A founder who still codes.

Gunars Grundstoks

I wrote my first program at 13 and sold it to a local video rental shop. A real product, for a real business, with real customers. That was 1995, and the feeling of building something people actually use hasn't changed since.

I founded IT House in 2003 in Riga, Latvia. I knew early on I wanted to work globally, not only locally. What started as small web projects grew into a product development team working with companies across 15+ countries, from early-stage startups to enterprises like Karnov Group, AppGyver, Ahlsell, and Betty Blocks.

Along the way, we built our own products. We took them through Startupbootcamp and Ignite 100, traveled to different countries to meet customers face to face, and dealt with the chicken-and-egg problem that every marketplace founder knows.

For over a decade, I also helped build Latvia's startup ecosystem: co-founding TechHub Riga (now Startup House, the country's first tech coworking, home to 500+ startups), co-organizing TechChill (formerly TechCrunch Baltics) and Garage48 hackathons.

I still write code. I review pull requests. I join project kickoffs. That's not nostalgia: it's how we stay honest about what's hard and what's possible. When a senior person is involved from day one, fewer things fall through the cracks.

How we work

We're a senior team, and we've been building web products since 2003. Here's what that means in practice.

01

Senior people on every project

No bait-and-switch. The developers you meet are the ones who build your product. We keep teams senior so nothing gets lost in handoffs.

02

We think like co-founders, not contractors

We flag problems early, give honest estimates, and tell you when something won't work. You'll always know where things stand.

03

We write code that lasts

Clean architecture, proper tests, readable code. We build things so that you (or any competent developer) can maintain them without us.

04

AI-powered, human-led

Our developers use AI tools every day: not as gimmicks, but to move faster. A senior developer with AI delivers what used to take two people. You get speed with consistency.

05

We don't disappear after launch

You get documentation, monitoring setup, and a 3-month code warranty. If something we built breaks: we fix it, no questions asked. Your code is yours and you can walk away anytime.

06

Long relationships over quick wins

Many of our clients have worked with us for 5, 8, even 12 years. We work to earn that kind of trust on every project, starting with the first one.

Our first-sprint guarantee

If after the first sprint you don't feel like we're the right partner, we stop and don't invoice for that sprint. No questions asked.

Plus: 3-month code warranty on everything we build. If something breaks after launch, we fix it at no cost.
