Engineers & Designers
Most software agencies sell you time. We sell you outcomes.
You know the model. You hire an agency. They send a senior team to the pitch, then hand your project to juniors you've never met. Twelve weeks become six months. The budget doubles. And when it finally ships, nobody at the agency remembers how it works.
1Raft works differently. Every engagement is led by the same founders who've built 100+ products across healthcare, fintech, logistics, retail, and enterprise SaaS. We scope the work, commit to a fixed cost, and build in weeks - not quarters. If we can't help, we say so on the first call.

LinkedInLessons Earned
What 100+ projects taught us
Healthcare
HIPAA compliance is an architecture decision, not a post-launch audit. Build it in from day one, or rebuild at 3x the cost later.
Our chronic care platform monitors 12,000+ patients and cut ER visits by 34%.
Fintech
Fraud models degrade within 90 days without retraining pipelines. Ship the pipeline with the model, or ship twice.
One client saw false positive rates drop from 42% to 13%.
Logistics
Carrier APIs lie about response times. Build for the worst-performing carrier, not the spec sheet.
Our shipping platform saves clients $320K annually through intelligent carrier selection.
Loyalty
Migration is the hardest part. We migrated 300,000 live member accounts for Energia during peak billing season.
Zero downtime. Zero lost points. Redemptions up 47% within three months.
These aren't insights from research papers. They're lessons from shipping real products under real deadlines.
Convictions
What we believe
The people who sell should be the people who build.
No handoffs to a B-team after the sale. 1Raft's founders are on every architecture call, every sprint review, and every production launch.
Technology should solve problems, not create them.
We pick the right tool - AI agents, workflow automation, custom platforms - based on what the problem needs, not what's trending.
Speed comes from pattern recognition, not shortcuts.
12-week delivery isn't about cutting corners. It's about having solved similar problems 100+ times and knowing which decisions matter.
Honesty saves everyone time.
If AI isn't the right fit, we'll say so. If the timeline is unrealistic, we'll say so. We've turned away more projects than most studios accept.
Culture
How we build great products together
Document Everything
We write down our thoughts, assumptions, and ideas. Writing forces clarity, makes knowledge searchable, and ensures nothing gets lost.
Ask, Don't Assume
When in doubt, we ask. Clear communication prevents chaos and builds trust across our distributed team.
Meetings with Purpose
Every meeting has an agenda and essential participants only. We come prepared and leave with clear action items.
Own Your Outcomes
We take full responsibility for our work. When we commit, we deliver - no matter what it takes.
Deep Work, Async First
We protect focus time and work asynchronously. Great products need deep thinking, not constant interruptions.
Continuous Learning
We stay curious and embrace new technologies. Every project is an opportunity to grow and improve our craft.
