What Devcompany Does
A field guide to starting and running a development company — agencies, studios, and consultancies — from first client to a team that ships without you.
Plain-language overviews of structures, registration steps, and the paperwork a new dev shop meets.
Hourly, fixed-bid, retainer, and value pricing compared with real trade-offs for each project type.
How dev shops define scope, handle change requests, and avoid the projects that never end.
When to hire, contractor versus employee trade-offs, and how small shops interview developers.
How development companies actually get work: referrals, niching, and portfolios that convert.
Project cadences, utilization math, and the weekly numbers healthy agencies watch.
How Devcompany Works
Start with the guides on shop types and pricing so you choose a shape for the business deliberately.
Use the client-acquisition playbooks to go from network referrals to a repeatable pipeline.
Apply the hiring and operations guides to build a team that ships when you are not in the room.
About
Devcompany — How software development companies get built Part of the VentureOS network of 20,000+ smart entities, each built to create real value in its vertical. Backed by 63+ specialist agents, shared infrastructure, and a unified economy.
No. Everything here is educational — a map of the territory. For formation, tax, and contract decisions, hire a qualified accountant and lawyer in your jurisdiction.
Most founders profiled here started with side clients first. The guides cover the moonlighting phase, including the conflict-of-interest checks to run before taking a first client.
Roughly: agencies build what clients spec, studios build their own products alongside client work, and consultancies sell judgment more than code. The site maps how each one earns.
