You've seen how we work from the inside. This is the full picture: what Epifront is, how the model works, and why we think the next chapter is in the US, with you.
Epifront is a product studio. Not an agency that bills hours, not a dev shop that ships code and disappears. One senior team that takes an idea and carries it all the way: strategy, design, engineering, infrastructure, and the judgment calls in between.
Clients don't hire us to write software. They hire us so they never have to become a tech company. They keep running the business they know, and the product side simply works.
That's the category. Productized subscriptions transformed design years ago. Nobody owns that position for complete product delivery yet. We intend to.
To build product in-house, a US company needs at minimum three senior hires. Conservative numbers, before equity, recruiting fees or management overhead:
| Senior product engineersalary plus benefits and payroll costs | ~$230,000 / yr |
| Senior product designersalary plus benefits and payroll costs | ~$180,000 / yr |
| Product managersalary plus benefits and payroll costs | ~$190,000 / yr |
| Three hires, plus months of recruiting | ~$600,000 / yr |
| Epifront subscription | $150,000 / yr |
A quarter of the cost, no recruiting risk, no management overhead, and it starts next Monday instead of next quarter. In the US market this math is not a discount pitch, it's the whole argument.
Client work is one leg of the company. The other is our own products, funded by studio revenue. All three below are built and running, not slideware. They matter here for two reasons: they show what the delivery machine produces when it works for itself, and each one is an asset with its own upside.
The marketing OS for small business, run by an AI senior marketer.
Every small business generates marketing signal across a dozen walled gardens: GA4, Google Ads, Meta, Search Console, CRM, inboxes, phone calls. Nobody reads it. Owners make expensive decisions on wrong beliefs, and agencies burn 8 to 12 hours a week stitching it into client reports. The human alternative, a senior marketer watching everything, costs €5,000 to €15,000 a month. Most businesses simply go without.
Relay connects to all of it and reads it every day. It explains what's happening in a weekly brief written in plain prose, in the firm's own voice and white-labelable for agency clients. It drafts the replies, follow-ups and content ready to send. It watches daily, so a broken pixel is caught on day one, not day twenty. And it steers a living 90-day plan that rewrites itself based on what actually happened. Competitors aggregate and template; Relay synthesizes across sources and carries memory, so the week-8 brief references week-5's prediction.
AI-native interactive fiction. A world that remembers you.
Open the app and you don't land in a chat list. You arrive in Lumera, a hand-crafted Mediterranean seafront town you walk with your thumb, inhabited by five characters with their own histories, bonds and secrets. They remember what you told them weeks ago, write you letters between sessions, and notice when you return. The AI-companion market is huge and hollow: infinite chat, no world, no craft. Spotic is positioned as entertainment, a singular authored place, and that is the moat. Competitors can copy a feature. They can't copy a place people love.
Live on mobile now, with an owned art pipeline that can produce a new city per quarter. Everyone else built a chatbot. We built somewhere to go.
Dating and chat platform for the Nordic and DACH markets.
Live in seven markets, built around a coin economy: users buy coins, and every interaction, from messages to media unlocks, is a micro-transaction with multiple spend triggers per session. Real-time chat and matching, an AI-assisted engagement layer that keeps conversations flowing, frictionless card payments, and a multi-level affiliate system so acquisition scales through partners rather than ad spend. Recently passed a multi-layer security and performance audit covering payment integrity, data privacy and access control.
Each of these is a conversation of its own. If one deserves a closer look, we're open to that.
The US is the natural home for this model. It has the deepest pool of exactly our client: profitable businesses and domain experts with capital who need serious product but have no interest in building a tech company. And it prices product work at a level where our economics get very interesting.
What we can't do from Europe is be in the room. That's the half of the company that doesn't exist yet, and it's the half we're asking you to consider building.
Strategy, design, engineering, infrastructure, delivery. Everything a client is promised, we build and we stand behind. The machine that already works.
Relationships, sales, presence. Finding the businesses that need this, opening the doors, being the trusted American face of the company.
We're not looking for a commission arrangement. We're proposing shared ownership of the US business and profit shared accordingly. The exact structure is something we design together, face to face, once we agree the direction is right.
Why you: you've been on the client side of this exact model. You know what it feels like when it's done right, and you can say so to a prospect with a credibility no founder pitching his own company will ever have.
No decision needed from this page. If the direction interests you, we get on a call, talk through the model and the numbers openly, and see if the partnership makes sense for both of us. If it does, we structure it properly and start with a handful of US clients before anything else.
