What is GitStart?

GitStart is a platform that connects engineering teams with work that needs to be done by aspiring developers all around the world.

We help you build your software faster, and they get experience and monetary compensation for their work. You don’t have to worry about hiring, onboarding, and managing developers, so your team can scale up and down as needed.

We are a mission-driven company that wants to make software development more accessible to everyone, regardless of their background.

What GitStart is not

We are not a staffing or freelancing agency, so we don’t hire developers on your behalf. We are also not trying to get you to hire them, but we would love it if you did, and we won’t charge you for it!

What can I use GitStart for?

There are many ways to use GitStart. Our customers have used us for tackling tech debt, support tickets, and also building entire products from scratch. We’ve built compilers and web apps and even set up this entire website with GitStart.

We can be your entire engineering team if you need us to or an extension of it.

Languages and technologies

Our developers cover 15 languages and frameworks, so we can help you with most projects. This includes React, React Native, Node.js, Python, Django, Ruby on Rails, and many more.

Book a demo through our website or contact our support team if you want to know the latest about developer knowledge of a specific technology.

How GitStart works

In a nutshell, not too different from working with other developers: you assign us tickets with clear requirements, we work on them, and you review and merge the PRs. Except that we’re remote, and you don’t have to worry about hiring, onboarding, and managing developers.

During this process, communication with developers happens either on the PR or in shared communication channels (e.g., Slack, Microsoft Teams, etc.). We also have a dedicated support team to help you with any questions you may have.

How much does it cost?

To learn about our flexible engagement options, book a demo with our team or contact us directly. We’ll provide a tailored solution that aligns with your specific needs and project requirements.

What do I need to get started?

Three things are essential:

  1. A repository in a supported technology
  2. A backlog of work
  3. Strong ownership from someone who can assign work, review and merge PRs

Our developers can work on your tickets from day one, assuming you have an idea of what’s in your roadmap and backlog. We can ship code, but we can’t (yet) guess what you’d like to build next.

Strong ownership of the codebase is essential to the success of any project. You or someone else with technical expertise and authority over the codebase will need to review and merge our PRs in a timely fashion to enjoy the experience.

To get started with GitStart, simply book a demo or contact our team, and we’ll guide you through the process.

See you in PR reviews!
