Why now
The economics of building software changed — the constraint is no longer budget, it's whether you move.

Who's building
AndrewFounder & CTO
A founder who ships — not a dev shop, not a solo advisor.
I'm Andrew. I've been building AI systems for 15 years — long before it was a pitch-deck word — with published research in Nature Scientific Reports. I trained as a founder at Entrepreneur First, raised $1.5M for an AI startup, built a nutrition platform to 50,000+ users, and had another acquired in 2025. I build first versions that actually get used — scoped tight, shipped fast, and proven by the only test that matters: real people using them, and some of them paying.
A dev agency builds what you spec and owns no strategy. A fractional CTO advises but rarely ships. You get both from one person: founder-level judgment on what to build, and a senior team that ships it — with genuine AI depth, not a wrapper.

What I build
Custom software, built and shipped like a founder.

Real AI — LLMs, RAG, agents, and chatbots — built by a published AI researcher.
03
Apps & MVPs
First versions and multi-sided platforms, scoped tight and shipped fast.
04
Industries
Compliance-heavy verticals with real shipping behind them.

Who this is for
01
Founders with a first version to build
You have an idea AI has finally made buildable, and you want a real, custom first version in front of users — not a template, not a year-long build. You get someone who genuinely knows AI, ships fast, and gives you the confidence that the person building it knows exactly what they're doing.
02
Corporate innovators
You're building an internal startup against an organisation that moves slowly. You get startup speed and founder-level ownership — a first version in front of real users while the roadmap is still being argued about elsewhere.
03
Operators who ship
You're done talking about the idea and want it live. You get founder-grade judgment and current AI depth, not a ticket queue — and complete confidence the person building it knows exactly what they're doing.

What clients say — 5.0★ across every engagement
“Working with Andrew felt like a real advantage from day one. He's not just a strong builder; he's a founder who's developed real products. He didn't just improve the output — he pushed my thinking about the product itself. Investor-ready results.”
“Andrew is in a different league. What started as a product concept turned into a masterclass in how technical projects and startups should run. Response time was instant, updates were proactive, and the final deployment was flawless.”
“If you need a top AI developer or fractional CTO who can turn ideas into working software fast, then I can't recommend Andrew enough. The product runs fast, scales better, and we fully own the code.”
“He thinks about things like a founder would. He is communicative, accountable for his work, and delivered upon all milestones ahead of schedule. I highly recommend Andrew.”
Questions, answered
How much does it cost to build an AI app or MVP?
Most first versions land between $15,000 and $30,000 — a fraction of the $100k+ this would have cost a year or two ago. AI has collapsed the cost of turning an idea into working software. Godelian scopes your idea to a provable core and ships it in weeks, so you pay for outcome and speed, not a bloated build.
Is now the right time to build my AI startup idea?
Yes — and the window is short. AI has opened roughly a one-to-two-year window where a sharp idea can still win an unclaimed market. The founders who ship now take it; the ones who wait for a perfect plan watch someone else move first. The constraint is no longer cost or time — it's whether you strike while the door is open.
What does Godelian do?
Godelian is a founder-led software studio run by Andrew. We build first versions of products — custom software, MVPs, and AI applications — and get them in front of real, paying users fast, usually for $15–30k in weeks. You get founder-level ownership and genuine AI depth, not a dev shop that hands you a backlog.
Who is the founder of Godelian?
Godelian is run by Andrew, a founder and CTO who has been building AI systems for 15 years. He trained as a founder at Entrepreneur First, raised $1.5M for an AI startup, scaled a nutrition platform to 50,000+ users, had another startup acquired in 2025, and is a published AI researcher (Nature Scientific Reports). He builds first versions that actually get used.
Why hire a founder who knows AI instead of a normal dev agency?
A dev agency builds what you spec and owns no strategy; a fractional CTO advises but rarely ships. Godelian does both — founder-level judgment on what to build, plus a senior team that ships it. And because AI is where the speed and cost advantage now lives, you want someone who works with the latest models daily, not a generalist bolting on a wrapper.
How fast can you build an MVP?
Most first versions ship in weeks, not quarters. With modern AI tooling the gap between 'we have an idea' and 'users are paying for it' has collapsed. Godelian scopes to a provable core, ships running software every week, and iterates on real user behaviour rather than a long roadmap — so you can win the market while your idea is still hot.
What kind of custom software do you build?
Multi-role, multi-tenant SaaS platforms and marketplaces — client, staff, and admin portals with role-based access, secure document handling, payments, and AI features. Godelian has shipped these across regulated and accountability-heavy industries: legal, healthcare, fintech, education, property, and M&A, typically on Next.js, TypeScript, and Supabase with row-level security.
