# Startera.ai (Startera)

> Fixed-price, AI-augmented software engineering studio that turns AI-generated prototypes (v0, Bolt.new, Lovable, Replit) into scalable, production-grade web applications.

Last updated: 2026-08-26

Startera.ai bridges the gap between rapid AI prototyping and commercial production engineering. Senior engineers, working AI-native, refactor, secure and scale AI-built MVPs on a modern stack (TypeScript, React, Cloudflare Workers, Node.js, PostgreSQL/Supabase, Zod). Engagements are fixed-price, fixed-scope tiers running 2 to 12 weeks with no hourly billing. Unlike generalist dev agencies, Startera specializes exclusively in post-prototype hardening — we don't build MVPs from scratch, we make AI-generated ones production-ready.

## Engagements

- [Home](https://startera.ai/): Positioning, delivery process, and what post-prototype hardening covers.
- [Engagements](https://startera.ai/engagements): All four fixed-price tiers — Ignite ($8,000, validate one AI opportunity), Evolve ($20,000, build one business workflow), Launch (from $35,000, deploy to production), Scale (custom, build your AI platform) — with timelines, deliverables and an outcome comparison matrix.


## Case Studies

- [Case Studies](https://startera.ai/case-studies): All published project postmortems.
- [Real-time fraud detection](https://startera.ai/case-studies/real-time-fraud-detection): Hybrid model and rules engine in the live transaction pipeline — fraud losses down 15%, false positives down 10%.
- [Fast credit-risk scoring](https://startera.ai/case-studies/credit-risk-scoring): Automated intake and bureau/open-banking scoring — decisions cut from days to minutes, manual review down 90%.
- [Healthcare scheduling system](https://startera.ai/case-studies/healthcare-scheduling): Consolidated calendars, reminders and real-time waitlist backfill — no-shows down 30%, admin time down 80%.
- [AI calendar agent](https://startera.ai/case-studies/ai-calendar-agent): Scoped, fully audited calendar and inbox agent booking meetings end-to-end with no human in the loop.
- [DOTIS white-label SaaS](https://startera.ai/case-studies/white-label-saas): Internal operations platform turned configurable multi-tenant product, production-ready MVP in 1-3 months.
