Be your engineering team
You have no engineering function and don't want to build one yet. We are it, and you still decide what gets built.
what it involves
Hiring your first engineers is expensive, slow, and hard to undo. We take the function instead: the people who write the code are the people you talk to, and you stay the one deciding what gets built.
There is no account manager and no project manager in the middle. If you want to know why something is taking longer than expected, you ask the person doing it.
How we charge for it
Usually a dedicated team or a retainer, because the work is continuous. Fixed scope where a piece of it is genuinely fixed. We tell you which one we’d use and why, before you pay anything.
