Build Anything

Technical co-founders for startups.
Strategic partners for enterprise.

About

Haystack is lead by Nicolas Kline, Owen Rauckman, and years of dreaming big.

We always had big ambitions, and having families helped us realize life's too short not to chase them. Nothing beats the flexibility to be present for family moments or take spontaneous adventures on a random Tuesday afternoon.

Owen codes full-stack with a focus on frontend and design. Nic architects systems and handles backend development. Owen brings both technical depth and an eye for good design, while Nic builds efficient, rock-solid systems. When we're not coding, you'll find Nic coaching soccer and Owen out on a run.

We've worked at both startups and large enterprises, so we know how to navigate different company cultures. For bigger projects, we bring in our talented developer friends - you get access to a whole network of great people. Above all, we believe in doing the right thing, even when it's harder. Our integrity comes first, always.
