A studio for
the particular.
We take on a handful of projects at a time. The work requires us to understand your business, and understanding takes focus.
Founding Partners
We’ve made these bets ourselves.
Matt Coffman
Partner
Product builder at Salesforce, then scaling enterprise tech at High Alpha. The person who bridges the gap between the business strategy and the codebase, building at AI speed.
Caitlin Coffman
Partner
CFO for Indiana’s Department of Homeland Security, then CEO of MomentPath through acquisition. The person in the room who already did the math you’re about to start.
Lee Eisenbarth
Partner
Has led design or product through four acquisitions, with work spanning the Fortune 500 to the U.S. Marine Corps. Builds brand and product as one thing, because to him they were never two.
What we do
One team. The whole problem.
Strategy, design, and engineering that move together. Not as departments. As one thing.
The Coherence Pass
Rescue for AI-built products. One fixed-scope pass across the code, the design system, the voice, and the roadmap, so the thing you vibe-coded becomes something you can charge for.

Product Strategy
What to build, in what order, and why. Before anyone opens an editor.

Brand Systems
Brand strategy and brand systems: name, voice, visual identity, and messaging that hold together everywhere. Not a logo and a PDF nobody opens.

Product Engineering
From napkin sketch to working software. Architecture, design, and engineering handled as one unit. The result ships, scales, and lasts.
What this covers
Websites and Platforms
Built from scratch or from your Figma files, connected to whatever CMS your team uses. One team designs and builds it. No handoff gap.

AI and Automation
AI that solves a real problem in your product. Not a chatbot stapled to the corner of your app.

FAQ
Common questions
The things people usually ask before signing anything.
You should try. Seriously. AI makes output cheap (not free, those credits add up). But output isn’t a product. At some point someone has to decide which of the infinite options is actually right, and that’s a different skill than generating them. MaxQ has taken ideas from napkin to acquisition. That pattern recognition, knowing what matters at each stage, is what you’re hiring. AI is part of how MaxQ works. The judgment is why.
MaxQ runs every engagement in four moves: audit, strategy, build, handoff. You get clear scope and pricing before MaxQ writes a line of code, weekly updates throughout, and everything at the end: code, assets, documentation.
MaxQ works with founders and product leads at companies between 2 and 200 people. The sweet spot is teams with momentum that need coherence.
MaxQ projects run two to twelve weeks. MaxQ scopes the timeline honestly before starting.
MaxQ engagements start at $5,000 for a focused sprint. Most land between $15K and $40K. Everything is scoped to a deliverable, not billed by the hour.
MaxQ works in your tools, your cadence, your channels. MaxQ plugs in; it does not reorganize.
MaxQ improves an existing product when the foundation is solid. When it is not, MaxQ says so and scopes a path forward.
