THE FASTEST ROI IN YOUR BUSINESS RIGHT NOW

AI Automation — Give Your Team Their Time Back.

The best teams aren't bigger — they're smarter. We implement AI workflows that handle the repetitive work so your people can focus on what actually moves the business forward.

Most businesses have 2–3 people spending 40–60 hours a month on work that follows the exact same pattern every time. Emails. Reports. Data entry. Lead research. When you automate that work, you don't lose the people — you get them back. Typical payback period: under 60 days.

What we build:

We don't resell a tool you rent by the seat. Our senior engineers build custom AI workflows on our own Ruby foundation — software your business owns outright, running on your data and wired into the systems you already use. Common starting points:

→ Customer support triage and first-response drafting

→ Data extraction, entry, and reconciliation

→ Internal reporting and dashboard generation

→ Content drafting, editing, and repurposing

→ Invoice processing and expense categorization

→ Lead qualification and CRM enrichment

How it works:

01

We Map Your Workflows

We learn how your team works and identify the 3–5 highest-ROI automation opportunities in your business.

02

We Build It

Custom AI workflows deployed into your existing tools — no rip-and-replace, no new platforms to learn.

03

Your Team Gets Leverage

Your people stop doing robotic work and start doing the work that actually requires a human.

FROM PROMPT TO IPO

AI-Powered Web & Mobile Apps. Built Fast. Built to Scale.

Most agencies assign a project manager, a UX designer, a product manager, and a senior architect before a single line of code gets written. That process takes months and costs a fortune.

We built a different system. Over 30 specialized AI agents handle the work traditionally done by those four roles — discovery, architecture, wireframes, roadmap, task planning, and code execution — in days instead of weeks. A human engineering team supervises, validates, and deploys at every stage.

Every line we ship is token-efficient — easy for agents to write and beautiful for humans to review.

The result: your product ships in weeks, not quarters, at a fraction of traditional agency cost.

What we build:

✓ Full-stack web and mobile apps (SaaS, marketplaces, internal tools)
✓ Native iOS and Android apps
✓ AI features integrated into existing products
✓ API integrations, payment systems, and data pipelines

FROM IDEA TO REVENUE IN DAYS

The RGL Product Pipeline

We take your idea from concept to deployed software — faster than you thought possible.

Before a single line of code gets written, our AI agents do the work most teams skip: competitive research, market analysis, product architecture, UX design, and a full project breakdown — all informed by 25 years of how Jonathan actually builds software.

At every stage, you're in the room. Human review. Real collaboration. Your vision, not ours.

Then we build. Using a proprietary prompt stack built from Jonathan's three decades of engineering instincts, our AI writes code the way he would've written it by hand — except 100x faster.

This isn't an AI experiment. It's a proven system that ships production software — with your fingerprints on every decision.

ALWAYS ON

The 24-Hour Development Cycle

US US team — senior product engineers set direction, architect the system, and review everything that ships
AI AI — writes and tests code 24/7, so your product never stops moving
GL Global talent — engineers around the world monitor the AI's work and collaborate with our team and with you

By the time you wake up, your product has moved forward. Every day.

FOR FOUNDERS WHO NEED A TECHNOLOGY LEADER

Fractional CTO — When You Need More Than a Dev Team.

Some projects need more than code — they need someone in the room making technical decisions, evaluating vendors, presenting to investors, and keeping the engineering team aligned with business goals.

Currently at capacity — join the waitlist to be notified when availability opens up.

Inquire About Fractional CTO Availability

What a Fractional CTO covers:

✓ Technology strategy and roadmap development
✓ Team hiring, mentoring, and process improvement
✓ Vendor evaluation and architecture decisions
✓ Board and investor presentations on technology
✓ Due diligence support for fundraising or acquisition

FOR FOUNDERS MAKING CTO DECISIONS WITHOUT A CTO

Executive Advisory — CTO Judgment on Your Hardest Calls, Every Month.

Not every company needs a CTO in the room. But every founder hits decisions where the wrong call costs a quarter: which build to fund, which hire to make, which vendor to trust, when to rewrite and when to leave it alone. Advisory puts someone who has already made those calls on your side of the table, every month, with his recommendations in writing.

Fractional CTO is waitlisted. Advisory is open now, which means Jonathan’s judgment on your business this month, not next year. One flat retainer, month to month, no hourly meter, so you never hesitate to put the hard question on the table.

Put Jonathan in Your Corner

What you get every month:

1

A forced moment of clarity

You write one page: what shipped, what is stuck, what you are about to decide. It gives you the clarity most founders never make time for, and it puts Jonathan’s full attention on your real problems before the call starts.
2

The homework done before you show up

Jonathan reads your brief against your roadmap, your build, and everything he knows about your business, so the session starts at the hard part instead of the recap.
3

An hour with someone who has made these calls

You and a co-founder or senior leader, by video, same slot every month. He debriefs what happened, pressure-tests what is next, and tells you straight.
4

Recommendations in writing, within two business days

A memo of two pages or less: what he heard, what he recommends, and which decisions are yours. Share it with your board, your team, or your future self.

Jonathan advises. You decide. It stays your company, your call, and your win.

We Focus on AI That Makes You Money — Not Technology That Impresses Developers.

What we don't do:

× Chase shiny new frameworks every 6 months
× Build microservices when a monolith does the job
× Staff projects with junior devs and a senior name on the proposal
× Charge for discovery phases that produce slide decks
× Over-engineer solutions for problems that don't exist yet

What we do instead:

✓ Use a proven tech stack trusted by Shopify, GitHub, and Basecamp
✓ Ship one codebase that runs web, iOS, and Android
✓ Senior engineers do the work — what you see is what you get
✓ Start building in week one, ship usable software in weeks
✓ Spend your budget on AI that creates ROI, not infrastructure complexity
✓ Optimize your infrastructure costs — no lock-in to oversized AWS or GCP bills

Built by Someone Who's Done It at Scale.

I'm Jonathan Spooner — 25+ years building technology products, from platforms processing $1M+ daily to mobile apps reaching billions of users. I've been building software and teams for over 25 years.

Before starting Ruby Growth Labs, I led engineering teams at companies ranging from early-stage startups to public companies. I've hired and mentored hundreds of engineers, navigated every major technology shift from mobile-first to cloud-native to AI, and learned that the best technology decisions are not always the latest craze.

Our team is deliberately small — senior engineers only, no handoffs to junior devs, no account managers between you and the people doing the work. You get direct access to the people building your product.
