Why it matters now

In the age of AI, speed is the moat.

Your founders compete with teams shipping weekly with AI in the loop. The bottleneck is no longer the idea; it is senior engineering capacity, available now.

01

Runway is measured in shipped weeks

A seed round buys about eighteen months. Four of them spent recruiting a senior engineer is a quarter of the runway gone before the first commit.

02

AI multiplies the right engineers

Our engineers use agents, code review bots and evals every day. In senior hands that compresses weeks into days; in junior hands it compresses mistakes.

03

They work inside your system

Your repo, your board, your standups, your review rules. No parallel process, no hand-off layer, no separate agency workflow to manage.

That saving pays for about 6.3 more months of a senior engineer: runway a founder spends on shipping, not hiring.

Security and trust

Employees, not freelancers.

A portfolio company's code, data and roadmap are its most valuable assets. They should never sit with an anonymous contractor from a gig platform.

Employees, not contractors

Every engineer is a full-time Dataspecc employee, hired, paid and managed by us. Nobody is sourced from a freelance platform or subcontracted out.

NDAs with every employee

Confidentiality and IP assignment are part of every employment contract, signed before anyone touches a client system.

One agreement, one company

Your startup signs an MSA and a mutual NDA with Dataspecc. One legal counterparty is accountable for every engineer we place.

Your IP from the first commit

Code lives in your organisation and infrastructure in your cloud account. Access runs through your accounts and is removed the day an engagement ends.

Onboarding

Intro to pushing code in fourteen days.

Every engineer is technically vetted in code by our own staff engineers before they join the bench, so there is no sourcing step to wait on.

DAY 0

Portfolio intro

The fund makes the intro, or the founder names the fund on the form. Thirty minutes with an engineer on the role and the stack.

DAY 3

Matched profiles

Two to four senior engineers with code samples, availability and the partner rate already applied.

DAY 4–8

Your interviews

The founder or CTO runs their own loop. We do not gate it, and you meet the person who starts.

DAY 9–11

Agreements and access

MSA and mutual NDA signed, then repo, board, Slack and cloud access through your own accounts.

DAY 12–14

Pushing code

In your standup and your sprint, with the first pull request up for review inside two weeks.

Client testimonial

Six years in, and Frederick Fox is still adding engineers

“Over the years, though, we've just developed so much trust… they almost feel like business partners… I hope to be in business with these guys forever.”

William describes a relationship that began in 2020 with a website and email setup for a one-person firm, and grew into custom development, workflow automation and Ruby, the platform his team now runs on. Frederick Fox has since placed Dataspecc engineers with its own customers.
