Let's Talk About Your Project or Team
How does it work?
Discovery Call
We meet on Google Meet or Zoom to understand your requirements, whether you need to hire a developer or build a product, and answer any questions about our team and process.
Proposal
You receive a tailored proposal shortly after our call — a developer match for your team or a project estimate. Clear pricing, no hidden costs.
Kickoff
Once you confirm, we finalize the contract and get your developer or project team onboarded. Most engagements kick off within 7 to 14 days.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many engineers does a startup need?
It depends on your stage, product complexity, and how fast you're trying to ship. A seed-stage MVP might need 2–4 engineers. A Series B team scaling aggressively may need 20+. This calculator gives you a tailored answer based on your exact inputs.
What is the right engineering team size for a roadmap?
There's no fixed number. A maintenance roadmap needs fewer engineers. Aggressive feature development or scaling requires significantly more. The calculator adjusts based on your roadmap intensity.
How do I know if my engineering team is too small?
Delayed releases, overloaded engineers, and growing tech debt are common signals. This tool quantifies that gap before those symptoms show up.
How long does it take to hire software engineers?
Hiring one strong engineer can take 30–60 days. Hiring multiple can stretch to 3–5 months. That delay compounds across your roadmap.
