Question 1

What services does Founder's Point offer?

Accepted Answer

We offer two core services: workflow automation systems and custom mobile apps. Automation systems eliminate repetitive tasks like scheduling, invoicing, and data entry. Custom apps give your team and customers purpose-built mobile tools. We also help with rollout strategy — training your staff and managing the transition to new systems.

Question 2

What is workflow automation?

Accepted Answer

Workflow automation replaces manual, repetitive business tasks with software that handles them automatically. For example, instead of manually sending appointment reminders, an automated system sends them on schedule without anyone lifting a finger. We map your existing processes, identify where work gets stuck, and build systems that handle those steps for you.

Question 3

What kind of mobile apps do you build?

Accepted Answer

We build practical mobile apps for iOS and Android — tools that solve specific business problems rather than general-purpose software. Our portfolio includes devotional apps, fishing reference tools, a Google Sheets grocery shopping add-on, and more. For clients, we focus on apps that your team or customers will use daily.

Question 4

How much does a project cost?

Accepted Answer

Every project is different, so we do not publish fixed prices. What we can tell you: qualified builds start with $0 upfront, and ongoing work is billed month-to-month. We provide a clear cost estimate during the Discovery phase — before any build work begins — so you know exactly what to expect.

Question 5

What does '$0 upfront for qualified builds' mean?

Accepted Answer

For businesses that meet our engagement criteria, we start building without requiring a deposit or upfront payment. This lowers your risk and lets you see real progress before committing significant budget. During our initial conversation, we will let you know if your project qualifies.

Question 6

Do I have to sign a long-term contract?

Accepted Answer

No. Every engagement is month-to-month. You stay because the work delivers value, not because of a contract. You can pause or stop at any phase boundary, and your code and data are always yours.

Question 7

How is this different from hiring an agency?

Accepted Answer

Agencies typically assign rotating teams, require long contracts, and price for overhead you do not need. At Founder's Point, you work directly with a small, consistent team led by Matthew Hisscock. There are no account managers relaying your requests, no layers between you and the people building your software. You get Fortune 100 delivery discipline at a fraction of agency cost.

Question 8

Who will I be working with?

Accepted Answer

You will work directly with Matthew Hisscock, who leads every engagement. When a project needs specialized skills — advanced iOS development, data migration, API integrations — we bring in vetted specialists who operate under the same quality standards. Your team stays small and consistent.

Question 9

How long does a typical project take?

Accepted Answer

Most projects follow a four-phase process. Discovery takes one to two weeks. Planning the first version takes another one to two weeks. Build and launch typically runs four to eight weeks depending on scope. After that, we shift to monthly improvement cycles. The full timeline from first call to launch is usually six to twelve weeks.

Question 10

What does the Discovery phase include?

Accepted Answer

During Discovery, we map your existing workflows, identify where work gets stuck, define success metrics, and deliver a scope document with a timeline and cost estimate. If we determine the project is not a good fit, we will tell you — no sales pressure. Discovery gives you a clear plan before any build work starts.

Question 11

Can I see progress during the build?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We build in weekly cycles and demo working software every week. You give feedback, we incorporate it, and we move forward. You will never wait months to see whether the project is on track.

Question 12

What happens after launch?

Accepted Answer

After launch, we transition to the Improve Monthly phase. We meet regularly to review usage data, prioritize new features, and ship updates. Bug fixes and security patches are included. This phase is month-to-month — cancel anytime.

Question 13

What industries do you work with?

Accepted Answer

We specialize in owner-led small businesses. Our experience spans dry cleaners, auto shops, self-storage facilities, and schools and daycares. The common thread is businesses where the owner is the decision-maker and needs practical technology that works without a dedicated IT team.

Question 14

Do you work with businesses outside your listed industries?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The industries on our site represent areas where we have deep experience, but our automation and app development skills apply to any owner-led business with repetitive workflows or a need for custom mobile tools. If you are not sure whether we are a fit, reach out — we will give you an honest answer.

Question 15

Can I see examples of apps you have built?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our portfolio includes The Little Office (an iOS prayer app), HookSet (a bass fishing reference tool), Examen (a daily reflection app), 33 Day Consecration to Mary (a guided devotional app), and Grocery Shopper for Google Sheets. Each was designed, built, and launched by our team using the same process we bring to client work.

Question 16

Will I own the code and data?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your code and data are always yours. If you decide to stop working with us, we hand over everything — source code, databases, documentation. No lock-in, no hostage situations.

Question 17

What technology do you use?

Accepted Answer

We choose the technology that fits each project — there is no one-size-fits-all stack. For mobile apps, we typically build native iOS and Android applications. For automation, we work with a range of tools depending on your existing systems. During the Planning phase, we explain our technology choices and why they are right for your specific needs.

Question 18

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Send us a message through our contact form or email us at hello@thefounderspoint.com. Tell us a bit about your business and what you need help with. We will respond within one business day with next steps — usually a short call to learn more about your situation.

Question 19

What should I prepare before our first call?

Accepted Answer

Nothing formal. Just be ready to describe your business, the tasks that take the most time, and what an ideal outcome looks like. We will handle the rest — asking the right questions is our job.
