A nearshore team of senior engineers embedded in your product, founders included. We've kept our client list small since 2018, on purpose.

About Us
APICULA ® is a nearshore engineering team. We’ve kept it that way since 2018.
We embed senior engineers directly in your team, with founders involved in delivery, not just the sales call. Same people from scoping through launch and beyond.
FAQs
Quick answers to the questions we hear most before someone decides to work with us.
Who do you work with?
Small and mid-sized businesses that need senior engineering capacity without building a full team in-house. We keep our client list small enough that our founders stay involved in every engagement, so we can't work with everyone, and we're fine with that.
How is this different from typical outsourcing?
Most outsourcing firms sell you a pitch team, then staff the project with whoever's free. We keep our client list small enough that our founders and senior engineers stay involved from the first call through delivery.
How do you ensure the security and confidentiality of our data?
We sign an NDA before any technical discussion and apply encryption, access controls, and regular vulnerability checks appropriate to your industry, including GDPR- and HIPAA-sensitive work when required.
How much does it cost to develop custom software?
It depends on scope, but most of our engagements run in the $10k-100k range. We'd rather scope a project honestly on a call than quote a number before we understand what you actually need.
How many clients do you take on at once?
A small number by design, around 29 companies at any given point since 2018. That's what lets our founders stay personally involved instead of closing the deal and moving on.
