The Process
Here'sExactlyWhatHappensAfterYouSayYes.
Five days from discovery call to production code.
You'll talk to Surbhit, Founder & CEO
Five days of onboarding. Here's every step.
Discovery Call
- •30-minute conversation. No pitch deck. No commitment.
- •We learn your stack and bottleneck, then recommend a crew or tell you we're not the right fit.
A recommended crew composition and a proposed first milestone.
Crew assembly and interviews
- •You interview every single one. No one joins without your approval.
- •Wrong fit? Replaced within 48 hours, no questions asked.
Your approved crew, matched to your stack and ready for Day 3.
Integration into your tools
- •Crew joins your tools: Slack, GitHub, Jira, Linear, whatever you use.
- •They review your codebase, docs, and coding conventions.
An engineering crew in your workflow, working to your standards from day one.
First production commit
- •Production code in your repos. Not a test project. Not a sandbox.
- •Reviewed by your team before it merges.
The first proof your crew ships. Real code, reviewed and merged by Day 5.
Pilot milestone
- •You set the milestone. We deliver it within two weeks.
- •You pay only after it's delivered. Miss it? You don't pay.
A completed milestone. Continue with confidence, or walk away. All code stays yours.
You set the direction. The crew owns the delivery.
Your strategic calls
- Product direction and priorities
- You define what done looks like
- Your coding conventions, set once on Day 4
- Final milestone approval before you pay
The crew's execution layer
- Sprint planning, standups, and retrospectives
- Code reviews, architecture decisions, and quality
- The tech lead handles blockers and technical complexity
- Weekly reports on outcomes, not operations
Every alternative has a catch. Here's how they compare.
Which crew is right for you?
Three patterns that come up on almost every first call.
FOUNDERS & STARTUPS
You're building a product. But coordinating the delivery keeps pulling you away from it.
See how it works →SCALING A TEAM
Your team is fully committed. The roadmap keeps growing. The board wants answers.
See how it works →AGENCIES & STUDIOS
Your team is at capacity. Saying yes to new work means quality takes the hit.
See how it works →Questions we get asked. Answered.
48-hour replacement guarantee. Every engineer is from our vetted engineering organisation, so replacements are ready. No disruption to your engineering team integration, not even a missed sprint.
The tech lead is one of the 3 engineers in your crew — they code AND lead. They own architecture decisions, code-review standards, sprint planning, and delivery accountability. They align with your lead on day one, agree on patterns and conventions, then execute independently within that framework. It's the engine behind first commit in 5 days and full velocity by week two. They're not a PM — they're a hands-on engineering leader who writes code every day.
3 months initial, then month-to-month. It starts with the 2-week paid pilot — you define the milestone, we deliver it, you pay only after. If the pilot doesn't work, you walk away. No long-term lock-in before you've seen the crew ship.
Every engineer comes from HestaBit, our parent engineering organisation. They have worked on real client projects and are vetted for both technical skills and communication. You also interview every engineer before they join your crew.
Yes. 4+ hours of daily overlap with US time zones, full overlap with UK and Middle East. Your crew joins your standups, responds in your Slack, and reviews code same-day.
Yes. Add or remove engineers with 2 weeks notice. Month-to-month after the initial 3 months, no severance, no notice period beyond 30 days. Scale the crew up for a launch, wind down after. The engagement adapts to your pipeline.
You keep everything. All code is in your repos from day one. We provide documentation, knowledge transfer, and a clean handover. Nothing is locked in our systems.
Yes. Mutual NDA signed before any project details are shared, before your codebase is touched, before your roadmap is discussed.
