If you're building software, the government will pay you back for a chunk of what you spend on engineering. It's called the R&D tax credit, and most startups either miss it entirely or claim 20-30% less than they're owed because their paperwork doesn't hold up. CodeROI fixes that by pulling the evidence straight from GitHub, so you recover that money as non-dilutive funding without surveys or extra work for your team.

Why work with us

• Get cash back on engineering spend without giving up equity. R&D tax credits can put real money back in the bank, up to $500K a year against payroll taxes even if you're pre-revenue and not yet profitable. Most startups underclaim by 20-30% because their documentation is built on engineer surveys that don't hold up.
• Boost the EBITDA number investors actually look at. Capitalizing engineering work correctly under ASC 350-40 can lift EBITDA 10-20%, which shows up directly in your valuation and your next raise. Your CPA doesn't do this part for you, because it needs engineering data they can't access.
• Built for founders, not paperwork. CodeROI connects to GitHub and pulls the evidence automatically. No surveys, no timesheets, no engineer time spent on "what did you work on in March." Setup takes about an hour.
• Not built on AI, traceable to the commit. When a credit gets examined, you can prove exactly where every dollar came from. That matters more every year as the IRS tightens enforcement.
• We work with your CPA, not instead of them. We capture the evidence layer. Your accountant claims and files. You get the money.
• The earlier you start, the more you capture. Credits don't expire, they bank for up to 20 years until you can use them.
