Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about hiring startup developers

Can I hire a developer part-time while we are pre-revenue?

Absolutely. Many of our startup clients begin with 10-20 hours per week and scale up as they secure funding or gain traction. We offer flexible arrangements including deferred compensation and equity options for qualifying startups.

Do you work with pre-funding startups?

Yes. We have worked with hundreds of pre-seed startups. We offer special pricing for pre-funding companies and can structure engagements with equity components. We understand bootstrapped budgets and can help you maximize every dollar.

How do you handle equity compensation?

We are open to hybrid cash plus equity arrangements for the right opportunities. Typical structures involve 50-70% cash and equity grants between 0.1-1% depending on stage, role, and commitment level. We use standard SAFE or option agreements.

What is the minimum engagement period?

No long-term commitment required. We can start with a 2-week trial project to validate fit. Most startup clients engage month-to-month with 2-week notice periods, giving you maximum flexibility as you navigate growth and fundraising.
