You work with the people
doing the work.

Matt Daum and Ashish Datta started Setfive in 2011. We’ve spent the years since helping businesses build products, connect systems, and get repetitive work off their plates.

You can talk to us about the business problem without translating it into technical requirements first. We’ll ask questions, explain the choices, and tell you when there’s a simpler way.

A few things you should know

  • We’ll tell you what we think, even when it means building less.
  • We care about what happens after the demo.
  • We take the work seriously. Ourselves, a little less.

There will probably be a movie reference. Consider this fair warning.
