Team Plan – 15 People

The team starts lean, focused on building fast and serving the first 240 clients.

Team Plan – 30 People

At 30 people, the company reaches stable capacity for 350 to 400 clients.
The structure becomes pod-based, with each pod managed by a solutions architect and supported by shared client success and data teams.

Core structure

The founder focuses on growth, culture, and partnerships.
The COO manages daily operations and delivery quality.
Two solutions architects oversee build standards and QA.
Fourteen automation builders handle workflow delivery and maintenance.
Two data and analytics specialists maintain dashboards and alert systems.
