Fulcrum

Fulcrum is a Ukrainian product engineering company that builds MVPs, scales dedicated development teams, and modernizes legacy software. The firm emphasizes AI-augmented workflows—human developers lead, AI agents handle routine tasks—and claims this approach delivers features 2–3x faster than traditional outsourcing. They've shipped 50+ products and maintain a 4.9/5.0 rating on Clutch with 38+ verified reviews. MVP projects start at $20K with fixed pricing and a 4–10 week timeline. Dedicated teams begin at $12K/month.

Services and capabilities

Fulcrum offers three main service tracks. MVP Builder provides fixed-price product launches in four tiers ($20–85K), targeting pre-seed and seed startups. The 24/7 AI-Augmented Team is a dedicated staff model including engineers, a product owner, QA, and designer, starting at $12K/month. Legacy Modernization applies AI-first approaches to existing systems, claiming 40–50% timeline reductions.

A fourth offering, Agentic AI Systems, focuses on custom multi-agent architectures for production use. Across all services, Fulcrum bakes compliance into initial architecture: HIPAA, GDPR, and HL7 are embedded from day one rather than bolted on. They vet third-party software and maintain full documentation.

Design is central to their process. The site mentions 50+ component libraries and data-rich platforms as specialties. They conduct discovery phases (business analysis, idea validation, UX and tech research) before committing to builds. A typical engagement includes bi-weekly demos, real-time Jira visibility, and direct Slack access to team members. A dedicated Product Owner serves as the single point of contact.

Notable work

Specific projects demonstrate industry depth. Zuri is a HIPAA-compliant digital fertility clinic; Buff, an Israeli gaming platform, reached 9 million users and became the country's first gaming IPO. Bloss, an EdTech platform, grew 530% to 95,000+ users across 160 countries. FlipMD, a physician marketplace, raised $100K in seed funding and had 2,800 doctors registered. Mercedes-Benz Ukraine received a conversion-driven website and admin panel in under five months. Launch, an employment marketplace, has partnered with Proctor & Gamble, McKinsey & Company, and Proximus. Healthcare examples include NextStop (400% increase in daily active users, 2x growth in signups), myDX (mobile diagnostics app redesign), and Plannly Health (raised $2.4M pre-seed). Glo, an ecommerce platform, saw 400%+ revenue growth after UX research and redesign. Finpeace is a secure financial marketplace, and NewProImage is a publishing platform working with The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.

How they work

For dedicated teams, Fulcrum runs four-stage engagements. Stage 1 (1–2 weeks) covers codebase audit, AI workflow setup, and team onboarding. Stage 2 is ongoing: 2-week sprints where AI agents generate boilerplate code in parallel (6–8 concurrent streams) while human developers review, architect, and deploy. Stage 3 (2–4 weeks) involves QA, staging, and store submissions. Stage 4 is continuous iteration based on user feedback and performance data. MVP projects follow a similar rhythm: discovery, MVP development (4–10 weeks), product-market fit work with a full team (PM, BA, QA, design, engineering), and scaling. Pricing for MVPs is fixed; dedicated teams are monthly retainers. Response time is quoted as 1 business day for initial inquiries.
