LittleUniverse

Vol. 01 — Est. 2026

AI & software development, built with care.

Little Universe is a software studio for the teams who’d rather work with people than agencies. We design, build, and maintain AI-enabled applications — and the web, mobile, and cloud systems around them — for startups and small businesses.

Little Universe LLC — a Wyoming software studio of independent engineers, working with founders since 2026.

§  One

What we make.

Software development and technical consulting, delivered as professional services. Each engagement starts with a conversation, not a quote.

  1. AI Application Development

    LLM-powered features, AI agents and workflow automation, search and question-answering over your own documents, and the evaluation that tells you whether it actually works. Built into your product or internal tools, on the model providers and cloud accounts you own.

  2. Custom Software Development

    Web and mobile applications built around how your team actually works. From early MVPs to a polished v1.0 — we ship, we measure, we improve. We write code we’d be willing to maintain ourselves.

  3. Cloud Architecture & DevOps

    Foundations on AWS, GCP, or Azure that survive your growth. Infrastructure as code, CI/CD pipelines, observability — the unglamorous work that lets engineers sleep at night.

  4. Fractional CTO & Technical Consulting

    Senior technical leadership without the full-time hire. We embed with founders to set architecture direction, plan AI adoption, hire the right engineers, and untangle the hard decisions.

  5. Legacy Modernization

    The systems your business runs on shouldn’t be the systems holding you back. We migrate, refactor, and modernize — carefully, and with the lights on.

§  Two

How we work.

Every project follows the same four steps, from first call to final invoice.

  1. i.

    Discovery

    A free 30–60 minute call to understand the problem, the constraints, and what success looks like.

  2. ii.

    Proposal & agreement

    A written scope of work with deliverables, timeline, and fee, signed between your company and Little Universe LLC.

  3. iii.

    Build & deliver

    Work in agreed milestones, with regular demos. Code lives in your repository and runs in your own cloud accounts.

  4. iv.

    Invoice & payment

    Little Universe LLC invoices for its own work. You pay the invoice by bank transfer to our business account.

§  Three

Pricing.

Three ways to work with us. Every engagement is quoted in writing before any work begins.

  • Fixed-price project

    from USD 5,000

    per project

    A defined deliverable — an MVP, an AI feature, a migration — for an agreed total fee, invoiced against milestones. Most projects fall between USD 5,000 and 50,000.

  • Time & materials

    USD 60–150

    per hour, by seniority

    Ongoing development or open-ended work, billed for hours actually worked. Timesheets and an invoice are sent at the end of each month.

  • Monthly retainer

    USD 1,500–6,000

    per month

    Fractional CTO, technical advisory, or ongoing maintenance for a fixed monthly fee, invoiced in advance. Cancel with 30 days’ notice.

  • All fees are for our professional services and are quoted in US dollars. We don’t charge commissions or percentage-based fees.
  • Invoices are issued by Little Universe LLC and are payable by bank transfer within 14 days unless your agreement says otherwise.
  • Third-party costs — cloud hosting, model APIs, app store fees, licences — are not included and are billed to you directly by those providers.

§  Four

Get in touch.

Tell us what you’re working on. We answer within two working days, and we’d rather have a quick call than send another form.

Or, if you prefer: a short note about the problem, the timeline, and how to reach you back is plenty to start.
