Descriptiontext

Cactus Code d.o.o. is a small private software development company based in Zagreb, Croatia, founded in 2013 (with consolidated firmographic references to 2016) and operating with approximately six employees. The company combines custom software development services with a proprietary AI-assisted product called Poker Planning AI, which supports agile software development teams in estimating task duration and complexity. The product was implemented under a 2023-2024 EU NPOO Digitalization Voucher grant worth 15,000 EUR (against a 25,000 EUR total project value), positioning it as a niche tooling play within the broader portfolio of professional services engagements.

Revenue is generated through project-based software development services and consulting, with no publicly disclosed pricing and direct client engagement via the company website. The target customer segment is software development companies seeking agile estimation tooling and experienced development capacity. There are no named enterprise logos, no disclosed recurring revenue, and no institutional or venture capital backing; the only external funding on record is the EU grant.

In 2025, Cactus Code merged with Rapid River Software to form Tight Line, consolidating two experienced development teams. The original Cactus Code entity is effectively subsumed, with the website now redirecting attention to the combined Tight Line business. The company is registered in Croatia as a private limited liability company (d.o.o.) with 20,000 HRK fully paid share capital, and Filip Kapusta is the person authorized to represent the entity.
