We help early-stage startups
fast-track their MVP.
The first months after you raise seed funding are crucial. You now need to execute fast. If you're not coming form a software engineering background -and sometimes even if you do- it means hiring a CTO and a development team. While this process can take months, your product is stalling.
That's when we can help.
Let's chat about your product, your current engineering organization, or your funding challenges. We've been there, and we love to share what we learned on the way.
We build and deploy your platform in weeks, not months
We can deploy our versatile and reliable platform in days, and immediately start building your first APIs and the related user-facing interfaces.
It's complete with all the required foundational features (the ones you don't want to spend time on), allowing you and your teams to jump into developing business-related features (the fun ones).

About Us
We’re a team of two, and we plan on staying small.
We’ve worked together in Reliably, which Sylvain co-founded, and of which Marc was the first employee. There, we built (several times) the Reliably SaaS product. Our last iteration was built quickly and offered a great developer experience when adding features. That's when we realised this platform might be our greatest product yet.
Sylvain
Back-end development and infrastructure
Before starting Blue Limes, Sylvain was a co-founder and CTO at Reliably. He has previously worked at a number of companies, both big and small, in various software engineering roles. He authored a book about Python development, and is the main developer and maintainer of the open source Chaos Toolkit.
Marc
Front-end development and design
Before creating Blue Limes, Marc was the front-end and UX lead at Reliably. He has previously worked as a UX designer, front-end developer and project manager, mostly in agencies.
