FAQs

Hydra is an agency and platform specializing in helping vibe coders finish their projects. We've helped hundreds of small businesses, hobbyists, and even professional software developers finish what they started.

As vibe coders ourselves, we understand the difference between prototypes and production ready software. Using this knowledge, we can better specify what tasks someone can do themselves, and what tasks a professional is best for doing, meaning you get exactly what you need when you need it.

We start with a consultation to assess mutual fit. If we find a potential partnership productive, we match our clients with a skilled developer and stay in the loop throughout the engagement. Client satisfaction is our number one priority.

We send you a NDA directly after payment. You receive 100% ownership of all custom code written for your project. We also provide documentation and help you with offboarding.

We use industry-standard encryption and secure protocols to protect your data. We also provide documentation and help you with offboarding.

We don't do full design. Come with a prototype so we finish the last 10% of your project. Both founders are experienced business people, we're happy talking about it but it's no included.
