™A dedicated team instead of an employee.
You were about to hire one engineer. For about the same budget, get a CTO-led team that ships, covers every skill you need, and never leaves you short-handed.

The problem
Hiring one engineer is slower, riskier and more expensive than it looks.
A single hire takes months to find, costs a recruiting fee, needs a laptop, licences and benefits, and still leaves you with one person's skills and one person's holidays. When they leave, you start again.
Months to hire
Every open role is a quarter of your roadmap on hold.
One person, one skill set
You need backend, mobile, QA and DevOps. One hire gives you one of them.
Single point of failure
Leave, illness or resignation stops delivery.
The offer
Pay for outcomes, not people.
Instead of hiring an individual, you get a proven team led by a CTO. We own the architecture, the people, the tooling and the delivery. You own the product, the roadmap and every line of code.
A CTO on your account
Technical leadership and architecture decisions, not just developers.
The full skill mix
Backend, frontend, mobile, firmware, DevOps and QA as your product needs them.
Continuity built in
We cover leave, turnover and replacements. Your delivery never stops.
AI-native engineering
Our engineers work with the latest AI tooling, included in the price.
Outcome-based milestones
Agreed monthly goals, reported weekly.
First month free

The numbers
68 to 87% less than hiring the same team in-house.
We priced every one of our client teams as if each role were hired in-house in the client's own market, with conservative salaries and mandatory employer costs only. Our clients pay 68 to 87% less. That is before recruiting fees, hiring time and attrition.

How we calculate this
Based on the same roles hired in-house in each client's market (London, New York, Chicago, US national, Dubai) at conservative 2026 salaries, plus mandatory employer costs (UK employer National Insurance and pension, US benefits and payroll taxes, UAE gratuity, insurance and visa). Leadership roles priced as part-time fractional executives. Excludes recruiting fees (typically 20 to 25% of first-year salary), hiring time, attrition and equipment, all of which would increase the in-house cost.

Team shapes
Start small. Grow when you need to.
Every team is led by a CTO and shaped around your product. Typical starting points:
CTO, lead engineer and one or two engineers
For one product that needs to keep shipping.
CTO, lead engineer, three to four engineers and QA
For a product with a real roadmap, across web and mobile.
CTO, product leadership, engineering leads, forward deployed engineers, QA and DevOps
For platforms serving many customers.
Your team grows with you. Our longest-running team grew from a handful of engineers to 17 as the client raised and scaled.

FAQ
Questions we get asked.
What exactly is a dedicated team?
A group of Techanzy engineers who work only on your product, led by a CTO from our side. They work in your tools, follow your roadmap, and report to you weekly.
How is this different from hiring freelancers or an agency?
Freelancers give you individuals, and you manage them. Agencies usually deliver a fixed project and leave. A dedicated team stays with you, is led by a CTO who is accountable for delivery, and covers every skill you need as your product grows.
How quickly can a team start?
Usually within days of agreeing the team proposal, not the months a hire takes.
Who owns the code?
You do, from day one. All code and intellectual property belong to you, and we sign NDAs as standard.
How do you handle security?
Techanzy is certified to ISO 27001 for information security, ISO 9001 for quality and ISO 42001 for AI management.
Who do we contract with?
A Techanzy company in your own jurisdiction. We are registered in the US, UK and UAE, so you contract locally, in your timezone and under your own law.
Can we pay in our own currency?
Yes. We hold multi-currency accounts, so you can pay in your local currency.
What about time zones?
We agree overlap hours at the start and keep to them, with daily updates and a weekly report. We work every day with clients in the US, UK and UAE.
What happens if an engineer leaves or goes on holiday?
That is our problem, not yours. We cover leave and turnover and hand over knowledge within the team, so delivery does not stop.
How does the free first month work?
The team starts on agreed month-one goals. If you are happy at the end of the month, we continue on a monthly basis. If not, you pay nothing for that month.
Can the team grow or shrink?
Yes. Teams grow as your roadmap does. Our longest-running team started with a handful of engineers and grew to 17.
Do you use AI in your engineering?
Yes. Our engineers work with current AI coding tools every day, and the tooling is included. We are also ISO 42001 certified for responsible AI management.
