About Us

Engineering Partner for Ambitious Startups

Haynes Lab is a software engineering consultancy that helps startups go from idea to launch. We specialize in building MVPs that get funded and products that scale.

Our Story

Haynes Lab was founded with a simple mission: help startups build great products without the overhead of a full-time engineering team.

We've been in the trenches—scaling products from zero to millions of users, leading engineering teams, and helping founders raise millions in funding. We know what it takes to build software that works, and we bring that experience to every project.

Based in the US, we work with startups globally who need to move fast without sacrificing quality. Whether you're building your first MVP or scaling your existing product, we're here to help.

Founder & CTO

Daniel Haynes

I started haynes lab to give founders the kind of senior technical partner that usually arrives after the first rewrite.

For 13+ years, I have built and led software across SaaS, mobile, AI, connected hardware, and internal operations. The work ranges from taking a product from a deck to its first paying users to stabilizing an existing platform before the next hiring or fundraising stage.

Clients work directly with the person making the architecture decisions and reviewing the code. There is no account-management layer between the business problem and the engineer responsible for solving it.
