Word on the water

Founders say it best.

King Tide was exceptional to work with. They were always flexible with their engagement structures, had awesome devs ready to jump in and out of Inspired, and saved us from having to staff up too much internally while we were finding product-market fit.

Questions

Before you reach out.

How much does King Tide cost?

Brand identity projects are $3,500. Design team plans start at $3K a month. AI MVPs start at $4,999 for a fixed scope. All prices are in US dollars.

How long does a project take?

A brand identity takes four to eight weeks. An AI MVP goes from the first call to a live product in 30 to 60 days. A monthly design team is usually embedded and shipping within a week.

Do you work with companies outside the United States?

Yes. King Tide is headquartered in Los Angeles with a collective in Ciudad de México, and we work in English and Spanish.

Do you invest in the startups you work with?

Sometimes. We invest $25K to $100K in early-stage startups and trade discounted design and engineering for equity when the fit is right.

What happens after I get in touch?

A senior person replies within one business day. Then comes a 30 minute scope call, and within a week you get a fixed scope, a price and a date, or a monthly plan if that fits better.

Can we start with one service and add more later?

Yes. Most clients ride all three as they grow: brand first, a design team on tap, then the product.
