01 The founder

Nikola Radošević, founder of Catapult

Principal engineer · Belgrade

Nikola Radošević

Founder, Catapult

LinkedIn

Your product is built by a former CTO — not sold by a senior and handed to a junior team.

Fourteen years across two extremes of software: government-grade security systems where mistakes aren't an option, and startup products where speed decides everything. AI agents multiply the output — the judgment, architecture, and accountability stay with one person.

Tech lead

Podcast-studio booking platform — grown to hundreds of paying studios.

02 The record

Seven products. One builder. All real, most live.

Every entry has a full case study — the problem, the build, and what shipped.

03 The protocol

Three steps. One accountable founder.

01

Scope in writing.

Day 0 · free

Send the problem, users, and must-have workflow — the 60-second estimator gives you feasibility, stack, and a price band. Then you get a written scope and a fixed quote.

Try the estimator
02

Build in your accounts.

Day 1 → launch

Code lands in your GitHub from day one. Infrastructure and data stay under your ownership. Daily proof of progress — a link, not a status report.

03

Launch and hand off.

Handoff + warranty

Live URL, tests, setup docs, a recorded walkthrough, and post-launch support with a defect warranty. The clock starts once scope and access are confirmed.

04 The edge

Direct, not bureaucratic. Fast, not rushed.

I

Senior judgment. AI-native speed.

No project managers, no handoffs, no sales-to-delivery gap. The founder who scopes your product architects and ships it — with an AI-native delivery engine multiplying the output.

II

Gov-grade engineering habits.

A background in national security systems — ePassports, HSM-backed signatures — shows up in every build: tenant isolation, audit trails, review gates, and tested deploys. Even on a one-week MVP.

III

You own everything.

Code lands in your GitHub. Infrastructure and data stay in your accounts. Documentation and a recorded walkthrough on handoff — no lock-in, no dependency on Catapult to keep running.

05 The terms

Fixed price. Fixed timeline. No surprises.

Every engagement is a fixed quote, scoped to your product — from one-week MVPs to multi-week builds, plus audits and fractional-CTO work. Once scope is signed off the number is final: if the estimate runs over, Catapult absorbs the overrun. Full source in your GitHub, deployment, docs, and a recorded handoff are always included.

06 Questions

Asked before every launch.

Not seeing yours? Ask directly.

Yes — for a scoped MVP: a defined user type and the critical workflows around it, live in production at the end of the week. Complex products with multiple roles and deep integrations run 2–4 weeks. The free 60-second estimator tells you upfront which one your idea is. No surprises after we start.

07 The launch window is open

Your product, live this week.

No sales handoff — Nikola personally reviews every request and tells you whether it fits a one-week MVP or a bigger build. Fixed price, full source in your GitHub.
