QUANT LAB USA Launches Custom Software & Cybersecurity Firm in Macon, Georgia

MACON, Ga. — November 9, 2024 — For immediate release

QUANT LAB USA INC — a Macon, Georgia-based custom software development and cybersecurity firm — officially opened for business today, founded by principal engineer Bill Beltz to serve founders and operators who have outgrown off-the-shelf SaaS and need software built specifically for the way their business actually runs.

The firm operates as a Georgia C-Corporation (Georgia Secretary of State filing #26086454, EIN 42-2039870) and is headquartered in Macon's downtown business corridor. From day one, QUANT LAB USA serves clients both locally and remotely through a delivery model that combines fixed-fee MVP builds with dedicated retainer engagements for ongoing work — a structure designed for small- and mid-market founders who need predictable budgets and senior-engineering quality.

The launch positions QUANT LAB USA at the intersection of two markets that have historically been served separately: production-grade application development (web platforms, CRMs, Stripe-integrated billing, algorithmic trading systems, internal portals) and offensive-security work (web application penetration testing, network and Active Directory assessments, MITRE ATT&CK-aligned reporting). Most clients, Beltz observes, need both — and the firm is structured to ship the build and harden it in the same engagement.

QUANT LAB USA enters the market with a published engagement model, transparent pricing ranges for each service line, a verified Google Business Profile, and a five-star verified Google review from its first engagement. The firm has confirmed engagements in custom CRM development, Stripe Connect integrations for marketplaces with deposit-on-hold workflows, HIPAA-aware internal portal development, and web application penetration testing for SaaS startups preparing for SOC 2 audits.

The firm's positioning is deliberately non-traditional. Where most software consultancies target enterprise budgets and bury pricing behind sales-team intake, QUANT LAB USA publishes service ranges directly on the site, runs a public cost calculator for each major service line — including a build-vs-buy calculator, Stripe cost calculator, CRM ROI calculator, and penetration test cost calculator — and offers a free 30-minute founder-direct consultation to qualify projects before any proposal.

QUANT LAB USA initially serves clients in Macon and the broader Southeast — including Atlanta, Savannah, Columbus, and Augusta — with a remote-first model that allows engagements anywhere in the contiguous United States.

Founder statement

I started QUANT LAB USA because I kept watching small and mid-market operators get quoted six-figure SaaS bills for software that solved 70% of their problem and actively got in the way for the other 30%. There is a real gap between "Squarespace template" and "enterprise six-month discovery phase" — and that gap is where most growing companies actually live. The brief I get over and over is the same: I have a real business, real revenue, real ops complexity, and I need software that fits, not software I fit to.

Macon is the right place to do this work. The cost structure lets us do senior-engineer-led builds at prices that make sense for a regional founder, the talent pool is real, and the Southeast has a level of straightforwardness in client relationships that I have not found in the coastal hub markets. We will be opinionated about scope, transparent about price, and explicit about what we will not take on. If that lands, we will earn the work.
