Brains, not just builders
We think like engineers, talk like product managers, and build tools your team will actually use.
Internal Tool Center of Excellence & embedded team support
With 50,000+ hours of experience building internal tools ecosystems with Retool and 80+ clients of all sizes, we know how to build internal tool architecture from the ground up.
We advise on best practices, integrations, and third-party software and build systems that scale with your growth. Our developers embed deeply into your teams to support, build, and advise along the way.
MVP & product development in Retool
Retool is an ideal platform for building functional MVPs fast. Convince investors with a product that works from the very start. Our developers are familiar with the quick turnarounds and high pressure of funding processes and are partners in your product’s success.
DevOps support & Retool instance implementation
Deploying Retool infrastructures on large instances can be a tricky business. Having worked with dozens of Enterprise companies, Bold Tech specializes in DevOps support for complex infrastructures at scale. As experts in advanced Retool architecture, we’re here to support your engineering team every step of the way.
One-off applications & internal tools buildouts, cross-platform
Have a specific project in mind? We’ll advise on the best platforms for your needs and handle the full buildout, from concept to launch. Already have tools in place? We also audit and optimize existing systems to boost speed, usability, and scalability.
Our Process
Our services adapt to your team’s size and stage, but they’re always anchored in four core pillars: strategic advisory, high-value buildouts, permissioning & infrastructure, and team education.
Here's how this might look for different teams:
For Non-technical Teams and SMBs
If you’re seeking more hands-on support, we’re ready to take on greater ownership of your internal tooling environment, translating your ideas into functional, user-friendly applications from backend to frontend.
For Product Founders
We act as both builders and strategic partners, creating MVPs and back office systems that are agile, functional, and ready to evolve with your vision.
For Startups
Our expertise goes beyond rapid delivery; we build tools designed for scale and advise on tech stacks that set you up for long-term, scalable success.
For Enterprise
We work closely with your engineering teams and operate at the intersection of compliance, scale, and complexity. We provide high-level advisory on infrastructure, Retool strategy, and platform-level optimization to ensure your tools are robust, secure, and built for growth.

Frequently asked questions
Got questions? We’ve got answers.
What are internal tools?
Internal tools are the behind-the-scenes apps that power your company’s operations. They’re the dashboards, scripts, and workflow systems your team uses to get work done, not the products your customers see, but the systems that keep everything running smoothly.
Despite their importance, internal tools often fly under the radar in engineering. But when they’re built right, they can be just as impactful as your core product: streamlining critical tasks, reducing friction, and saving your team valuable time.
That’s where we come in. We help you build, refine, and optimize these essential tools, so your engineering resources can stay focused on what matters most.
What does Bold Tech do?
We build internal tools that people want to use. Specifically: fast, secure, beautiful apps built on platforms like Retool, built by a team that knows what “done right” actually means. We’re your internal tooling center of excellence, on call and in context.
Do you only use Retool?
Nope. At Bold Tech, we’re proudly Retool specialists, but we’re not dogmatic. We’ve built workflows with Make, dashboards in Streamlit, and automations in plain old Python. But for most use cases, Retool’s usually the best mix of speed, security, and scale… for now. We are always up-to-date with platforms that compete with and complement Retool.
How fast can we start?
This depends on how prepared you are. If you know what you need, we can usually kick off by the beginning of next month. If you’re still figuring things out, we can help you scope it.
What happens after you build the tool?
Each Bold Tech engagement ends with a clean handoff: we make sure the tool is ready for prime time. If you want to extend the relationship, we offer ongoing retained support or can spin up a new engagement.
