Commonly asked questions
It comes down to cost and mission-alignment. The cost of hiring a full-time developer often exceeds $100,000 plus benefits, while agency and freelancer business models incentivize continuously billing you for projects and services. They’re not rewarded for solving a problem in 10 minutes if they can convince you it’ll take 10 hours.
Unlike an agency we make money by maximizing our impact, not endlessly billing you for services. So not only do we get you results faster, we do it cheaper, and perfectly aligned with your goal to grow the business - not your bills.
This depends entirely on the needs of the project. For example, if we’re actively developing tooling we might work with your team daily to design, develop, and iterate. On the other hand if we’re in test and observation mode we might check-in with you every two weeks, and if we’re in pause-mode we’ll have quarterly check-ins to make sure we’re up-to-date on your business needs.
Regardless of the project, we’re always available to help as needed - whether it’s to problem solve, advise on a decision, or sip whisky and strategize about your most ambitious ideas.
Our in-house team are experienced technology professionals who specialize in understanding business problems and using technology to solve them. Our vetted external partners are experts in specific fields such as data engineering, web development, data science, UI design, and more, brought in for your project as needed at no extra cost to you.
We work with experienced professionals that prioritize building equity vs maximizing short-term pay. They prefer working towards long term goals and solving tangible challenges, rather than being a highly-paid cog in the machine at Facebook, Google, or Microsoft. We ensure our monthly fee is enough to keep the lights on, and give them an opportunity to build a stake in successful businesses that grow over time.
While you’re welcome to come to us with ideas or projects at any time, in general we prefer to align with the decision-making cadence of your business. So for example, we’ll sit in on your quarterly leadership meeting and act as your CTO to advise on how we might be able to help accelerate your strategic priorities. This way we’re well informed on the business as a whole, enabling us to execute on the best way to achieve growth for the business rather than being focused on a single project.
