United States & Canada
Software Development Agency for US & Canadian Businesses
GridCore builds custom software, MVPs, SaaS platforms and AI automation for US and Canadian companies with a senior-only engineering team. Projects start at $4,000 USD, embedded engineers start at $1,500/month, and every engagement is month-to-month with full IP transfer. Our San Francisco presence and 4-6 hours of daily overlap with Eastern and Pacific time mean you get same-day answers without paying Bay Area rates.
US founders and operators usually come to us with one of three problems: a domestic agency quote that is 3-5x their budget, a freelancer marketplace project that stalled, or an internal team that is too busy to take on a new product. GridCore is built for exactly those situations.
Every engineer on your project has at least five years of production experience. You talk to the people writing the code, in your Slack, in your hours. There is no account-manager layer and no bait-and-switch to juniors after kickoff.

Questions from United States clients
Do you work with US startups that have no technical co-founder?+
Yes - roughly half of our US clients are non-technical founders. We run a scoping workshop first, write the spec with you, then build and hand over a documented codebase you own outright.
What timezone coverage do US clients get?+
Our engineers work a schedule that overlaps 4-6 hours with US Eastern and Pacific time every business day, with a dedicated Slack channel and same-day responses. Async progress updates go out daily.
How does GridCore pricing compare to a US software agency?+
A comparable senior-led US agency typically charges $150-$250 per hour. GridCore full-time senior engineers are $4,000 per month (about $25 per hour equivalent) and fixed-scope MVPs start at $4,000. Same seniority, no lock-in.
Can you sign a US-law contract and NDA?+
Yes. We sign mutual NDAs and work-for-hire agreements under US governing law when requested, and we can use your paper or ours.
Do you support Canadian clients?+
Yes. We serve companies across Canada with the same engagement model, PIPEDA-aware data handling and optional CAD invoicing.
Is GridCore a US company?+
GridCore is a remote-first agency with a presence in San Francisco, London and Sydney and an engineering team distributed globally. Contracts, invoicing and delivery are structured for US clients.
