We go to great lengths to find & recruit the best developers in the world. Software Co was actually designed from the developer’s perspective first – as a concierge service to find developers interesting work. Since we offer the best developer experience in the world, we are able to recruit the best developers. They come from top schools like MIT, Stanford, and Caltech and tech titans like Google, Facebook, and Pinterest. Many are startup founders too.
Our developers value their anonymity and prefer not to work directly with clients. That is why they’re on Software Co instead of a developer marketplace. We’ve found that adding a product manager between the client and the development team, which often consists of a tech architect, designer, and several developers, makes the process much smoother. Your Product Manager will schedule a kickoff call with you shortly after you pay your deposit. By the time your kickoff call happens, your PM will have constructed a team that is ready to start your project immediately.
We can’t tell you in advance because we don’t match your project with developers until it starts. The match is an intricate process – we want to assemble the perfect team for your project. We wouldn’t want to show our developers a bunch of NDA-protected projects they might not be working on, so we don’t perform a match until clients make their first payment.
No – we don’t match you directly with developers. Instead, we build the optimal team, which may even change over time (if someone gets sick, for example) and you manage that team through a product manager. We aim to provide substantially more value than a matchmaking service.
