Profitable, but at capacity
Add seats one at a time from cash flow, pay nothing until each person starts, and scale down on 30 days notice.

- Works in your time zone
- $0 until you hire
Sound familiar.
- You’re turning down projects or pushing features back a quarter.
- Every new hire comes out of this month’s cash.
- A local hire would eat the margin you worked for.
For example
Say you’re bootstrapped and profitable, the work is there, and you’re still saying no to some of it. A local hire would eat the margin, and a bad one would eat more.
Add the seat you need most in your satellite office. You pay nothing until the person starts, one invoice a month after that, and there’s no lock-in. When it’s working, add the next.
Growth comes out of the work you were turning down.
What you’d set up.
Every seat is dedicated to your company and never shared. Prices are per person, per month, all-inclusive, and differ by level.
