For qualifying projects, we'll fund the build, run it on our platform, and license it back to you. No upfront build fee. You pay as your product earns.
SaaS-Build is a program where I fund the development of your software idea, build it on MaxedPixel infrastructure, and retain ownership of the codebase. You get a license to operate and sell the product for an agreed term — typically 3–5 years — during which we share revenue. At the end of the license period, you have the option to buy out the codebase at a pre-agreed price.
I do this for one or two projects per year, maximum. It has to be a good fit for both sides — a real idea with real demand, a founder I trust, and a project that fits my stack. If it doesn't qualify, I'll tell you quickly and point you toward the Scale tier instead.
You've validated that people want this — paying customers, waitlist, LOIs, or an existing manual process you're automating.
You understand this is a multi-year relationship. You're not looking for a quick exit or a handoff the moment it's built.
React / Node / modern cloud. We build one or two of these per year — your project needs to be a good use of that slot.
“I want to build an app” isn't enough. You need a specific problem, a specific customer, and evidence they'll pay for the solution.
Crypto/Web3, gambling, adult content, MLM. No exceptions. See the About page for the full list.
We both take risk. I build and fund; you operate and sell. Revenue share means we share outcomes — good and bad.
Fill out a short form describing your idea, your evidence of demand, and your background. Takes 10 minutes. I read every one.
A 45-minute call. I'm not selling anything — I'm deciding whether this project is right for the program. You should be deciding the same.
If we're both interested, I write up a detailed proposal: what we build, timeline, revenue share structure, license term, buyout option. You review it with a lawyer before signing.
I build the product on our infrastructure. You operate it — sales, marketing, customer support. I handle the tech: hosting, maintenance, updates, monitoring.
You sell the product. We split revenue per the agreement. At the end of the term, you have the option to buy out the codebase at the pre-agreed price.
You own your brand, your customer relationships, and your business. I own the codebase during the license term. At the end, you have a pre-agreed buyout option to own the code too. This is all spelled out clearly in the contract before we start.
The buyout option gives you exactly that path. We agree on the price before we start — it's not a negotiation at the end when I have leverage. If you want to migrate to another developer after buyout, I'll hand over everything: codebase, credentials, documentation.
An investor gives you money and takes equity in your company. I give you a product and take a share of product revenue — not equity in anything you might build around it. There's no dilution, no board seat, no liquidation preference. The relationship is simpler.
3–5 years, negotiated per project. Longer terms usually mean a lower revenue share. Shorter terms mean a higher percentage but a faster path to ownership. We'll find what works for both sides.
Then we both took a risk and it didn't work out. I don't claw back anything. You don't owe me a shortfall. The revenue share is only on revenue that actually exists.
