Built for founders who refuse to settle.

// WHERE WE WORK

Lviv & Austin

We build from two home bases: Lviv, Ukraine and Austin, Texas. Same standards, shared rituals, and daily overlap so founders always know who is on their build—whether you are in North America, Europe, or beyond.

Ukraine

Lviv

Product, design, and engineering squads anchored in Western Ukraine.

United States

Austin, Texas

US-facing strategy, partnerships, and founder collaboration.

// OUR STORY

We started because we lived the problem.

Verdant started in 2019 after years of watching non-technical founders struggle with the same pattern: hire an agency, get a half-working product, run out of runway trying to fix it.

We weren't building for Fortune 500s. We were building for founders who had a real idea and needed a team they could actually talk to — one that would tell them when something was a bad idea, not just bill more hours.

The model we landed on was simple: dedicated teams, not shared resources. One team, one client, no context-switching. Transparent communication every step of the way.

We're still a small company — 47 people across North America, Europe, LATAM. We're not trying to be the biggest. We're trying to be the agency you recommend to a friend without hesitation.
