From video rental software to products in 19 countries

Gunars Grundstoks

At 13, I wrote my first program and sold it to a local video rental shop. That was 1995, and the joy of building something useful for people has stayed with me ever since.

In 2003, I founded IT House in Riga, Latvia. Early on, I knew I wanted to work globally. What started as small web projects grew into a product development team working with companies 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 space, home to 500+ startups) and co-organizing TechChill (formerly TechCrunch Baltics) and Garage48 hackathons.

Today I'm still directly involved in our projects: I review pull requests, join project kickoffs, and take on the hardest technical parts. AI is something I've followed for years, long before it reached everyday tools. That's how I know what's hard and what's possible. When I'm involved from day one, fewer things fall through the cracks.

How we work

Here's what our experience means in practice.

01

Senior people on every project

The developers you meet are the ones who build your product. We keep teams senior, so what we know about your project carries over when work passes from one person to another.

02

We think like product owners

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 where it helps your customers

We look at your product and find where AI or automation saves your customers time or your team manual work, and build it in. Our developers use AI tools too, so they get more done in less time.

05

We stay with you after launch

You get documentation and monitoring setup. 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.
