Where they were
before we got involved.
Rengo's founders had a clear vision — a Turo-style marketplace letting car owners rent directly to drivers. But every dev shop they talked to quoted $80K+ and 12 months. Without a technical co-founder, they had no way to evaluate whether those quotes were reasonable, or who to trust. We stepped in as their technical partner, scoped the MVP down to what actually mattered, and built it.
Before Hachiko
- Quotes of $80K+ from dev shops with 12-month timelines
- No technical co-founder to evaluate options
- No product scoping or feature prioritization
After Hachiko
- Full Turo-style MVP shipped in 6 months
- Car search, rental flow, and owner dashboard live
- Built at less than half the lowest competing quote

What every dev shop quoted at $80K+ and 12 months, we shipped for under $30K in 6. The founders went from stuck in quote hell to running a live marketplace — with room in the budget to actually grow it.
