We started Elite Tech because the IT shops we'd worked at were optimised for billable hours rather than working software. Ten years on, we're still independent, still founder-led, and we plan to keep it that way.
A handful of moments we're proud of. Scroll the rail →
Elite Tech is founded in Bratislava. First client signs within months.
Profitable from year two. No outside investment taken, ever.
First multi-year retainers with operators in SaaS, e-commerce and internal tools.
Permanently distributed working model. Senior staff stay long-term.
We deliberately stayed small. Same senior people, more time per project.
Adopted React Server Components, edge platforms and the new wave of build tooling — quietly, with proofs.
Still independent. Still founder-led. Same answer when you call.
No 80-page proposals. Most engagements move from first call to deployed software in under 30 days.
Two-week diagnostic. We read the codebase, talk to your operators, and write you a candid memo.
Architecture, threat model, runbook, and a delivery plan with named owners. Reviewed in a room.
Small senior team. Demoable software every two weeks, with metrics that match the business case.
We don't hand over a binder and leave. We sit on-call with your team until the system runs itself.
Bad engagements ruin good companies. We turn down work that doesn't fit — sometimes after we've already started, with money back.
Posted on the wall. Mentioned in every retro. Etched on the back of every laptop, more or less literally.
If a decision isn't in the design doc, it didn't happen. Drawings, runbooks, post-mortems — all written, all shared.

You can't write good software for a system you've never been woken up by. We sit on-call with your team after launch.
Direct communication. No project managers, no offshoring layers — you talk to the people building the thing.
We pick tools that will still be supported in ten years. We'll defend every choice; we'll change our mind for a good reason.
Two-year partnerships beat one-off projects. We optimise for the next decade, not the next invoice.
Short, factual answers — how we work, who we are, and where to find us.
