Founders Network is a software engineering studio in Nepal. Companies come to us when the thing they need cannot be bought: the platform a business runs on, the portal its customers log into, the data underneath it, and increasingly the AI on top.
Almost nothing we are asked for stays inside one speciality. A portal needs data behind it, the data needs somewhere to run, and all of it has to survive being deployed. We do the whole thing, so none of it gets handed over halfway.
Off-the-shelf software makes you work the way it was designed. Sometimes that is fine. When it is not, we build the thing that matches how your business actually runs, including the parts that are odd because your business is.
Web applicationsInternal toolsIntegrationsAPIs
Anywhere your customers, partners or staff log in and expect it to work. Most of the effort goes into the unglamorous half: who is allowed to see what, what happens on a bad connection, and whether somebody can finish the task without being trained first.
Marketing sitesCustomer portalsDashboardsDesign systems
Two reports, two different revenue figures, and a quiet argument about which one is right. We trace where the numbers come from, connect the systems properly, and leave you with one version nobody feels the need to double-check.

Plenty of AI demos work once. We build the version you can put in front of a customer: a way to measure whether the answers are right, and a way to notice when they stop being right.

Getting a change from somebody's laptop into production without anybody holding their breath. We set up the CI/CD pipeline, the cloud accounts and the monitoring, so releases become routine and you hear about a problem before your customers do.

A project that stalled. A system whose authors have all left. An upgrade postponed three times. We read what is there, work out what is actually wrong, and finish it. It is a good part of what we do.

We will not promise it will be cheap. We do promise you will always know where you stand.
You will hear it before we have an answer.
If the plan is wrong you find out in week one rather than in the post-mortem. It is the least comfortable conversation of any project and the one that saves the most money.
One team owns all of it.
Software, data, infrastructure and the awkward parts in between. Nothing gets handed to a second supplier, so nobody gets to blame the other one.
You could take it elsewhere tomorrow.
Documentation, training, monitoring and access from the start. Staying with us should be something you choose, not something you are stuck with.
No long tender, no discovery deck, no surprises at the end. You can stop after any of these four steps.
A short paid discovery period. We read what exists, talk to the people using it, and find out what is really going on before anyone promises anything.
A written plan in plain language, a fixed estimate, and the risks we can see. It is yours to keep even if you decide to take it somewhere else.
Working software every two weeks, running somewhere you can click on it. No big reveal at the end, and no obligation to continue.
Documentation, training, monitoring, and every key and account in your name. Your team should be able to run it without us in the room.
“I hired them to make the overnight job faster. They spent the first week on the orders table instead, which I had not asked for. The six o'clock calls stopped about two months later.”
Operations
Freight company
“They put a rough version in front of us in week two. The customer search was wrong. We fixed that before anyone wrote the rest. I have paid for the other order of events before.”
Product
Tools company
“We moved the books on a Thursday so Friday was spare if it went wrong. A few old invoices needed another look. They had already written those down. I had kept the weekend free and did not use it.”
Finance
Payments company
“A new person joined last month. I pointed them at the note about why we left the old tax table alone. I did not have to explain it.”

A paragraph is plenty. An engineer reads every message and replies, including the projects we turn down, with a reason and, where we can, the name of someone better suited.
