In the early 2000s we spent all our waking hours working with tech companies in San Francisco - helping them to build products and grow their operations. Time and time again we hit the same issue and learned the same lesson: scaling your engineering team at the pace you’re scaling your business is crazy-hard. And new developers with dreamy skill sets and flawless discipline don’t just appear when you need them. The rise of developer platforms and sweatshops improved access but they also hurt quality and reliability. Somewhere along the way people forgot that exceptional software development, no matter how technical, still requires empathetic teamwork and strong personal relationships. We believe a true partnership is the only viable model for supporting ambitious clients with developer talent. We want to play a real part in the most meaningful, challenging journeys. To build better, bigger products shoulder to shoulder with likeminded people. This is why we only take on a few select clients each quarter, and why we say no if it’s a bad fit. It’s why we - Sofomo’s founding partners, Robert and Piotr - give you our time and expertise from day one instead of hiring more polished salespeople. It’s why we insist on rigorous engineering practices and only bring in world-class developers that we trust deeply - agile experts and specialists across every programming language you’re likely to need. And it’s why we promise to stick around if you want to have us in your planning sessions, channels and stand-ups. We’ll share your vision, your pain and every ounce of our collective expertise. Resources expire, but relationships grow. By approaching your challenges properly as a team we’ll build better, bigger and faster. But most importantly, we’ll achieve things none of us could have done alone and have a lot more fun along the way. Reach out to our Managing Director, Robert at Robert.Hogeboom@sofomo.com.
