share your goals and vision, and we get started straight away. Our team joins your project and moves from idea, to design, to launch—quickly and with a clear focus on your top priorities. You always decide what comes next.
All-in-One Delivery
From designing how the product looks to sorting out the technical side and fixing bugs, we cover every part of the build. Whether it’s a new release or a fast response to a support question, you get practical help with no runaround.
Clear Process, No Surprises
With simple time-based billing, real-time updates, and honest communication, you never have to second guess where things stand. You only pay for real progress, and every step is clearly explained before we take it.
Everything Belongs to You
Every feature, line of code, and idea is yours to keep. If your plans change or you want to grow the product, you don’t need to ask permission—just say the word and we adapt.
Equity Partnership
Raising funds shouldn’t hold back innovation. Our equity method means we build and own your SaaS together.
Choose the Equity Partnership and we set up a joint venture where ownership of the product is shared. You bring real-world problems from your sector, along with your industry knowledge. We handle the technical side—building, designing, testing, and running the software. You connect with customers and lead the way on product direction, while we back you up every step and make sure things get delivered at pace. This partnership allows us to reduce upfront costs whilst you keep practical control, and both sides gain as the product grows. Everything is upfront: the risk and rewards are shared, and all decisions are made together.
Shared Commitment, Shared Results
First, we focus on one thing: proving people will pay for your product. Once we’ve confirmed the demand, we put skin in the game by lowering our development fees in exchange for equity. You bring the domain expertise; we bring the technical engine to build it.
Complete Support from Start to Scale
You focus on building your audience. We take care of all the tech—from planning and development to hosting, security, and updates. New features and product changes roll out quickly so your software keeps up with the needs of your users.
Long-Term Partnership
We don’t walk away after launch. Ferrous Labs keeps working with you, handling updates and improvements, so your product gets stronger, your customer base keeps growing, and momentum never stalls.
Your Knowledge, Our Method
You bring the real-world problems; we bring the Science of SaaS, to productise your professional network and expertise by building a custom SaaS platform under a shared-risk model.
Apply to become an Equity Partner
Each year, we select three founders to become equity partners. We offset development costs in exchange for a stake in the product, combining your domain expertise with our SaaS execution power. Due to the intensive nature of these builds we strictly cap these partnerships.
