Can't hire fast enough
44+ days per hire. Competitors ship features while you are still scheduling multi-round interviews.
Hiring costs are out of control
$210K+ per engineer loaded. $30K+ in recruiter fees — before you even know if they are a long-term fit.
Team overloaded
Your best engineers carry compliance, legacy bugs, AND new features. Something always gives.
Global compliance minefield
Entity setup costs: $15K–$150K+ per country. Misclassification triggers massive back taxes and legal fines.
Burned by contractors
Low code quality, zero accountability, or developers disappearing mid-sprint. Cheap contractors cost more.
Need it built now
You have the product vision and approved budget. Building an internal team takes 6+ months before writing code.
