Works Best For

Companies in hyperscale mode, ready to own their engineering base.

Your product works, your team is shipping, and the roadmap keeps growing. Renting capacity forever stops making sense - but pausing to build a team from scratch would cost you a year of momentum.

This is the stage where Tequity builds you a team that's actually yours - and hands you the keys when you're ready.

Why This Path

You Shouldn't Have to Start Over

Founders are usually offered 2 bad options at this stage. We built a third.

The Vendor Ceiling

Dev Shops

They sell you a rung or two, then you rebuild in-house from scratch. The people who know your product walk away with the contract.

You outgrow them

The Cold Start

Team-Setup Firms

Entity and payroll players can incorporate and hire - but they've never shipped your product. They arrive as strangers to your codebase.

The Tequity Path

1 Partner, Every Rung

The team that ships your MVP is the same lineage that becomes the team you own. The transition happens with zero context loss.

How It Works

From Our Team to Your Team

4 steps from an embedded partnership to a team you fully own.

01
Blueprint
We map the team you'll own - roles, seniority mix, and leadership - built around the people who already ship your product.
02
Your Entity
Your own company, set up and administered with our support. Legal structure, payroll, and compliance handled.
03
We Recruit & Run
Tequity recruits into your entity and runs day-to-day operations - hiring, HR, payroll, offices - while the team ships without interruption.
04
Take the Keys
When you're ready, full control transfers to you. Your team, your entity, your payroll - and every line of context comes with it.

Zero Context Loss

The team that ships your MVP is the same lineage that becomes the team you own.

Structure

Your entity, your payroll

Recruited and run by Tequity

Testimonials

Founders on Working With Tequity

Pre-Seed to Series B

“We hired Tequity shortly after closing our pre-seed, and since then they've completely taken over our frontend and DevOps work. Typical turnaround is 1 day for critical bug fixes, 7 days for new features, and 6 weeks for entire MVPs. The software we built together is now used by multiple leading American biopharma companies. I recommend Tequity for any startup from angel round through Series B and beyond.”

Dan Freeman

Founder & CTO, TerraFlow

“The best outsourced engineering help you can get. Genuinely talented engineers who deliver on time, take full ownership of the product, and push back on your ideas until they understand why you're building each thing.”

“They helped us audit our product, identify key UX/UI improvement opportunities, and prioritize quick wins that delivered immediate value. The team has been responsive, collaborative, and consistently delivers high-quality work.”

Co-Founder, QuantWheel

“We came in expecting a redesign and got something more useful. Design Labs built us a design system our AI could actually build against, so what we ship stays consistent without us having to think about it. We'd give feedback and see it reflected in the next round, often the same day.”
