Collaboration Models

Staff Augmentation

Up to 80% of our total revenue
Our developers work as part of customer’s internal technical teams.
Great for fast augmenting delivery capacities
Shared knowledge
Charged per approved timesheets every month

Managed tech team

We dedicate the entire technical team, including the manager who serves a specific mission.
Ideal for customers who need specific capability for their business that is out of their usual modus operandi
Does not require technical management from the customer’s side
The team can be upscaled or downscaled according to the current requirements.

Custom development

We develop and deliver the specific scope of work for a fixed price we announce upfront.
Great to mitigate project risk for specific business domains

Consulting / Interim management

Temporary hands-on help of particular specialists, experienced managers
Good starting point for other cooperation models as we can deeply understand customer’s needs

Technical Recruitment services

We provide customers with the recruitment process we use internally for our purposes.
This is ideal when the customer wants to boost his internal capacities instead of a temporary extension.
Commission based
Sourcing
Retainers recruitment

Who are our customers?

While we are not explicitly limited to such businesses, most of our current customers are:

1# Tech start-ups and scale-ups with 50-200 employees

This is our most common type of customer (>50%). Their business often started as a proof of concept or just an idea of friends and then rapidly grew, either because of external funding or natural business success. These companies typically consist of motivated, hard-working developers with decent tech skills but a lack of experience with technical and product planning. Also, in certain growth phases, they are about to change some technologies they are using to others with which they have only a few (if any) experiences. We typically help those clients with:
Communicating incentives from business executives to the developers
Design a big-picture technical solution based on our previous experience
