Custom Software Development Services for Startups with SEOTM

If your ambitions have outgrown boxed solutions, you must consider taking other strides, such as in-house development, custom software development service, or dedicated software development team. SEOTM offers both collaboration models: Custom Software Development for Startups from scratch and Dedicated Team Model (DTM).

As an entrepreneur, you must test your business idea and determine your product value. We will build your minimum viable product (MVP) to validate your established product idea and help create better versions in the future, using customer feedback.

MVP refers to the technique of launching a basic version of software products in stages: creating the first workable version, validating it on the market, collecting post-release feedback, and launching the next versions.

Despite fast unfolding time and reasonable price, the MVP development is a high-quality project. MVP development with SEOTM includes:

Fixed-Price (FP) vs Time&Material (T&M)

Given the nature and scope of your project, you can choose the right cooperation and billing model that will govern the software development for your startup: fixed-price vs. T&M. Many customers go with the FP since it is well-documented and predictable: You set schedule, scope, and budget at the negotiation stage. The FP billing model works better for small projects.

For large-scale non-standard projects, we use a T&M contract that specifies that the project is undefined and open-ended and that an accurate estimate can not be provided. The T&M billing model allows for charging a fixed hourly rate for the labor involved and reimbursements of costs for materials.

You can opt to combine the FP and T&M models.

Dedicated Software Development Team

For large-scale long-term projects, which can expand in the future, you can settle on the hybrid model, widely used in software development – a dedicated software development team (DTM). By hiring DTM, you will have a team of experts hand-selected solely for your startup’s goals. With DTM, you will pay for the number of actual hours worked.

Pros:

• The advantage of a DTM format is its focused approach.
• DTM allows for as much freedom, flexibility, and time as you need to complete your project.
• No worries or extra expenses on hiring, training, paying taxes, bonuses, fixing errors, etc.

Your DTM’s composition depends on your needs but usually consists of a remote project manager, tech lead, software, frontend, backend developers, QA, and testing specialists.

Note: Opting for the DTM is a good idea if your project requires 200 to 400 hours of development time per month.

Which cooperation model to choose?

• If you are accomplishing a one-time project with an unpredictable workload or placing your MVP on the market, but lack the expertise, time, or competencies to move forward, going with the Custom Software Development for Startups service from the very beginning is the best option. SEOTM’s-delivered service enables you to flex and scale.
• The DTM is great when you have outlined clear development plans for the next year or two, and your growing startup requires 200 to 400 hours of development time per month. By hiring a DTM, you’re asking professionals to ensure that somebody is always available to work on your project and get things done better and faster.
