Fast Five Products

we build and operate complete software products

from a new idea to an operating product in about five sprint-weeks — native iOS + Android, with the complicated, data-intensive cloud backends they need. one team, one architecture, one point of responsibility.

why Fast Five Products?

Fast Five Products was founded after decades of building software systems at enterprise scale — much of that time building with, and inside, startups. today we apply that experience to founder-led companies and emerging products. we build software designed to be owned, operated, and evolved for years — not just demonstrated.

how we build

native mobile, both platforms

Swift/SwiftUI on iOS, Kotlin/Compose on Android — built from a shared, proven template with a test suite, not from a blank project.

backends that carry the complexity

Firebase Authentication and App Check, Data Connect (relational Postgres), cloud functions. full user-account management is a base-build given, not a line item.

the method

template-driven, procedural, AI-driven. AI scales Pete's knowledge and effort — a team that happens to be AI. client builds never start from bare prompts.

mutation CreateUserAssociation(
    $associateUserId: String!
    $associateUserDisplayNameText: String!
    $createDeviceIdentifierstamp: String!
    $createDeviceTimestamp: String!
    $follow: Boolean
    $block: Boolean
    $autoSharePrivateContent: Boolean
) @auth(level: USER_EMAIL_VERIFIED) @transaction {

    # Verify target user exists, prevent self-association,
    # and reject deleted users
    query @check(
        expr: "response.query.target != null && …"
        message: "Target user not found, or …"
    ) {
        target: userAccount(id: $associateUserId) { … }
    }

    # … the guarded insert follows (elided)
}
from the real template: the follow/block write — email-verified users only, transactional, with the authorization guard in the API itself

founded by Pete Maiser

after more than two decades leading and delivering enterprise software — including ten years on a corporate innovation team, working with and inside startups — Pete founded Fast Five Products to apply that experience in focused form: complete software products for founder-led companies, built and operated end-to-end. more on LinkedIn.
