The 11b Dev Origin Story

From Infantry to code infantry. We're ex-military folks who got tired of seeing bad software everywhere and decided to do something about it (with surprisingly good results).

How We Got Here

After trading combat boots for code editors, our founder quickly realized the tech world had a serious problem: everyone was building "revolutionary" apps with so many bells and whistles it made the simple things more complicated.

So we took a different approach. Instead of chasing unicorns and disrupting breakfast (seriously, why is everything about disruption?), we build tools that solve real problems for people we actually understand.

Our name "11B" comes from the Infantry military occupational specialty. It means we get stuff done, we don't quit when things get hard, and we actually test our gear before shipping it.

Our Values (No BS Edition)

🎯

Ship Things That Work

We build software people actually use, not demo-ware for investor meetings.

🤝

Humans > Hockey Sticks

We'd rather solve real problems than chase vanity metrics.

🛡️

Actually Maintain Our Code

Revolutionary concept: we stick around after launch day.

🌱

No Fake Urgency

We grow at the speed of good decisions, not investor demands.

What We Actually Do

🚀

SaaS That Doesn't Suck

We build software-as-a-service products that solve real problems, not made-up problems from a whiteboard brainstorming session.

🔌

APIs You'll Actually Use

Our APIs come with documentation that was written by humans, for humans. Novel concept, we know.

🏗️

Custom Work (Sometimes)

For the right partners with the right problems, we'll build custom solutions. No blockchain required.
