Enterprise Agency Alternative
High-caliber development without the overhead, delays, and bureaucracy of large agencies. Hexmount is the boutique tiger team for organizations that need capability without process bloat.
Why Consider an Alternative?
Large enterprise agencies exist for a reason, but their scale introduces trade-offs. Here is when those trade-offs might not work for you.
Speed Matters to You
Enterprise agencies measure timelines in quarters. When your market window is weeks, not months, you need a team that moves at startup speed while maintaining quality.
You Want Direct Communication
No more playing telephone through account managers. Get direct access to the engineers and designers actually building your product. Questions answered in hours, not days.
Flexibility Is Essential
Startups pivot. Products evolve. When you need to change direction, you need a partner who adapts with you, not one who submits change orders and renegotiates contracts.
Every Dollar Counts
Enterprise agencies carry overhead for sales teams, office space, and management layers. A boutique team puts your investment into talent and delivery, not bureaucracy.
What You Get with Hexmount
The expertise and results you would expect from an enterprise agency, but with the speed and attention you can only get from a small, focused team.
A Tiger Team, Not a Department
A small, focused group of senior specialists who become an extension of your team. No junior developers learning on your project. No rotation of unfamiliar faces.
White-Glove Service
We work with a select few clients at a time. You get focused attention, not a ticket in a queue. When you need us, we are there, often across time zones.
Direct Access
Talk directly to the people building your product. No intermediaries, no translation errors, no delays. Your feedback reaches the team immediately.
Delivery That Beats Deadlines
Our clients consistently note early delivery. When enterprise agencies are still scheduling kickoff meetings, we are already shipping features.
Boutique vs Enterprise Agency
| Aspect | Enterprise Agency | Hexmount |
|---|---|---|
| Speed to Market | Months of discovery, planning, and governance | Start building within days, deliver early |
| Communication | Account managers, project managers, layers of approval | Direct access to the team building your product |
| Flexibility | Change orders, scope committees, budget renegotiations | Adaptive approach, pivot when the project needs it |
| Attention | One of many projects in a portfolio | Focused tiger team working with select clients |
| Cost Structure | Overhead for offices, middle management, sales teams | Lean operation, investment goes to talent and delivery |
| Problem Solving | Standardized frameworks and established playbooks | Creative solutions for problems that don't fit templates |
Enterprise-Level Track Record
We stay small by choice. Our portfolio includes projects as complex and high-stakes as any enterprise agency handles.
Built a Bitcoin exchange without native smart contracts. Enterprise-scale infrastructure for a product that reached $400M market cap.
Founding engineering team for a government-grade crypto asset recovery platform. National security requirements, delivered by a boutique team.
Developed trustless borrowing across incompatible blockchains. Complex financial infrastructure without enterprise timelines.
These are complex, high-stakes builds that large agencies normally handle. We delivered them faster, with direct communication, and without the bureaucratic overhead that bogs down traditional enterprise work.
When Enterprise Agencies Make Sense
We believe in honest assessments. A large enterprise agency might be the right choice if:
- You need to staff dozens of developers across multiple concurrent workstreams
- Your procurement process requires established vendor relationships and formal governance
- You prefer structured processes with defined escalation paths and formal reporting
- Timeline is less important than having a large, established partner on record
Ready for a Different Approach?
If you want enterprise capability without enterprise bureaucracy, we should talk. We are selective about who we work with because we can only deliver exceptional results when we stay focused. No sales pitch, just a conversation about your project.
Tell us about your project. We'll be honest about whether we're the right fit.
