RebelMouse Labs
You're building an AI-native company. We pair you with our agentic workflows platform, senior engineers, and solution architects, the same team that runs RebelMouse infra, so you ship a system, not a demo.
Built on the same workflows powering RebelMouse

Average prototype → prod
The gap
Your prototype works. Your production system doesn't exist yet.
Agentic-native founders have a demo, a Loom, and a waitlist. What they're missing: auth, multitenancy, billing, observability, evals, retries, queues, audit logs, and the team that knows how to wire them up without burning 18 months.
Labs is the shortcut.
What's inside Labs
Three pillars. One production engine.
Pick the pillars you need. Most startups use all three. The magic is they're already integrated.
Agentic Workflows
From rebelmouse-auth, production from day one
- ✓Multi-step workflow orchestration with retries, timeouts, and audit trail
- ✓Auth, sessions, multitenancy and RBAC out of the box
- ✓LLM-agnostic execution layer: Claude, OpenAI, local models
- ✓Observability, evals, and replay built in, with no DIY tooling
Senior Engineers
Embed real super-stars, not contractors
- ✓10+ year senior engineers from the team running our infra
- ✓Full-stack: Python, Go, Node, React, K8s, Postgres, Mongo
- ✓Embedded in your Slack and standups, not a black box
- ✓Spin up or scale down weekly, no 12-month contracts
Solution Architects
Set the system right the first time
- ✓Architecture review and roadmap from day one, no demo debt
- ✓Cost model, scaling plan, and infra blueprint before you build
- ✓Eval strategy: what to measure, how to A/B agentic behavior
- ✓Investor-ready tech narrative, diligence-tested
How it works
Prototype → production in six weeks
No 6-month discovery phase. A solution architect drafts your blueprint in week one, engineers ship against it from week two, and you have something real in production before runway becomes a question.
Discovery call (Day 0)
45-minute working session. We map your agentic stack, identify the production gaps, and confirm Labs is the right fit. No NDA dance, just straight talk.
Architecture blueprint (Week 1)
Solution architect delivers system diagram, data model, infra plan, cost projection, and risk register. You own it whether you continue with Labs or not.
Embedded build (Weeks 2–5)
Senior engineers ship against the blueprint on top of our workflows platform. Daily PRs, weekly demos. Your founders stay focused on customers.
Hand-off + runway (Week 6+)
Production cut-over, runbook, on-call training. Optional ongoing support: dial it up before a launch, down when you've hired in-house.
Real CLI from the workflows platform. Yours from day one.
Who Labs is for
Built for the founders shipping the next wave
Labs isn't an agency. It's a partnership. We take agentic-native seriously because we're building one ourselves.
Pre-seed → Series A
3–25 person teams with a real prototype and paying or piloting customers.
Speed-bound
You need production in weeks because runway and a launch date don't care about your hiring plan.
Agentic-native
LLMs, agents, or autonomous workflows are core to the product, not a chatbot bolted onto a SaaS.
Quality-bound
You'd rather ship something real than something fragile. Production-grade is non-negotiable.
The stack
What you get from day one
The workflows platform that powers RebelMouse is battle-tested, multitenant, observability-first. Not a fork. Not a demo. The real thing.
Runtime
Workflow engine

- · Redis for queues + cache
- · S3-compatible object store
Delivery
Infra & CI/CD
- · Kubernetes on AWS EKS
- · Terraform / Terragrunt baseline
- · GitHub Actions + TeamCity
- · Blue/green + canary built-in
SDKs
Developer surface
- · TypeScript + Python SDKs
- · REST + streaming endpoints
- · MCP server out of the box
- · Webhook + event bus
Why Labs, not an agency
Operators, not consultants
We're a 14-year-old infra team that runs production for major media brands at billion-pageview scale. Labs is the same team, pointed at your problem, on a startup timeline.
- ✓ Skin in the game. Equity-friendly pricing for the right teams. We win when you win.
- ✓ No bench warmers. Every engineer ships against our own infra weekly. No "we'll find someone for you."
- ✓ You own the code. Your repo, your accounts, your call. The platform is a dependency, not a lock-in.
- ✓ Exit strategy built in. Hand-off and runbook so your in-house hires take over cleanly.
Proof
The team behind infrastructure you've already used
Labs is the same RebelMouse engineering org that runs production for global media brands. Same engineers. Same infra. Now pointed at your stack.
Platform uptime, last 12 mo.
The workflows engine has carried high-traffic media operations through breaking-news spikes and product launches.
Median agent step latency
Built for tight loops, so your agents stay snappy even when chained, branching, or hitting external tools.
Infra wasted on rebuilding basics
Auth, billing, queues, observability are already there. Your team writes only the code that's actually unique to you.
FAQ
Questions founders always ask
Are we locked into your platform forever? +
No. The platform is open infrastructure. You can self-host, export workflows, and migrate off if you ever need to. Most teams stay because it's the fastest path, not because they can't leave.
How does pricing work? +
Two parts: platform usage (per-workflow, per-tenant) and team time (weekly retainer for engineers and architects). Equity-friendly arrangements available for the right pre-seed teams.
Can you sign a DPA / SOC 2 paper trail? +
Yes, the platform runs in our SOC 2 Type II environment and supports DPAs, BAAs on request, and self-hosted deployments for regulated workloads.
What if we already have engineers? +
Even better. Labs pairs with your team, so your engineers stay close to the product, ours handle the heavy infra work, and the solution architect keeps both sides aligned.
What does "agentic-native" mean to you? +
Companies where the product behavior is driven by autonomous reasoning, tool-use, or long-running agentic workflows, not just an LLM dropdown on a form. If your moat depends on agents getting smarter over time, you're agentic-native.
