Vibe Code Rescue
in Boston

Cursor or Claude Code shipped your MVP. We rebuild the engine without throwing the product away.

A founder ships an MVP in a weekend with Cursor or Claude Code. Six months later we get the email. Stripe is leaking, Supabase is wide open, four auth patterns coexist, every senior who looks at the codebase quits within a week. We rescue this kind of project weekly. The product won the customer. We don't throw the product away. We replace the engine in two weeks, keep the brand, keep the customers, hand back a codebase the next engineer can actually maintain.

How this works

One AI-native engineer.
The output of a team.

One senior engineer plus AI agents now ships vibe code rescue that used to need a four-person team. Same code quality, half the cost, three-week timelines instead of three months. Built for pre-seed to Series A founders in Boston who need to ship before the next round closes.

The local read

Why vibe code rescue is hard in Boston

Boston founders have access to the best deep-tech talent in the country and almost none of it is hireable at seed stage. Biotechs pay above market for ML engineers. Cambridge robotics shops pay close to that for ROS 2 specialists. The local agency option is mostly enterprise consulting with multi-quarter contracts.

We're not enterprise consulting. One senior engineer owns the build, Eastern Time, overlap with your MIT advisors and Boston-based investors. FHIR or HL7 for healthtech. PyTorch and Hugging Face for ML features. Next.js for the SaaS layer. Flat-price quote in 24 hours. Code in your GitHub from commit one.

Hiring one senior engineer here is a ~$290K year-one outlay and a 60–90 day search. Our vibe code rescue engagement starts at $1,000 with a first deploy in 14 days.

FAQ

Common questions about vibe code rescue
in Boston

How fast can you start the rescue?

We can clone and audit your repository today. Written 48-hour audit comes back inside two business days. Active rescue work usually starts within seven days of the audit.

Do you keep my existing code?

Mostly yes. Roughly 60 percent of the codebase stays — UI, brand, anything stateless. We rewrite 30 percent (auth, payments, multi-tenant boundaries, AI tool connections). We delete 10 percent (dead routes, ghost integrations).

Can I still use Cursor or Claude Code after the rescue?

Yes, and we leave the codebase set up for that. We add typed schemas, critical-path tests, and a CLAUDE.md that scopes the agent to safe areas. Most founders ship features twice as fast post-rescue because every change runs through CI.

What if my Stripe or Supabase keys are leaked?

We rotate every key inside the first 48 hours — Stripe, Supabase, OpenAI, anything we find. We assume old values are in someone's Docker cache or git history. Rotation is non-negotiable.

How much does a rescue cost?

Audits start at $1K (often free for warm leads). A focused rescue is $1K–$25K. The lower end covers small repos with a tight scope; the upper end is a full two-week engagement with two engineers. Flat-price quote after the audit.
