Vibe Code Rescue
in Miami

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 Miami who need to ship before the next round closes.

The local read

Why vibe code rescue is hard in Miami

Miami's pre-seed deal count passed LA and Boston in Q1 2026. The hiring market hasn't caught up. Local agencies are split between Web3 specialty shops billing hourly and general consultancies feeding logistics companies. Neither ships venture-grade product on a seed timeline.

We do. One named senior engineer, Eastern Time, builds on Solana, Base, or whatever stack your investor expects. Bilingual i18n by default for LatAm products. Bridge or Dinari for stablecoin rails. Flat-price quote in 24 hours after a discovery call. Code in your GitHub from commit one.

Miami's accelerator scene has real backing now — 500 Global runs an 8-week Growth Program here, and Endeavor Miami (backed by JPMorgan Chase) runs cohort-based programs for South Florida founders. Capital comes from Fuel Venture Capital (~$550M AUM across a $300M Flagship Fund II), Krillion Ventures and TheVentureCity. The numbers back up the hype: Miami-area startups raised $4.13B across 376 deals in 2025, up 49% from 2024, with fintech ($691M) and Web3 ($243M) both posting real volume in the first half alone. The clearest signal of where the city is headed: Palantir moved its global headquarters from Denver to Aventura, just north of Miami, in February 2026. That kind of anchor tenant pulls senior engineering talent with it — good for the ecosystem's long-term depth, but one more well-funded competitor bidding for the hires you need right now.

Miami's corporate anchor tenants got a lot more concrete in 2025-2026: Citadel and Citadel Securities broke ground on a $2.5B, 1.7-million-square-foot Brickell headquarters tower in March 2026, and both Amazon and Google expanded their Miami offices in the same window — Amazon to roughly 76,000 sq ft in Wynwood, Google to about 45,000 sq ft on Brickell Avenue, more than quadrupling its prior footprint. eMerge Americas acquired Miami AI Hub in mid-2025 and launched the Gold Coast Tech Accelerator two months later, running 8-week fintech and dual-use/defense tracks. The talent pipeline is catching up too — Miami Tech Works has graduated 15,000+ students into tech-adjacent roles since 2021 through apprenticeships with Miami Dade College, FIU and the University of Miami. That's real momentum, and also real competition for the same senior engineers you're trying to hire.

Miami's sector mix leans Crypto and Web3 and B2B SaaS — the kind of ground where vibe code rescue work shows up on our desk most often here.

Hiring one senior engineer here is a ~$270K year-one outlay and a 60–90 day search. Our vibe code rescue engagement starts at $500 with a first deploy in 14 days.

FAQ

Common questions about vibe code rescue
in Miami

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 $500 (often free for warm leads). A focused rescue is $500–$12.5K. 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.
