01
Senior and hands-on
The founders write the code and train the models. No account managers, no junior hand-offs, no telephone between you and the build.
About
We are the people who build it.
Merryweather is a small senior team of founders and an AI researcher, based in Sydney. We started the studio because the founders we know did not need a big agency. They needed builders who could turn a fresh round into real product, fast, without the layers in between.
How we are different
Seniority and direct founder access is the product.
A just-funded startup has a runway clock and a board to answer to. The last thing it needs is a delivery floor and a game of telephone. So we kept the team small and the people senior.
02
Speed without shortcuts
We move in weeks by scoping hard and building the spine first, not by shipping throwaway code you have to rewrite later.
03
You own everything
Clean, documented code in your repositories, with no lock-in. The prototype is yours to take in house the day we hand it over.
The team
A small senior team that builds the thing itself.
No hand-offs to a delivery floor. The people you meet are the people writing the code and training the models.
