Helping non-technical founders find peace of mind

If you’re a non-technical founder, chances are you’ve been burned by flaky devs, vague timelines, or code that doesn’t match the prototypes. That’s exactly why we built a model designed for trust.

At Designli, we pair non-technical software founders with full-time, founder-aligned product teams. Software engineers, designers and product owners who don’t just speak code, they speak human. We guide you through every step with clarity, structure, and care.

    Our Story

    There are many developers who 'hang a shingle' and start building apps and web-apps as a service for others. However, if you've ever spoken with someone who has paid a company to build custom software, you'll know that there are more horror stories than successes. This is what makes Designli different. Not only do we build bug-free, polished software, but we also do it with a very clear mission: to make your experience along the way an enjoyable one.
