Common questions

Things people
always ask.

Do you do equity-only or revenue-share deals?

Rarely, and only for ideas we'd join full-time. Almost all our work is paid in cash.

Can you sign an NDA before we talk?

Yes — happy to. Send one over and we'll turn it around the same day.

What if we want to hire one of you full-time?

It's happened. We have a written process for it. We'd rather you ask than poach quietly.

Do you work with non-technical founders?

Often. We also help you hire your first technical lead so you don't depend on us forever.
