Your Los Angeles Startup is Fast. Your Design Partner Should Be Faster.

The old agency model is dead for Los Angeles startups. It’s too slow, too expensive, and disconnected from the reality of building a business here.

Why Rubik is the Unfair Advantage for Los Angeles Startups

In a market where investor decisions happen fast, a static slide deck is no longer enough. We specialize in Framer because it provides a critical competitive edge for founders in Los Angeles.

Go Beyond Mockups

Instead of just showing investors flat images, we build high-fidelity, interactive prototypes that feel like a real product. This level of polish is a game-changer in pitches at accelerators like Techstars Los Angeles.

Launch Real Websites, Instantly

Framer allows us to design and launch stunning, production-ready websites with built-in CMS and animations, cutting out the need for a separate development phase. For a Los Angeles startup, this means launching your marketing site in days, not months.

Iterate at Speed

The flexibility of Framer allows us to make changes and push updates in real-time based on user feedback gathered from your target audience in Los Angeles.

A Look Inside the Los Angeles Tech Scene

To build a product that wins here, you have to understand the local DNA.

The raw ambition flowing from UCLA and the intense focus of the Entertainment sector create a unique pressure cooker for innovation.

We see founders grinding in coworking spaces in Santa Monica, trying to solve problems for a demanding local audience.

Your product doesn't just need to be functional; it needs to feel like it belongs in Los Angeles. Our design process is tuned into this local frequency, ensuring your user experience is intuitive to a user from Venice.

Your Journey with Rubik: From Idea to Launch in 4 Steps

1. Define Your Los Angeles MVP (Week 1)

We dive deep into your vision, your target users near the Hollywood Sign, and your business goals. We map out a lean, high-impact MVP scope designed for this market.

2. Asynchronous Design Sprints (Daily Progress)

Your dedicated team begins designing immediately, delivering updates to your Slack channel every 1-2 business days. No wasted time in meetings, just relentless forward motion

3. Real-Time Collaboration & Iteration

Review designs, provide feedback, and watch your product evolve. We give you full visibility without the management overhead.

4. Launch-Ready Handoff

You receive a developer-ready Figma file and a stunning, functional MVP built in Framer, ready to impress investors and win your first users in Los Angeles.
