Hire a full dedicated team for your Canadian product — frontend, backend, mobile, designer, and project manager as one embedded squad. Best for funded startups, scale-ups, and Canadian agencies that need to ship a full product or platform in 3-6 months. Toronto consultancies (Klick, Konrad) quote CAD 200-280/hr per role; our 4-person squad starts at CAD 18,000/month all-in.

A squad already works together — shared Slack history, shared engineering standards, shared CI/CD setup, shared design system. You skip the 2-3 month "team forming" phase. Plus the PM owns delivery, so you do not become the bottleneck for code reviews, design feedback, or sprint planning.
Our embedded PM runs daily standups (your timezone), weekly sprint planning, biweekly retros, and a Friday demo to you. You stay strategic — the PM handles execution. The PM also pulls in our DevOps, security, and senior tech leadership when needed at no extra cost.
Yes. Add a second backend dev for 2 months during a heavy sprint? CAD 4,500-7,500/month extra. Drop the mobile dev once the app ships? Done with 30 days notice. We rebalance the squad to match your roadmap.
Typically 5-10 business days from contract sign. Week 1: kickoff, codebase audit, architecture review, sprint 0 setup (repos, CI/CD, Linear/Jira workspace). Week 2: first sprint kicks off.
30-day exit clause for any reason. We also offer dev swaps within 10 business days if any individual is the wrong fit. We have only had 2 full-squad cancellations in 4 years — both became hourly engagements that are still running.
