Building SOFTware is HARD.
Software is, by nature, fundamentally different from things that you can build, like a house.
Once we build a house, changing it becomes extremely difficult, if not impossible. We better get the requirements right before we start.
Software is more like a living thing. The requirements will change over time – and the development approach needs to acknowledge that.
That’s why we like to compare software to plants.
Instead of trying to build software, we cultivate software.
“I would hire David as CTO if I didn’t know he was running cultivate already.”
– Patrick Hartwig / Founder & CEO at Treatmind GmbH
We don’t build; we cultivate.
What distinguishes us from other software engineers is the development practices we choose.
Early & Continuous Feedback
Delivering software in weekly increments allows our clients to take it to the end-users, collect feedback, and react to changing requirements before it’s too late.
Value Prioritization & Emergent Design
Focusing on the most complex aspects and critical features first ensures our clients have something useful—even if time or budget runs low towards the end of the project.
Test Automation & Continuous Delivery
Automating repetitive tasks like testing and deployment keeps the costs low, so our clients can avoid paying more and more while getting less and less as the software’s complexity grows.
Continuous Refactoring & Test-first Programming
Cleaning up the code and keeping it maintainable long-term is built right into our development process – it is not an afterthought. This avoids having to rewrite the software after a couple of years.
“I highly recommend working with cultivate – they are a talented and dedicated team that will elevate any project they’re a part of.”
– Hichame Yessou / Product Lead at Tesla – Gigafactory Berlin
