For US founders
Working with us from the US.
Pixelperinches is registered in India and builds for founders in the US and the UK. These are the questions US founders, and their accountants and lawyers, ask about that, answered before the first call.

Money
Invoicing and tax.
Quoted and invoiced in USD
Every quote and every invoice is in US dollars, at the prices published on the site, such as $50,000 to $125,000 for a first commercial release. The price guide has every number in one place.
No GST, no sales tax line
Indian GST is not added for clients outside India, and our invoices carry no US sales tax. In place of a W-9, we give you a Form W-8BEN-E for your records. Check with your accountant; this is not tax advice.
How you pay
Bank transfer against each milestone invoice, or the paced monthly invoice on Founder's Path, net 14. Card payment is available if you prefer it.
Data and regulation
Built for the rules your buyers ask about.
Privacy by default
Role-based access, an audit trail on every record that touches a person's data, and retention rules agreed at scoping, not at launch.
Hosting in your accounts
US regions by default, in accounts you control from day one. Hosting, AI usage and third-party services are yours from pilot launch.
Sector rules decided at scoping
FERPA and COPPA for schools and children, HIPAA where there is protected health information, and state privacy law such as California's. Written into discovery, with what each adds to cost and time.
Your data stays yours
Customer data and verified content are yours throughout, on every track, whoever holds the project IP at the time.
Hours, contact and the contract
How the week runs, and what you sign.
The same shape on every track. The agreement is what counts, and we expect your own lawyer to read it.
- Hours that overlap yours. India is nine and a half to ten and a half hours ahead of US Eastern time. Our hours flex so the weekly session lands in your morning, with a shared board in between and working software at every step.
- One named lead. Gaurav reads the application, leads the build and signs the agreement. No account manager in between.
- A written agreement for every engagement. Scope, Build Value or milestones, warranty and IP, fixed before anything starts.
- IP. On Paid Build, yours on payment. On Founder's Path and Customer-Funded Build, held in escrow with the deed of assignment signed at the start. The sample term sheet shows each step.
- Warranty. 30 days for defects after trial-ready acceptance.
- Disputes. Arbitration under SIAC rules, seated in Singapore, as neutral ground. Written into every agreement.
Questions US founders ask
Straight answers.
Are you a US company?
No. Pixelperinches Technologies Private Limited is registered in India, with clients in the UK and the US. SeeMeForMe, a K-12 school platform built for Whole Student Learning, is live in the US.
Can my accountant pay an Indian company?
Yes. Invoices are in USD with no Indian GST and no US sales tax line. In place of a W-9, a foreign company gives a US payer a Form W-8BEN-E, and we provide one. Your accountant will recognise the shape; this page is not tax advice.
What about time zones?
India is nine and a half hours ahead of US Eastern time in summer and ten and a half in winter. Our hours flex to overlap your working day, and most calls with US founders happen in your morning. Decisions are kept to the weekly session so nothing waits overnight by accident.
Where does my data live?
In US hosting regions, in accounts you control from day one, unless your customers need somewhere else. Who needs access to build and support the product is written down in the compliance notes at scoping.
Can you build for schools?
Yes. SeeMeForMe serves US K-12 schools with multi-tenant accounts, multi-factor sign-in and role-based access. FERPA and COPPA are scoped at discovery, along with any state student-privacy law that applies.
Is the build HIPAA compliant?
Only once it has been assessed. If your product handles protected health information, the HIPAA requirements are written into the scope at discovery, with what they add to cost and time. We do not use the label before that.
What if we disagree?
The agreement provides for arbitration under SIAC rules, seated in Singapore, as neutral ground between a US founder and an Indian company. We would rather your lawyer asks about it before signing than after.
Know your market? Find your track, then apply.
Three questions, one recommendation, and a form that already knows your answers. Gaurav reads every application himself.
