About
A small studio in
Austin
building for the new AI world.
Prospensity is an LLC. We work directly with the people we build for — no account managers, no handoffs.
Founder
Hi, I'm Maanav.
I started Prospensity because the cost curve of software has bent in a way that hasn't fully landed with most teams yet. The work that used to take a quarter often takes a week. The projects that didn't make economic sense a year ago — internal tools, automations, custom apps — quietly do now.
I have been working on tech for 10+ years, doing complex coding, design and robotics. I have run moderate sized organizations before, and understand the challenges of managing and attracting customers. I have been using generative AI pretty much since it started, and have created many products and sites on it in hours that would traditionally take weeks to develop. I see the potential for AI to transform how we work, and have been at the forefront of taking advantage of that, rather than be scared of it.
I work with a small number of clients at a time, on purpose. If we're going to do good work together, I need to be in the details.
Where
Based in Austin. Working with teams everywhere.
Austin's a good city for this kind of studio. There's a generous bench of operators, founders, and engineers who've shipped real things — and a culture that's willing to try something new without needing a deck to justify it.
Most of our work happens remotely with clients across the country. Local clients are welcome — coffee in person is fine, but it's not a requirement for doing good work together.
How we engage
A few values worth saying out loud, since they shape every project.
01
Honest scope
We tell you what's in, what's out, and what's uncertain — before the contract, not after the third invoice. If we don't know how long something will take, we say so.
02
Small by design
We work with a handful of clients at a time. That's deliberate. It's how we keep the quality bar up and how we stay close to the work.
03
AI-first, not AI-only
AI is a tool — a very good one. We use it where it earns its keep. We don't use it for its own sake, and we won't sell you something you don't need.
04
Owning the result
We write the code, we own the bugs. We show up when something's broken. We don't disappear at handoff.
05
Plain talk
No jargon for jargon's sake. If we use a technical term, it's because the plain English version would be longer, not shorter.
06
Calm pace, fast pace
Fast iteration loops, but a steady working rhythm. We don't pull all-nighters and we don't ask anyone else to either.
