We build and back
Ventures
21dropstreet is a boutique investment & development studio. We put senior dev pods inside your product team. And we invest in, mentor and raise money with the founders we believe in.
Clients and portfolio companies
What we
do
We build software and we invest in companies. Some founders need a team to ship the product. Others need money, advice or introductions to investors. Many need both.
Dev pods
A small senior team works inside your company and ships your product. You get product, design and engineering in one team. One lead is responsible for delivery.
- Web, mobile, AI and platform work
- Start in two weeks, scale up or down per month
- Works in your repo and your sprints
Startup investment
We take stakes in early companies where we can add more than money: product, engineering and go-to-market help from people who build for a living.
- Pre-seed and seed
- Cash, build capacity, or a mix of both
- We keep helping after the deal closes
Mentoring
We meet one-to-one with founders and their teams. We help with hard decisions: what to build next, who to hire and how to set prices.
- Product and technical strategy
- Team set-up and hiring
- Regular sessions or ad hoc
Fundraising
We get you ready for investors and help you run the round. You get a clear pitch, a complete data room and introductions to the right investors.
- Pitch deck, model and data room
- Investor lists and warm introductions
- Support through term sheet and close
We build products first. When we invest, our engineers and designers help you build.
A small studio with senior people and long-term partners.
Our clients include a pharmacy chain in Pakistan, the Dutch Chamber of Commerce, apparel marketplaces and an ERP company. In every sector we use the same method. We find the real problem, ship the smallest product that solves it, and then grow it.

Dev pods for
your product
A pod is a fixed team of senior people with one lead. You pay one price per month and the team ships every sprint. You can change the team size each month.
Launch pod
Takes an idea to a first live product. Founders use it to test with real users quickly.
- Lead engineer + full-stack engineer
- Product designer part-time
- MVP live in 6–10 weeks
Product pod
A team that owns a product area inside your company and ships every week.
- Tech lead + 2–3 engineers
- Design and QA included
- Works in your tools and sprints
AI pod
Put AI into the product you already have: agents, search, automation, data pipelines.
- AI engineer + platform engineer
- Evaluation and cost control built in
- Hand-over to your team when done
Intro call
30 minutes. We learn the goal, the team and the timeline.
Pod plan
Within a week you get a team, a scope and a monthly price.
Ship
The pod starts in about two weeks and demos every sprint.
