Senior engineers on retainer. Context that compounds.

Your engineering team — without the hiring

Stop juggling freelancers and agencies. Get a dedicated team that learns your systems, ships every sprint, and stays as long as you need them. From €4,000/month.

You're growing — your tech capacity isn't

You're growing — your tech capacity isn't

No internal tech team

You don't have developers, and hiring is slow and expensive.

Ad-hoc doesn't scale

Finding freelancers for each project wastes time and context.

Agencies are overkill

You don't need a full project — you need ongoing capacity.

Tools are breaking

Your internal systems need fixes, updates, and improvements.

No one owns tech

Nobody in your company is responsible for technical decisions.

Growing pains

You're scaling but your tools and processes aren't keeping up.

Same engineers, every month, shipping your priorities

Same engineers, every month, shipping your priorities

You get a dedicated team that already knows your codebase, your tools, and your business logic. No re-explaining, no onboarding loops. They pick up where they left off — and the work compounds.
