# From Custom to Repeatable: Productize Your Dev Studio

Description Most dev studios grow the same way: more people, bigger projects, repeat. It works – until AI reshapes delivery economics, clients start to rethink what they're paying for, and you realise your business is worth exactly what you and your team personally put into it every day. There's a better way to grow. It needs a fundamental shift in how your studio operates across strategy, sales, marketing and delivery, but can make your company more resilient, more profitable, and harder to commoditise. One where: your margins improve as you scale, your team delivers using AI at its best, you're building your own IP and systems that compound over time, and the business has a solid exit value whether you want to keep it forever or eventually sell one day. In this talk, Edita will cover why productizing as a concept is more relevant than ever and what building a productized software house actually means in 2026. Edita will also share what's changed after the latest wave of AI capabilities hitting the market, how EU and US software companies are responding to the disruption of the custom development space, and stories from studios already making this shift. No fluff, no theory, just tips on how to make your company scalable, investment-ready, and sellable. Key takeaways Scalable and sellable are the same thing — the same four weaknesses block both The real spectrum of options goes far beyond “services vs SaaS”  Studios that added a product outgrow service-only peers by 10-20x over a decade  Dev studios already have moats most startups lack — the work is structuring them​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Speaker Founder & CEO @ Terzos Founder and CEO of Terzos, which aims to help dev studios get beyond the standard project-to-project business.
