Fast Five Products
we build and operate complete software products
from new idea to operating product in about five sprint-weeks — native iOS + Android, and the web, with the data-intensive cloud backends they share. one team, one architecture, one point of responsibility.
why Fast Five Products?
Fast Five Products was founded after decades of building software systems at enterprise scale — much of that time building with, and inside, startups. today we apply that experience to founder-led companies and emerging products. we build software designed to be owned, operated, and evolved for years — not just demonstrated.
how we build
native mobile, both platforms
Swift/SwiftUI on iOS, Kotlin/Compose on Android — built from a shared, proven template with a test suite, not from a blank project.
backends that carry the complexity
Firebase Authentication and App Check, Data Connect (relational Postgres), Firestore, cloud functions. full user-account management is a base-build given, not a line item.
web apps, same backend
TypeScript + React on Firebase Hosting, built from a shared web template with a test suite. the web app reads the same backend as the mobile apps — same data, same moment — and takes the shape the web calls for: a full peer of the apps, or a variant surface, as the product wants.
the method
template-driven, procedural, AI-driven. AI scales Pete's knowledge and effort — a team that happens to be AI. client builds never start from bare prompts.
