# VisibleSeed LLC

> Houston-based technology studio building custom software, automation, AI, and data tools for businesses and non-profits across the United States. Founded by Kevin Trinh. Tagline: "Technology that grows with you."

VisibleSeed is a focused studio that takes on ongoing technical-partner engagements (retainer plus setup). We work with solo founders, small teams, established brands, and non-profits across every industry. Pricing is scoped to each project; retainers typically run from around $50/month up to about $2,500/month, and we explicitly take on non-profit and pro-bono work. We do not list flat prices on the site.

We're known for honesty (we'll tell a client when they don't need to build something), ROI-first scoping, transparent contracts, and 24/7 support with responses under an hour.
