A product studio, not an agency
Quince con Ochenta is neither a traditional agency nor a software factory. It is a space to create, launch and grow our own digital products, from specialised tools to apps and SaaS. When we take on a custom software project, we treat it the same way: as if it were ours.
It is a small, stable team. The founders lead every project from start to finish, so you always talk to the people who build.

A catalogue, like a record label
Every product gets a permanent catalogue number, as in a record label, and we only launch what has a reason to exist. 001 is Gobrador, a public tender intelligence SaaS now in production. New SaaS products and AI implementations are in development — still unnamed, because first they have to prove they deserve one.

What we build for others
- SaaS development: from MVP to production platform, with subscriptions and integrations.
- Web and mobile apps: fast, accessible and easy to maintain.
- Artificial intelligence: agents, assistants and automations connected to your data.
- Product design: discovery, prototypes, UX/UI and design systems.
How we work
Observe, ask, build, discover, evolve: look closely at problems others take for granted, ask the uncomfortable question before writing a line of code, test ideas by building, listen to what the product says when real people use it, and change course when a better opportunity appears. The same method applies to our products and to our clients'.
Why “quince con ochenta”?
The name comes from a scene in the Spanish sitcom La que se avecina that has stayed with us for years: an apparently absurd reference that says a lot about how we work — technically ambitious projects, done with rigour and without solemnity. The 15/80 symbol works as a signature and a stamp.
From the Canary Islands
We work in person with companies in Gran Canaria and the rest of the islands, and remotely with teams across Spain. Building from the Canaries gives us perspective, focus and a time zone that overlaps with both Europe and the Americas.
