Dedicated development team · San Diego

We reply within one business day.
We talk through your product, roadmap, current team and stack, and agree on the roles you need first.
We propose people with matching experience. You meet them before they start.
The team gets access to your code, tools and documentation, and ships a first small change in the first weeks.
Two-week sprints, a shared board, demos and a short weekly report on progress, risks and hours.
Add or remove roles with notice as your roadmap changes. No long hiring cycles on your side.
Most teams start with two to four people and grow from there. Every role works on your product only.
Web apps, APIs, databases and integrations in the stack you already use or the one we recommend.
iOS, Android, React Native or Flutter developers who can work alongside your web team.
Manual and automated testing, so releases do not depend on developers checking their own work.
Flows, screens and a design system that the developers can build from directly.
Keeps the backlog, sprints and reporting in order, so you spend minutes, not hours, managing the team.
Cloud setup, CI/CD, monitoring and cost control, part time or full time as needed.
Each option has a place. This is how they compare for a product that needs steady work over months or years.
| Criteria | Dedicated team | In-house hiring | Freelancers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to start | Weeks | Months per role | Days to weeks |
| Focus on your product | Full time | Full time | Often split across clients |
| Hiring and HR work | Handled by us | Yours | Yours, for each person |
| Scaling up or down | Monthly, with notice | Slow and costly | Fast, but hard to keep people |
| QA, design, management | Included as roles | Separate hires | You coordinate it |
| Knowledge retention | Team stays, documentation is part of the work | Strong while people stay | Leaves with each freelancer |
Fixed-scope contracts break when priorities shift every month. A dedicated team simply picks up the next item in the backlog.
Local hiring for senior developers can take months per role. A team lets you keep shipping while you build your own staff.
Software that customers use every day needs steady work on fixes, updates and features, not a one-time build.
One person rarely covers web, mobile, QA and DevOps. A team gives you each skill at the level of time you need.
Tell us your stack, roadmap and the roles you need. We will reply within one business day with a proposed team.
