The founder
“I've been building software companies since 2011. Launches, failures, pivots, scaling, acquisitions, exits. That experience is what I bring to every engagement.”
Swaleh Saigal · Founder & CEO
Started Saigal Media in 2011 building iOS and Android apps before either platform had critical mass. Built Getitlive to over three million users and sold it. Built MARL to 100,000+ real estate users and sold it. Built for FIFA, Scotiabank, BRP, Purolator, and Cube Bikes.
Now building AI-powered platforms and enterprise systems for companies that need a technical partner who has already been through what they're facing.

How we work
What we believe.
We build for outcomes
We measure success by what happens after launch — user growth, revenue, acquisition. Not by deliverables shipped.
We push back
If your idea needs challenging, we challenge it. The best client relationships are ones where we've talked you out of something that would have failed.
We own our work
We've built two platforms and sold them. That means we've lived with every architectural decision we made. It changes how we think about code.
We work transparently
Weekly updates. Direct access to the people building. No account managers between you and the engineers.
