No pitching, no RFP theatre
You are not competing against ten anonymous bidders on price. We shortlist on fit, then bring one recommendation to the client with your name on it.
For development studios
Scoped work. No sales cycle.
We do the discovery, write the requirements and manage the client relationship. You get a brief that can actually be estimated, a client who has already approved it, and money that is already in escrow.
Apply to the network Studios and agencies only. We do not place individual freelancers.
01 — Why it is worth it
What you stop dealing with.
Briefs you can estimate
Feature scope, integrations, assumptions, risks and exclusions — already written and already approved by the client. No estimating against a paragraph.
Escrow protects you too
The milestone is funded before you start it. No chasing invoices, no working three weeks into an unpaid balance, no client disappearing at acceptance.
A client buffer that works
Scope debates, expectation management and change requests come through our delivery manager. Your engineers stay on engineering.
02 — The five gates
The bar is deliberately high.
It has to be — our whole promise to clients is that we know who we are placing work with. Expect two to three weeks and a technical conversation with your leads, not your sales team.
- G1
Delivered work, reviewed by us
Two or three shipped projects in the domain you claim, with references we can call.
- G2
Named engineers on the bench
People who exist today, not a team you would hire once the contract is signed.
- G3
A technical interview
Architecture decisions, code review practice, QA process and how you handle a scope dispute.
- G4
Our commercial terms, accepted
Escrow, milestone acceptance criteria, client IP ownership and no onward subcontracting.
- G5
Continuous scoring
Every milestone is rated by the delivery manager and the client. Consistently low scores remove you from matching.
03 — Commercials
Stated up front, not discovered later.
- Placement commission
- A percentage of the contract value, agreed in the partner agreement before the first brief reaches you. It is the same rate for every partner and it does not change per project.
- Payment on acceptance
- Escrow releases per milestone once the acceptance criteria are met. Those criteria are written before the milestone starts, so acceptance is a checklist rather than an opinion.
- Client IP, no exceptions
- Code and IP are assigned to the client. You keep your internal libraries and tooling; you do not keep leverage over their product.
- No onward subcontracting
- The team we interviewed is the team that delivers. Additions are fine — they get introduced and recorded first.
