AI-Native Launch Studio — For Founders

yRAK

Your idea. Live in 30 days.

Not an MVP. Not a mockup. A real product, ready for paying customers. You've got the idea. You don't have the time, the team, or the code to build it. yRAK takes it from concept to a live, working product — designed, built, and deployed by a senior-led team using AI-native tooling. No bloated agency process. No six-month roadmaps. No hand-off to a junior team.

What you get

Everything it takes
to go from idea to live.

No scoping documents, no phased statements of work. Senior leadership, one sprint, one outcome: your product, live, and ready for real customers.

Product & Brand Definition

We turn your idea into a clear product spec and a brand that looks credible from day one — name, identity, and positioning, nailed down in the first days of the sprint.

Positioning Brand Identity Scope Lock

UX/UI Design

Every screen designed before a line of code is written, so the build moves fast because there's nothing left to decide mid-sprint.

UI Design User Flows AI-Assisted Design

Full-Stack Build

The real product — not a prototype — built using AI-native development tools that let a senior-led team move at a pace much larger teams can't match.

Payments & Commerce

Stripe, subscriptions, checkout — wired in from day one so your product is revenue-ready the moment it's live.

Stripe Subscriptions Checkout

Testing & Launch

QA, deployment, domain, monitoring. Genuinely live — not a demo link you're afraid to share.

QA Deployment Domain & Hosting

Founder Hand-Off

Documentation, analytics, and a growth plan so you can run and grow what's been built — you own it outright.

Analytics Documentation Growth Plan

Is this you?

Built for founders
who are ready to move.

This isn't for everyone. It works best when these are true.

The Idea

You have a real idea

Not a vague direction — a specific problem you know how to solve for a specific customer.

Validated or validating

The Gap

You can't build it yourself

You're not a developer, and hiring or managing a team would take months you don't have.

Non-technical founders

The Urgency

You want it live, not planned

You'd rather launch in weeks and learn from real users than spend months on a roadmap.

Speed over ceremony

The Commitment

You're ready to decide fast

A 30-day sprint only works if you can make calls quickly when asked — this is a sprint, not a slow-drip retainer.

Fast decisions required

yRAK Venture Lab

Not sure it's ready?
Test it in the Lab.

Before you commit to a build, submit your idea in confidence. Get a VC-style evaluation, improve it with evidence, and meet the right people to take it further. Free for founders.

Step 1

Submit in confidence

Upload a short write-up. Only you, the yRAK team and partners invited to your idea can see it.

Private by design

Step 2

Get a VC-style evaluation

A nine-point scorecard with evidence, a red-team challenge and an investment memo.

Evidence, not opinion

Step 3

Improve and resubmit

See exactly what would raise your score, revise your idea, and go again.

Iterate on evidence

Step 4

Find the right people

Strong ideas can be discussed with partners who can help develop them.

The 30-day sprint

Four weeks.
One live product.

Every sprint follows the same disciplined timeline — because ambiguity is what kills momentum, not lack of code.

Week 1 Define

We lock the idea, the brand, and the exact scope of what's being built. No scope creep once the sprint starts.

Week 2 Design & Build Core

Every screen designed, and the core product built in parallel using AI-native tooling — the real thing, not a wireframe.

Week 3 Build Out & Integrate

Payments, auth, the full feature set. By the end of week three it's a working product, not a demo.

Week 4 Test & Launch

QA, deployment, and go-live. You end the sprint with paying customers able to use it — not a roadmap for later.

Why this works

Speed without
the usual trade-offs.

Agencies are slow because they're built for scale, not speed. No-code tools are fast but shallow, and you outgrow them fast. yRAK exists in between — AI-native speed with senior-led judgment.

⏳

The Old Way

Agencies & Freelancers

Three-to-six month timelines. Account managers relaying your feedback to a developer you've never spoken to. Change requests that cost extra. By the time it ships, the market's moved on.

⚡

The yRAK Way

Senior-Led, AI-Native

Direct access to the people building your product, every day. AI-native tooling compresses months into weeks. Senior leadership accountable for the outcome — not layers of account managers relaying messages.

Who you're working with

Senior people
on every sprint.

No bait and switch. No junior team deployed after the pitch. When you work with yRAK, you work directly with Asim and Nauman — senior leaders with 45+ years of combined delivery experience, not people briefed on it.

Asim Rahman

Founder & Builder — yRAK

20+ years delivering large-scale technology programmes across financial services, retail, publishing, and the public sector. Roles spanning programme director, chief of staff, data platform lead, and interim CDO — always at the point where strategy meets delivery.

Deep experience across UK enterprise: Goldman Sachs, Barclays, Asda, Elsevier. One of the original developers on Practical Law — giving Asim a rare mix of enterprise engineering rigor and hands-on delivery speed.

That same operator instinct now goes into building founders' ideas directly — The Scent Trader, Mudir, ScentDB, and Cisele Clothing were all designed, built, and launched personally, using the same AI-native approach every yRAK sprint runs on.

Nauman Mir

Partner & CTO — yRAK

25+ years designing, building and modernising complex technology platforms — much of it across investment banking and asset management, spanning software engineering, solution architecture, platform strategy and large-scale technology transformation.

Deep expertise in cloud architecture, distributed systems, data platforms and enterprise integration — and, increasingly, applied and generative AI. Nauman pairs that depth with a hands-on focus on turning ideas into practical products, without over-engineering the first version.

At yRAK, he leads technology strategy, AI-enabled products, solution architecture and rapid product development — helping founders decide what to build, how to build it, and how to get it in front of real customers fast. His approach: build enough to test the idea, learn from the market, and iterate from evidence rather than assumptions.
