[Who we are]
Berkeley's research-driven businesses need software built with real technical rigor. We deliver that through senior engineers paired with AI across the build, shipping production-ready systems in weeks instead of months.

“Other app developer quoted 10X the price to create a live testable version. DreamLabs pricing structure has meant we can quickly get the app in users hands and see what they think!”

As a fractional product team, we start by defining your vision and sharpening your strategy. We don’t just say “yes,” but always ask “why?”, helping your dev budget go further and faster.
We use AI-accelerated development to help teams of all sizes launch custom, scale-ready digital products. Ship in days/weeks, not months/years.
User testing is a bonus service we offer to all clients for free. This means we learn together from real users with each release.
[What We Do]
Our process for Berkeley clients pairs AI-assisted architecture, implementation, and testing with direct senior engineering oversight at every stage. That combination lets us deliver production-grade software on a timeline manual development alone can't match, without lowering the technical bar Berkeley companies expect.
We move from requirements to a working system quickly, then iterate in short, transparent cycles. Continuous integration and automated testing run throughout the build, so we catch issues early rather than at the end of a long development phase.
Many of the companies we work with in Berkeley are translating research or deep technical expertise into a commercial product, which means the underlying architecture, data handling, and integration work matter as much as anything visible on screen. We build for that expectation, using AI to accelerate the parts of development that benefit from it while keeping senior engineers accountable for the infrastructure decisions that determine whether a system scales gracefully or breaks under real load.
[Deliverables]
AI-accelerated, senior-engineered software for Berkeley founders and companies translating research or deep technical work into a commercial product. We combine AI-assisted development with experienced human engineering to ship a scalable, production-ready system from architecture through launch.
Systems integration for Berkeley organizations connecting new software to existing research infrastructure, databases, or commercial platforms. AI-enabled development speeds up implementation while our engineers keep close ownership of data integrity and long-term maintainability.
Backend systems and APIs engineered for the technical scrutiny Berkeley companies expect, not over-built and not fragile. Our engineers use AI to accelerate scaffolding and repetitive implementation, then focus on the architecture decisions and performance tuning that determine whether a system holds up.
[FAQs]
Most Berkeley builds take about 6 weeks with our AI-enabled process, compared to the roughly 6 months a traditional agency needs. AI-assisted scaffolding and testing let senior engineers move through the build substantially faster, while still reviewing and owning every line that ships.
Our published tiers anchor the range: prototypes start at $6,000 and full MVPs at $15,000. A typical build runs around $20,000 all-in with our AI-enabled process, compared to the roughly $200,000 many agencies charge for comparable work. AI reduces the manual hours required for scaffolding and testing, and we pass that efficiency directly to Berkeley clients.
AI accelerates implementation, but every piece of AI-generated code passes through senior engineering review before it ships. We run continuous integration and automated testing throughout the build, so the speed of AI-enabled development doesn't come at the expense of code quality or maintainability.
Yes. A number of our Berkeley clients need software that connects to research, academic, or lab-based systems alongside standard commercial infrastructure. We treat that integration work with the same engineering rigor we apply to anything user-facing, so the final system fits into the environment you already operate in.
[01] Product Strategy
We start by helping you define your long and short-term product visions. We then break down the concepts into concrete features and functions, so we can piece them back together into a prioritized roadmap.
[02] Development
With the framework pinned down, we go heads-down on execution. We leverage AI-powered tooling and a modern Flutter + Firebase stack to develop your product in record time.
[03] Polishing + Launch QA
Your finished product to ensure that each feature works seamlessly, every color is precise and all copy is ready for publication. We then manage the entire app publishing process on mobile, web or both.
