FAQs

Yes, but mainly after product-market fit. Dedicated teams are great for scaling, making ongoing changes, and maintaining product quality once your startup is growing.
Common risks include lack of control, communication gaps, and lower code quality. Security issues can also arise if data is shared with vendors that don’t follow proper protection protocols.
Absolutely! It’s because you talk directly with the team. It’s easier to share feedback, resolve issues, and build trust when you’re managing the same team every day.
Scaling is possible but takes time. You need to find and onboard the right people. However, once in place, they integrate well with your processes and can grow with your product.
Yes, that’s the main benefit. Outsourced vendors usually provide project managers, designers, developers, and testers, and they take care of managing the whole dedicated development process.
