Silicon Prime · Los Angeles Founder-led / Palo Alto → LA

Software development company in Los Angeles.

A rare founder-led software development company serving Los Angeles — born out of Stanford in Palo Alto. We bring Silicon Valley startup expertise and production AI to LA enterprises: custom software, AI and generative AI, application modernization, APIs, and DevOps.

Shipped on a production cadence, governed for risk, and built to back your team rather than replace it — startup-grade engineering without the bureaucracy of a big consultancy or the churn of an offshore shop.

Why founder-led
 01 / What we build in LA

Custom software and AI,
built in LA.

Six disciplines for Los Angeles enterprises — from bespoke custom software to production AI, all shipped on a release cadence and owned by you.

Custom

Custom software development

Bespoke web and platform software built for Los Angeles enterprises — designed around your business, owned by you, and engineered to last past launch.

AI

AI & generative AI development

RAG applications, AI agents, and fine-tuned models shipped to production — explore our generative AI development work, governed and eval-driven from day one.

Augment

Staff augmentation

Senior, vetted engineers embedded in your team and timezone — see IT staff augmentation when you need capacity without permanent hiring.

Modernize

Application modernization

Legacy systems re-platformed and re-architected — our application modernization practice moves you off technical debt without stopping the business.

API

API & backend development

Robust services and integrations — our API and backend development builds the secure, scalable backbone the rest of your stack depends on.

DevOps

DevOps & cloud

CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and cloud operations — our DevOps and cloud practice gets you shipping safely at speed.

 02 / What's included

A production partner,
not a vendor.

Every Los Angeles engagement runs on the same end-to-end discipline. Here is what comes standard, whatever we build.

  • Discovery and scoping, with a costed plan and projected ROI
  • Clear requirements and the success metrics we'll be measured against
  • Senior engineers — local Los Angeles collaboration, on-site or remote
  • Production-grade delivery on a release cadence, not a slide deck
  • Responsible AI governance, guardrails, and human oversight where AI is involved
  • Code, infrastructure, and deliverables you own outright — no lock-in
  • Monitoring, ROI measurement, and drift detection after launch
  • Documentation and handover so your team can own and extend it
 03 / Founder-led, from Palo Alto to LA

Silicon Valley startup DNA,
now building in LA.

Born out of Stanford in Palo Alto, we bring startup-grade engineering to Los Angeles enterprises — the bar-setters stay on the work, from first scope to production.

Why · 01

Founder-led delivery

Not a sales layer over a junior bench — the founders and senior engineers who set the standard are the ones who deliver it. A partner who owns the outcome, not a vendor staffing a ticket queue.

Outcome The bar-setters are on the work — accountability, not hand-offs.
Why · 02

Built in Palo Alto, brought to LA

We grew up where frontier technology and fast, disciplined product development are the norm — and we bring that same Valley speed and product instinct to the enterprises and ambitions of Los Angeles.

Outcome Startup pace and product judgment, applied to LA enterprise work.
Why · 03

Startup speed, without the fragility

Aegis AI, our patent-pending production suite, keeps the cadence fast and the defect rate at zero — so you get a startup's pace with an enterprise's reliability. See how we think about human-led AI.

Outcome Twice-weekly releases, zero critical defects — startup pace, held.
Why · 04

A local team that backs yours

Built to back your team rather than replace it — local Los Angeles collaboration, on-site, hybrid, or remote, with our wider AI development services behind every engagement.

Outcome Capacity and senior depth, embedded — your team owns the result.

Local case · 12-month live data

A Southern California enterprise, shipping twice a week.

BJ's Restaurants — headquartered in Huntington Beach, just down the coast from Los Angeles — runs a demanding 200+ location production environment where reliability affects customers, revenue, and brand trust. With Aegis AI, the team moved from slow releases to twice-weekly production with zero critical defects for the past year. It is the kind of local, enterprise-scale proof you can ask any Los Angeles software company for — and the full story is on the Aegis AI page.

The partner who owns
the outcome.

Silicon Prime is a rare thing in enterprise software: a founder-led lab, born out of Stanford in Palo Alto, that brings Silicon Valley startup expertise to Los Angeles. Founder-led means the people who set the standard are still in the work — the difference between a partner who owns the outcome and a vendor who staffs a ticket queue.

That standard runs through Aegis AI, our patent-pending production suite and the engine behind twice-weekly releases with zero critical defects across a 200+ location enterprise — and through every LA engagement we take. We build custom software, generative AI, modernization, APIs, and DevOps, governed for risk and built to back your team, not replace it.

Startup speed with enterprise reliability — from our LA office or yours.
