One obsession. One focus.

Technical co-founder for AI B2C startups.

AI made products easy to launch and hard to keep. We’re the technical co-founder that builds the ones people return to, and we own the result with you.

The game has changed

#shift-happens. AI arms race.

AI made products easier to launch. It also made them harder to choose.

Users now manage their care, money, and shopping through screens, so every new product gets judged against the best digital experience they’ve ever had. AI raised that bar further. It shortened development cycles, lowered operating costs, and made personalization accessible. But once every competitor gained the same tools, AI stopped being an advantage.

More products now compete for the same users, the same budgets, and the same 24 hours of attention. Supply grew. Demand didn’t.

The pressure in numbers.

The solution

The bar isn’t launching anymore. It’s building product people return to.

Build the product users remember, the kind that converts and keeps compounding, with the right technical co-founder in the seat. Senior judgment, responsibility for the result, with a record you can check.

Who we are

And, who are we?

Reliqio is the technical product partner that builds AI B2C startups people return to.

Why a partner, not a vendor? There’s a saying we like: you only need three people in your life — a good doctor, a good lawyer, and someone who loves you on your worst day. After 14 years of building products, we’d add a fourth. A partner who’s actually in it with you. We built Reliqio to be that fourth person: the technical co-founder for founders like you.

It’s also the work we’d choose even if we didn’t have to. Recognition and money matter, and we won’t pretend otherwise. But the real reason is simpler. We love making things that bring people real value, and we love doing it with founders who want the same.

Our partners are ambitious visionaries in fintech, healthtech, and e-commerce. Together, we refuse to settle for products that try once and never open again.

Retention, Conversion, LTV focus.

We design onboarding and the moments where people usually quit, then keep changing the product until day-30 cohorts stay. Across the products we’ve shipped, that’s meant 3x retention and 3.5x LTV.

Who this is for

Three places we start from.

A hand-drawn wireframe next to the finished skincare app screen

You have the domain, not the product.

You run a business, you know your market cold, and you can see the product that should exist. What you don’t have is anyone to build it, or anyone who can tell you whether it’s buildable.

2 nodody keeps

You have a product nobody keeps.

It launched. People downloaded it. The day-30 numbers are quietly bad, and nobody on the team can tell you why or what to change.

3 vibecoding

You vibecoded it and hit the wall.

There’s a working prototype that impressed everyone in the room. Now it has to survive real users, real data, and real regulation, and that’s a different job than the one that got it built.

Unlocking future digital excellence

Your turn.

Those numbers came from products like yours. Tell us where you are with your AI startup: an idea, a live app that isn’t retaining, or something you built yourself that needs to hold. We’ll tell you what we’d do first and what it would realistically take.

Confidence in every step

Startup shipping phases.

Building a product is a long road, and most founders walk it alone. You won’t. We ship in clear phases — in each one you’ll know what’s happening, what’s next, and who’s responsible. Expect a 2nd opinion when the product deserves one. And once the direction is set, we’re all in.

Digital product discovery

The compass of excellence

Before any product can transform industries, before any vision can become reality, we must first discover. Digital Product Discovery is the essential phase where potential meets precision, where understanding becomes actionable insight. It is the phase that unlocks the path forward, defining not just what you can build, but why and how it should be built for maximum impact. Without discovery and strategy, even the most innovative ideas risk falling flat, as they lack direction, purpose, and vision.

Why is it critical?

A digital product discovery isn’t just about defining the product; it’s about uncovering possibilities. It captures the essence of where you are and where you need to go. By integrating research, insights, and expert strategy, this phase lays the groundwork for a shared vision that unites your team, stakeholders, and end-users. It is the process where ambition aligns with practicality, and ideas meet reality.

Digital product design & UX

Crafting Loyalty Through understanding and Experience

Digital Product Design & UX is where form meets emotion, and every touchpoint is meticulously sculpted to foster loyalty, trust, and satisfaction. It’s a journey that transforms an idea into an immersive experience, where each interaction subtly reinforces the brand, creating an unbreakable bond between product and user. Here, design isn’t just a visual layer; it’s an invitation for users to feel understood and valued, embedding brand loyalty deep within their journey.

Why is it critical?

Design & UX is the lifeblood of user loyalty. It doesn’t merely make a product beautiful; it makes it unforgettable. By shaping how users feel, think, and interact, Digital Product Design creates pathways for user retention, brand awareness, and ultimately, business growth. Without thoughtful design, even the most innovative products risk becoming static, lacking the emotional connection that drives users to return, advocate, and commit.

Digital product development

Digital product management

Strategic orchestration meets precise execution

In the journey from vision to market, Digital Product Management is the heartbeat that keeps the pulse steady and the focus sharp. It’s the ongoing discipline that ensures the product stays aligned with your goals, meets users needs, and progress is clearly communicated. This phase is where ideas are transformed into a product that delivers consistent impact.

Why is it critical for your excellence?

No product completes without visionary leaders, like no battles are won without capable captains.

At Reliqio, we believe that mere management is insufficient and true excellence demands orchestration—a symphony of strategy, expertise, and unwavering dedication. Therefore, each of our bright product leaders guide with purpose, clarity, and respect, empowering team of talents to work collaboratively toward the shared vision. This approach fosters a culture of excellence, accountability, and mutual trust.

For champions who demand excellence, this represents the crucial difference between managing a product and orchestrating a market breakthrough.

Digital product maintenance & partnership

A Legacy of Excellence

True innovation doesn’t end at launch. Digital Product Maintenance & Partnership is the unwavering commitment to evolution and resilience. This stage is where adaptability meets excellence, ensuring your product not only endures but thrives. It’s about refining, mentoring, and supporting—because every premium product deserves a legacy.

Why is it critical?

In a dynamic world, a digital product’s journey extends far beyond its launch. As technology and user needs evolve, maintenance becomes a critical partnership—protecting your investment, refining your product, and sustaining its market impact. Without dedicated maintenance, even the most pioneering products risk stagnation, losing their relevance and effectiveness.

Awards and industry recognition.

Our work is recognized for what it delivers. Products people return to, and the retention, LTV, and conversion that follow.

Best onboarding UX in digital health B2C
SDR

Best onboarding UX in digital health B2C.

SDR's old enrollment was a form people abandoned halfway. We rebuilt it around how members actually think, and they started finishing. Sign-up runs 2.5x faster, support calls dropped 65%, and 91% of members now read what they're signing. Retention doesn't begin after onboarding. It begins inside it.
Best UX for retention & LTV in mental health
MND
MND

Best UX for retention & LTV in mental health.

Therapy happens weekly. Life doesn't. MND fills the 167 hours in between, and patients feel it: retention up 78%, and 91% said they felt more supported between sessions. Patients who stay engaged stay in care, and that's where lifetime value comes from.
Best app in physical therapy
NEU

Best app in physical therapy.

When nothing links one visit to the next, recovery stalls and patients drift. NEU swapped paper charts for an interactive body map that shows progress as it happens, so therapists spend the session with the patient instead of the chart. Program completion tripled. When people can see themselves getting better, they stay to the end.
