Objections & responses
“The studio is closed, so why does this listing exist?”
Response: This listing is a historical record of Karumi's positioning and capabilities. Any partner promotion must reflect that the studio is not currently accepting engagements.
“A boutique studio is too small for our project.”
Response: Karumi historically worked with clients ranging from small creative teams to global organizations under a senior-led model. Scope must still be validated against current availability, which is zero.
“We need offshore staff augmentation rates.”
Response: Karumi was never positioned as a low-cost staff augmentation provider. Buyers seeking that model are not a fit.

About Karumi
Karumi was a boutique software studio that delivered senior iOS, Android, and React Native engineering plus agile consulting to clients ranging from small creative teams to global organizations. The studio operated remote-first from Spain from 2013 to November 2021 under a 'Rock Solid Code' philosophy emphasizing quality, honesty with clients, and care for team mental health. Operations ceased in late 2021 after the team concluded they could no longer hire at competitive senior rates without compromising the studio's quality bar.
