Software development company in Shoreditch for startups and scale-ups

No, SpiderHunts has no office in Shoreditch and no staff based anywhere in Hackney. SpiderHunts Technologies Ltd, Companies House number 16718403, uses 182-184 High Street N, Office 14607, London E6 2JA solely as a registered office. Our engineers work from Lahore, and stand-ups, planning sessions and demos all take place on video calls during your working hours.

An MVP or internal tool costs £8,000 to £20,000 at our published prices. A SaaS platform starts from £30,000, a cross-platform mobile app costs £15,000 to £35,000, and a business web application £20,000 to £45,000. The figure for your product depends on scope, which we set out with exclusions in a written quote before any sprint begins.

Yes, through our IT staff augmentation service we supply dedicated engineers who join your team. They attend your stand-ups, take tickets from your backlog, work in your repository and follow your review rules, while your engineering lead keeps control of architecture and priorities. Pricing is published on that page, and you agree it in writing before anyone starts.

It depends on how central the technology is and how fast you need to learn. If engineering is your long-term edge, hire early, perhaps with outside help for the first version. If you need to test demand quickly, outsourcing an MVP lets you learn before committing to salaries. Many founders do both: an outsourced first version, then in-house hires once usage proves the idea.

Not if it is scoped and built sensibly, though some parts usually change as you learn. We use mainstream frameworks, write tests for the core workflow and keep the architecture simple, so a later team extends it rather than starting again. What we will not do is over-engineer a first version for traffic you do not have yet.

Yes, we build AI features such as search, summarising, classification and agents that carry out multi-step tasks. Each one ships with an evaluation set, a list of real examples with expected results, so you can see whether a model or prompt change helped. We also explain the running costs per request, which matters when a free trial could attract thousands of users.

Consider any supplier whose claims you can verify, and judge us the same way. Read independent reviews (SpiderHunts is rated 4.6 on Clutch), insist on a written quote with exclusions, confirm in the contract that you own the code and IP, and speak to past clients. We do not claim to be the best software company in Shoreditch; a free consultation lets you decide.

No, we are not a managed IT provider. We do not offer a help desk, laptop, network or server maintenance, hardware, cabling, Microsoft 365 administration or on-site visits. SpiderHunts is a software company. When we talk about IT consulting we mean technology advice for founders: picking systems, planning a build or rewrite, integration and automation design, and AI readiness.

You own the code and the IP once the work is paid in full, as the contract states, which is what investors expect to see in due diligence. Repositories, cloud accounts and app store listings are in your company's name from the start. Handover includes documentation, so a future in-house team can take over without depending on us.

Sprints run on your board, and every ceremony is a video call booked in your working day. Lahore is five hours ahead of the UK in winter and four hours ahead during British Summer Time, so the engineering day has already begun by the time of your morning stand-up. Decisions and progress are written into tickets and pull requests rather than left in conversation.

We build products to support UK GDPR requirements from the first version: role-based access, audit logs, retention and deletion rules, consent records, and routes for access and erasure requests. Your company remains the data controller, so privacy notices and ICO registration are yours. When we process personal data for you, a written data processing agreement governs it.

Yes, we work with businesses across Shoreditch, Hoxton, Old Street and the streets towards Brick Lane and Spitalfields. Old Street roundabout sits on the boundary with Islington, so teams just to the west may prefer our Islington page. Wherever you are, the prices, process and video-call meetings are exactly the same.
