Kickgeist
Kickgeist is a social prediction game for the 2026 World Cup. It runs on iOS, Android and web, localised, with an MCP server for agents. Beevelop built it and operated it through the tournament.
You no longer hire for skill. You orchestrate it.
Beevelop is a factory for building products.
A factory is the setup that produces products, not the product itself. Concretely, that is the repository layout, the CI gates, the agent pipeline, the test suites and the deployment path. It runs in your infrastructure, under your accounts, against your own cloud bill. Beevelop builds the first product through it, end to end. That can be an entire product, a subproduct, or an extension to something already live. It goes to production and takes real load; a proof of concept would not.

This is Maik's record, from before Beevelop became the full-time job.
Neohelden, where Maik was founder and CTO, sold its core technology and brand to msg systems AG.

Beevelop sells one thing.
Beevelop runs as your product factory for three months, extendable to six. The period is fixed at the start; it does not quietly become a retainer. Architecture, technical diligence and advice are things the factory does, not separate purchases. Work happens in your repositories, under your review process, on your release schedule. Two things are handed over: the running system, and the documented way of working that produced it. Both stay when the engagement ends. The factory stays with you.
Beevelop refuses two things.
There is no staff augmentation, ever; Beevelop is never a head to be rented. There is no fixed-scope waterfall; the scope of a first product is not knowable in advance.
The real hurdles are internal.
Hiring is the first one: three to six months of notice periods before anyone starts. Consensus is the second, and it binds leadership too. A CTO who knows exactly what to do still waits on both. A factory brought in from outside removes the first. It does not remove the second, and letting an outside party into your repositories and accounts makes it larger.
One address, no form.
There is no form; the address is maik@beevelop.com. It reaches Maik directly. Say what you are building, and what is in the way.
Two products, one shipped.
Both were built through the setup described above.
A planning surface.
It is for people whose year does not fit a calendar. The name comes at launch. Months are columns and days are rows; the whole year is one matrix. It is pre-launch: ~6,550 Flutter tests and ~930 Deno tests are green on every commit.
