How we’re different

Not every dev shop works the same way.

Most agencies look alike on the outside. The difference shows up after the contract is signed — in who actually writes your code, who owns it, and what happens when you want to leave.

Typical Dev Agency

Built to keep you billing.

  • Junior bench, senior pitch. A senior engineer joins the sales call; juniors do the build.
  • Account manager in the middle. Your brief reaches the team through a project manager.
  • Locked-in contracts. 3–6 month minimums, scope creep billed as change orders.
  • Code lives with the vendor. IP transfer at the end, if you’re lucky.
  • Pay-by-the-hour incentive. Slower work = bigger invoice.
  • Overhead baked in. Sales team, bench, layers of management — you pay for all of it.
Scaleup Consulting

Built to ship your product.

  • Senior team only. No junior bench. Every engineer on your project ships production code daily.
  • Jayen briefs the team directly. Founder-to-founder, no account-manager telephone game.
  • Two-week paid trial, no lock-in. Walk away after two weeks, or continue — your call.
  • Code is yours from day one. Every commit lands in your repo, under your IP, immediately.
  • Outcome-aligned. We win when your product ships, not when the hours pile up.
  • No bench, no sales overhead. Small senior team — that cost stays out of your invoice.
How it works

From hello to first commit, in 3 steps.

From booking a call to shipping code — here’s the path.

1

30-min call

Talk product, tech stack or roadmap with a senior engineer. No sales pitch — just a working session.

2

2-week paid trial

Senior team starts shipping into your repo. You see the work, not slides — pull requests, not status updates.

3

Continue or walk away

No lock-in. Walk away after week two with everything we built — the codebase is already in your repo.

The team at Scaleup Consulting stands out as the most knowledgeable and gets things done as well as explains the technology. Jayen, the principal at Scaleup, is a true superstar when it comes to our tech stack.

I have worked with numerous developers throughout my businesses, but the team at Scaleup Consulting stands out as the most knowledgeable and gets things done as well as explains the technology. I cannot speak highly enough of their services and professionalism, and they have proven to be a valuable asset to our business.

Our project was relatively unique, requiring either screen share programming or having the team physically present in our office. Jayen, the principal at Scaleup, is a true superstar when it comes to our tech stack, and he demonstrated remarkable efficiency and timeliness in creating and deploying code. Working with him and the Scaleup Consulting team has been a truly positive experience, and I would highly recommend their services to anyone seeking real professional developers for their projects.
