About LeanGains
We exist to address a common problem: software projects that take too long, cost too much, and deliver less than expected.
Our Mission
LeanGains was founded to address a common problem: software projects that take too long, cost too much, and deliver less than expected.
We operate as a growing digital delivery capability — combining experienced practitioners with modern tooling to help organisations design and build systems that actually fit their needs.
Our focus is simple: reduce waste, improve clarity, and help teams move forward with confidence.
What Guides Us
Clarity over complexity
We believe the best solutions are simple, focused, and easy to understand. We avoid unnecessary features and technical complexity.
Efficiency without shortcuts
We deliver quickly by removing waste from the process, not by cutting corners on quality or maintainability.
Partnership, not just delivery
We work alongside your team to understand your business, not just execute a specification. Your success is our success.
Long-term thinking
We build systems that are maintainable, scalable, and owned by you. No vendor lock-in, no ongoing dependencies.
Who we typically work with
We work with businesses across the UK and the US, spanning multiple sectors.
Startups building or refining core platforms
SMEs outgrowing spreadsheets and manual processes
Organisations modernising legacy systems
Teams that want clarity and control — not buzzwords
How we're different
Many teams can write code. Fewer teams understand how software delivery actually fails.
We've seen the same patterns repeatedly: projects that start with unclear requirements, accumulate unnecessary features, and deliver systems that don't quite fit the business.
Our approach is different. We start by understanding your business, design before building, and deliver systems that do exactly what you need — and no more.
