Our Story
About &Pixels
&Pixels is an SBA-certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business: a design and development studio in Austin. We've built websites, SaaS platforms, and apps since 2010, and the people who pitch your project are the people who build it.
Why &Pixels Started
As a product designer at an agency, Jacob McDaniel was billed out at $120 an hour and paid $20 of it. In 2010 he decided it was time to start his own business. &Pixels still runs on that idea: the senior people doing the work are the people you hire.
SBA-certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business
The U.S. Small Business Administration certifies &Pixels as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB). That means we're at least 51% owned and run by a veteran with a service-connected disability: Jacob McDaniel, who founded &Pixels in 2010. Federal agencies rely on SBA certification for veteran set-aside contracts, and VeteranOwnedBusiness.com lists us as a verified member.

Our Values
Results-Driven
We start every project by writing down the numbers we'll be judged on, then build toward them.
Innovation First
We try new tools on our own products first. Revlr went from first commit to launch in 10 days; you get what worked, not what's trending.
Human-Centered
We test with the people who will actually use the thing, before we build it, not after it ships.
Partnership Mindset
Vendors take a brief and disappear. We do not. Your challenges become our challenges, your wins become our wins, and the team you meet on day one is the team that ships on launch day.
