Twenty people became six. The roadmap sped up.

A London fintech, an FSQS-registered platform serving UK lenders and conveyancers, ran product development through a 20-person outsourced team. Sprints slipped and the budget bought less every quarter. We built one module in parallel, risk-free, and the comparison made the decision for them.

  • Twenty became six.

    A 20-person vendor team replaced by six Lightbloom seniors.

  • Five to ten times more shipped.

    Measured across the roadmap, month after month, with quality up.

  • The invoice never moved.

    The monthly budget stayed exactly what they paid the old vendor.

AI-native is not a bolt-on.

Every engineer works with a fleet of AI agents: agents draft the code, tests and documentation; seniors direct, review and own the result. This is how we have built software for years. It is why six people out-deliver twenty.

Senior-only. No pyramid.

Every person on your account is a senior engineer. No junior farm billed under one good lead, no rotating cast, no re-onboarding tax every quarter. A small European team on UK-compatible hours, inside your tools and your standups.

How it works.

Nothing is at risk until you have seen the difference on your own codebase.

  1. Book a callThirty minutes on your roadmap and your current vendor. No pitch deck.
  2. Pick one moduleWe build a well-bounded slice in parallel with your current team. Your delivery is never at risk.
  3. Thirty days, risk-freeReal codebase, real tickets. You compare output side by side. If we are not clearly better, you pay nothing.
  4. Take over at your budgetWe take the roadmap at exactly what you pay your vendor today. No rate cards, no change-request theatre.
  5. CompoundOur agents learn your codebase and your domain every sprint. Output keeps climbing while the budget stays flat.

Is this for you?

  • Your vendor is not using AI.Twenty people writing every line by hand, and no credible plan to change that. You are paying 2020 productivity at 2026 prices.
  • You are paying a pyramid.One strong lead, a rotating cast of juniors, and a rate card that only moves up. You are billed for headcount, not output.
  • You are choosing a vendor now.Skip the 20-person era. Scope the budget a traditional vendor would quote, and start at the AI-native ceiling instead.

We ran software companies, not just projects.

We come from private equity, where we operated enterprise software companies with our own money on the line: 50+ software products across 7 companies, 1,000+ engineers. We know what a roadmap is worth, what delay costs, and what a CFO needs to see. Easy to work with is part of the product.

Frequently asked questions.

How can it be the same budget?

We price the takeover at what you pay your current vendor today. AI agents multiply what each senior engineer ships, so our economics work on output, not headcount. Your invoice stays flat; the delivery does not.

What does the risk-free thirty days look like?

Thirty days on your real codebase and real tickets, usually one well-bounded module built in parallel with your current team. You compare output side by side. We charge only if it works: if we are not clearly better, you pay nothing and we part ways.

How do six people replace twenty?

Seniority and tooling. Agents draft code, tests and documentation; senior engineers direct them, review every line and own the result. At our London fintech engagement the measured outcome is five to ten times the previous team's delivery, with quality up.

We are evaluating outsourcing for the first time. Is this for us?

Yes. We scope a monthly budget the way a traditional vendor would, then deliver multiples of what that vendor's team would ship for it. Starting AI-native is easier than migrating to it later.

What happens to our current vendor during the switch?

They keep working. We start in parallel on one module, so there is no handover cliff and no gap in delivery. Once you decide, we take over the roadmap on a schedule your team controls.

Where is the team based?

Europe. Senior engineers on UK-compatible hours, present in your standups, reachable on your existing tools. No midnight handoffs, no relay-race project management.

Who owns the code, and how is our IP protected?

You do, from day one. Work happens in your repositories, your cloud and your tracker, under your access controls. AI agents run under those same controls, and your code is never used to train anyone's models.

What do you build?

Full-stack product engineering: web, mobile, cloud, APIs and data. A fintech trusts us with its production roadmap; your stack is unlikely to scare us. If it is genuinely outside our depth, we will say so on the first call.
