A small bench. All by the same hand.
“Vetted” is an easy word to put on a website. Here is what it actually means when we say it — the work we do before a team ever sees your brief, and how we keep the bench honest after.
Shipped work, verified
We review production builds the team actually shipped — live URLs, real users — not a slide deck of logos. We confirm they built what they claim.
Code we have read
We look at real repositories: structure, test coverage, security hygiene, how they handle the unglamorous parts. Polish on the surface is not the same as quality underneath.
A supervised first build
Before a team takes founder work through us, we have run at least one engagement with them and stood behind the result. The bench is small on purpose.
Stack and stage fit
We track what each team is genuinely strong at — and where they are not the right call. A match you should not make is a match we will not send.
How they communicate
Responsiveness, clarity, and whether they flag risks early. Most failed builds are communication failures, not technical ones.
Ongoing, not one-time
Vetting is not a badge a team earns once. Teams that slip on quality or responsiveness come off the bench. The introduction is our reputation too.
We protect each team's identity until you accept the discovery call. Top teams do not want their names on public lead-gen boards — a public listing signals a pipeline gap. Discretion is part of how we keep the bench worth being on.
Brief your project. We send the team that fits.
