About Tanooki Labs
We're a team of senior developers, designers, and product leaders who love building great software. Based in the US, we partner with startups and established businesses to bring their ideas to life.
Our Story
Tanooki Labs was founded with a simple belief: great software is built by senior developers who care about the outcome, not just the code.
For over 12 years, we've been helping founders and businesses build products that matter. We've seen the industry shift toward offshore teams, junior developers, and assembly-line development. We went the opposite direction.
Every developer on our team is senior-level with 8+ years of experience. We're based in the United States, work during your time zone, and communicate clearly. We don't hand your project off to a different team every sprint - you work with the same people from discovery through launch.
We're not the cheapest option, and we don't try to be. We're the team you call when the project matters, when quality counts, and when you need people who think beyond the code.
Our Values
What guides how we work
Quality Over Speed
We build it right the first time. Fast doesn't matter if you have to rebuild it in six months.
Partnership, Not Outsourcing
We're invested in your success. Your goals become our goals. We celebrate your wins.
Think Beyond the Code
We question requirements, suggest improvements, and help you avoid costly mistakes.
What Makes Us Different
100% Onshore, Senior Team
Every developer has 8+ years of experience. No juniors, no offshore teams, no bait-and-switch. The people you meet are the people who build your product.
AI-Enabled Development
We leverage AI tools to accelerate development without sacrificing quality. Our developers are 2-3x more productive while maintaining high standards.
Product-Focused Approach
We don't just write code to spec. We help you figure out what to build, why to build it, and how to validate it with real users.
