Your product is live and growing, but you have no engineering team.
We become the team.
i-mve grew to 523 companies with us as its technology partner. We plan, build and ship with the founder, and the founder sets the priorities.
Dedicated development team: A team that works only on your product, and that we manage.
You set the priorities. We pick the engineers, run the work and answer for delivery. The team uses AI assistants every day, reviews what they produce, and commits everything to your repository. This is how we have worked with i-mve since 2022.
You’re probably here because…
Why products move to a dedicated team.
You do not have anyone to manage developers day to day.
We manage the work, you steer.
With a dedicated team we own delivery. You tell us what matters this month and we handle tasks, review and releases.
Freelancers come and go, and nobody knows the codebase.
People who stay on your product.
The team works only on your product, so the knowledge builds up instead of walking out the door. Our co-founders are one message away if anything is not working.
A fixed-price build does not fit a product that changes every week.
Capacity, not a fixed scope.
You pay for the team’s time each month and point it at whatever matters most, with updates on Slack twice a week.
What a dedicated team looks like
Sized to your product, not to a template. The mix below is where most teams start.
Engineers on your stack
Full-stack, backend, frontend or mobile engineers, matched to your technology, each working with AI assistants and reviewing what they produce.
See our AI-native engineers page.
A UI/UX designer
Screens and prototypes for new features, approved by you before they are built.
A technical lead
Someone who owns the structure, reviews every pull request and keeps the codebase coherent as the team grows.
An architect, when needed
Brought in for the decisions that are expensive to reverse: data model, boundaries, hosting.
See the architects page.
Security as standard
OWASP Top 10 practices, two-factor login and encryption for sensitive data on everything we build.
Cover across time zones
Our co-founders split working hours so someone senior is available for US, UK and Australian clients.
Teams we run month to month
These clients still work with us on a monthly basis.

We propose the team
The people, the roles and how we would work with you, introduced on a call before you commit.
- Week 1
Onboarding
Slack, your repository and your task board. The team reads the code before changing it, and we agree which AI tools may see your code.
- Ongoing
Plan, build and ship
Your priorities, our delivery. Updates on Slack twice a week and a direct line to the founders.
- Monthly
Resize the team
Add a role, swap one or step back, with notice agreed up front.
- Always
Your code, your repository
Everything is committed to your repositories as it is written, so you can take it in-house whenever you like.
How we price a dedicated team
A monthly rate per engineer, set on a call once we know the roles and the seniority you need. The team is priced as a whole, in writing, before anyone starts.
Dedicated teamMonthly rateEngineers, a designer and a lead, managed by us and working only on your product.
One engineer on your teamMonthly rateYou manage the work. See staff augmentation.
A fixed project insteadFixed quoteFor a defined build with an end date.
Included as standard
- Full-time engineers matched to your stack
- Team management, code review and release handling
- Founder oversight and a direct line to us
- All code committed to your repositories
Not included
- Your own tools and licences (Jira, GitHub seats, etc.)
- Graphic design, video and animation
Add or remove people with the notice we agree at the start. Book a call and we will price the team you describe.
Is a dedicated team right for you?
We’re a good fit if
- You have a live product and a roadmap that keeps moving
- You want one accountable team rather than several freelancers
- You do not have a technical lead, or you want us to lead
- You would rather pay monthly than run a hiring process
We’re probably not if
- You have a one-off project with a fixed end (a fixed-quote build suits better)
- You already have a technical lead and only need extra hands (staff augmentation fits better)
- Requests for new features get reported as bugs so they don’t count as scope

Platform-level reviews of the agency — not cherry-picked project comments.
What I love about Team7 is that they always say: No worries, we can find a solution. This is the mindset of builders, creators, people who do not have fear, the partner you need if you want to excel.
Working with Mo and his team over the past year has been nothing short of exceptional. I was admittedly sceptical about investing such a large amount, but results exceeded every expectation.
Their responsiveness and willingness to take on our challenging task were impressive.
They are amazing and consistently exceed expectations. They go above and beyond what is asked of them and their communication is top notch, so much so that we joke that they never sleep. The best of the best.
Common questions
Straight answers on how a dedicated team works.
Ask us something elseWhat is a dedicated development team?
A group of engineers, usually with a designer and a lead, who work only on your product. You set the priorities. We choose the people, manage the work and take responsibility for delivery, and everything is committed to your repository.
What is the difference from staff augmentation?
With staff augmentation, an engineer joins your team and you manage their work. With a dedicated team, we manage the engineers and own delivery, and you steer the priorities. The monthly rate per engineer is the same either way.
How big does the team need to be?
As small as can deliver your roadmap. Some products need one engineer and a lead, others need a bigger team. We tell you the smallest team that fits on the first call, and you can resize with the notice we agree up front.
Do the engineers use AI tools?
Yes, our engineers work with AI assistants every day and review everything those tools produce. You decide which AI tools may see your code, and we follow that. See our AI-native engineers page for how we handle quality and security.
How much does a dedicated team cost?
Each engineer is priced as a monthly rate that depends on the role and the experience you need, and the team is quoted as a whole in writing. We do not publish a price list. Book a 30-minute call, describe the product, and you get the number. There are no recruitment fees.
What hours does the team work?
We split working hours across the team to overlap with US, UK and Australian clients, and we agree the overlap for your team before anyone starts.
What if it isn’t working out?
Tell Rehan or Nabeel directly. We will talk to the engineer, swap them, or wind down with the notice we agreed.
Who owns the code?
You do. At handover you get the Git repositories and written documentation. There is nothing tying the software back to us, so you can take it to an in-house team whenever you like.
Who will I talk to, and how often?
Rehan, one of our two founders, is your day-to-day contact. You get updates on Slack twice a week and can see the code in your repository at any time. We split working hours between us to cover US, UK and Australian time zones, and we usually reply within an hour, sometimes the next morning.
