[Who we are]
Burlingame companies partner with us for custom web applications built by senior engineers and accelerated by AI, delivered in weeks near the Avenue instead of the months a traditional build usually takes.

“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!”
Jenn Brooks · Founder & CEO @ Nurture
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]
For Burlingame clients we run an AI-enabled development process: AI-assisted architecture and planning, AI-accelerated frontend and backend implementation, and automated testing, all reviewed and directed by senior engineers at every stage.
We move from a scoped plan to a working prototype quickly and iterate with you in short, visible cycles instead of a long black-box development phase, which suits a business district where decision-makers expect regular, concrete updates.
Whether you're a corporate office building an internal tool or a retailer on the Avenue building a customer-facing platform, we deliver web applications engineered to perform well across browsers and devices, and built to scale as your business grows.
We build with modern frontend frameworks and a backend architecture matched to your traffic and data needs, then deploy to cloud infrastructure built for uptime, so the application holds up whether it's serving a quiet weekday morning or a full Saturday of Avenue foot traffic.
We stay available after launch to handle fixes, small enhancements, and scaling questions, so a Burlingame business has ongoing support rather than a one-time delivery that's left to run unattended.
[Deliverables]
Bespoke web applications for Burlingame businesses, built by senior engineers using AI-accelerated development to shorten the timeline without shortening the feature set. We handle the full lifecycle, from architecture to cloud deployment and post-launch support, as a single accountable team. Our engineers stay closely involved from planning through launch, ensuring Burlingame businesses get software that performs reliably under real, everyday use.
Enterprise web app integration for Burlingame's corporate offices connecting a new application to existing systems, data, and vendor tools. AI-enabled development speeds up implementation while our engineers keep ownership of security, performance, and long-term maintainability. AI accelerates the repetitive work here, but a senior engineer signs off on every decision, so Burlingame clients get a fully custom result, not a generic shortcut.
UI/UX design tuned to Burlingame Avenue's retail sensibility and the expectations of Peninsula business users. We use AI-assisted prototyping to get working screens in front of you fast, so design decisions get made early rather than after engineering time is already committed. This work is scoped and delivered as part of the same fractional product team handling your entire build, keeping design, engineering, and strategy aligned for Burlingame clients.
[FAQs]
A traditional agency bills largely for manual hours across design, development, and QA. Our AI-enabled process lets a small, senior team move through the same work faster, which is how we deliver comparable or better quality web applications for around $20,000 in about 6 weeks, versus roughly $200,000 and 6 months elsewhere. That combination of AI-accelerated speed and senior oversight is what makes this process work well for Burlingame clients, without asking anyone to compromise on the quality of the finished software.
Prototypes start at $6,000 and full MVPs at $15,000. Pricing depends on scope, but a typical custom web app build with our AI-enabled process runs around $20,000 all-in, compared to the roughly $200,000 a Peninsula agency using a fully manual process might quote for similar work. We find this approach works well for Burlingame clients specifically because it keeps cost and timeline predictable without asking anyone to compromise on the quality of the finished software.
We start with a discovery phase to nail down requirements, move into AI-assisted architecture and prototyping, then build in short iterative cycles with your feedback built in. Senior engineers review every stage, and continuous testing runs throughout, so most Burlingame projects complete in around 6 weeks. Every engagement includes a fractional product team covering design, engineering, and product management, so Burlingame clients aren't left coordinating multiple vendors to get a single project done.
Off-the-shelf platforms are fast to start but hard to differentiate on and often break down as your requirements grow. A custom web application, built efficiently with AI-enabled development, gives you full control over the experience and the flexibility to scale, at a cost now much closer to the off-the-shelf option. We're happy to walk any Burlingame business through exactly how AI fits into our process during an initial conversation, so there are no surprises once the build actually starts.
[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.
