Why US teams work with us
Founder-led, not account-managed
You work with me directly from the first call, not through a sales layer.
A written plan first
Every project starts with a PRD, so scope and priorities are clear before you commit to the build.
Overlap on your mornings
Calls and demos happen at the start of your day, with progress waiting for you each morning.
Your code, your accounts
Code, cloud and app store accounts sit in your company’s name.
Working hours that overlap
India is 9.5 to 10.5 hours ahead of US Eastern Time, depending on daylight saving. Our evening, roughly 6 pm to 10 pm IST, meets your morning on the East Coast, which is when we hold calls and demos. For the West Coast we agree a fixed early-morning or late-evening slot. Work continues while you sleep, so feedback you give in the afternoon is usually acted on by your next morning.
Built for US rules and users
HIPAA for health products
If your app handles protected health information, we design for HIPAA safeguards: access control, audit logs, encryption and hosting with providers that sign a business associate agreement.
SOC 2 readiness
B2B buyers often ask for SOC 2. We build with the controls auditors look for, such as role-based access, change history and monitored infrastructure, so your audit is easier.
State privacy laws
California’s CCPA and similar state laws give users rights over their data. We build consent, data export and deletion into the product from the start.
Accessibility
We design to WCAG 2.1 AA so your product works for everyone and stands up to accessibility review.
Payments we integrate: Card payments and subscriptions through Stripe, Apple Pay and Google Pay in the apps, and ACH bank payments for B2B invoicing.
We design for these requirements and support your review; your legal and compliance advisers confirm what applies to your business.

Questions from US founders
Can an India-based team work well with a US startup?
Yes, if the working rhythm is set up deliberately. We agree a daily overlap window on your mornings, write decisions down the same day and demo working software at every milestone, so the time difference becomes an advantage rather than a delay.
Which US time zones do you cover?
Eastern Time overlaps most naturally with our evening. For Central, Mountain and Pacific clients we agree a fixed call slot early in your morning or late in your evening, and keep the rest of the communication written.
Can you sign an NDA and a US-style contract?
Yes. We sign an NDA before detailed discussions and agree the contract terms, milestones and ownership in writing before work starts.
Do you build HIPAA or SOC 2 ready products?
We build with the technical safeguards these frameworks require, such as access control, audit logging and encryption, and use hosting that supports them. Certification and legal sign-off stay with your compliance advisers.
How quickly can we see a first version?
At Creuto the first working version typically takes about 4 weeks, starting from a clear PRD. Larger products are built in milestones after that.
