Dedicated team, brand preserved
Engineering capacity that scales faster than hiring
You raised capital. You need to ship faster than your hiring pipeline allows. IQ Source integrates as an extension of your team, under your brand, on a monthly retainer.

Backed by
We’re founders too.
We’ve co-founded four companies: impaKt Sales, AppSourcing, SalesMachine.tech, and Word Magic Software. We know what keeps your startup alive is sales and capital, let us handle the tech.
Why this model fits funded startups
-
Capacity without adding payroll
Immediate capacity without dilution, cost, or months of hiring. The team works as yours from day one, no extended onboarding.
-
High LTV, low switching cost
Once integrated, switching cost is high for you, and compound value for us. We build a relationship, not a transaction.
-
Founder and operator network
IQ Source's partners operate in the Ulúa VC ecosystem and other investment circles. When you need perspective beyond code, it's available.
How we work
- Monthly retainer
- $2K–$5K+/mo depending on capacity. Monthly billing with deliverables every two weeks. No hourly invoicing.
- 3-month minimum
- Enough time to deliver real value without tying your hands. After that: month-to-month with 30 days notice.
- Under your brand
- The team shows up as your team to your investors, customers, and candidates. We don't subcontract visibly.

"Beyond strong technical execution, they truly felt like collaborative partners in building the product. I would highly recommend them to any startup looking for a reliable, communicative, and highly capable development team."
We’re picky. Deliberately.
Honesty about where we don't add value:
-
Pre-seed startups without clear runway, the retainer model commoditizes the engagement.
-
Companies that need closed-scope project work at fixed price, incompatible with the monthly billing discipline of the Sales Playbook.
-
Startups whose core product is the same as our delivery capability, competitive conflict; better routed to consulting (Model 1).
