FORGET EVERYTHING YOU KNOW ABOUT SOFTWARE
OUTSOURCING

We hate outsourcing. Well – we hate bad outsourcing. Cleverbit was founded by former CTOs and CPOs tired of poor delivery, vendor lock-in, and zero accountability. So we did what tech leaders do best - we built a better way. A model that focuses on high performance and prioritises ownership, transparency, and results. The Cleverbit Way.

What we do

High-Performance Software Teams. Yours from Day One

We provide businesses with high-performance software development teams that are made up of seasoned professionals who lead with initiative - scaling your capabilities while applying technology to solve complex business challenges and spark innovation.

We put extraordinary care into building our teams. From hiring to onboarding, we align every engineer to a culture rooted in quality, ownership, and high performance. It’s no surprise that retention at Cleverbit is exceptionally high. We invest in our people - and they stay.

But we also believe in backing up our values with actions. That’s why we reject vendor lock-ins and exit resistance. If you're ever not satisfied, or your needs change, you’re free to take the team with you. No strings attached.

HOW IT WORKS

At Cleverbit, we’re not interested in ticking boxes or filling in seats. It’s time to rethink what software development partnerships should look like.
We believe in building long-term, high-performance teams that fuel innovation and growth.

Step 1

Free Consultation

We start with a no-strings-attached discovery session to understand your business goals, technical challenges, and team dynamics. This is not a sales pitch, it’s a consultancy session – you’ll leave with added value, and we’ll leave knowing whether your business is the right fit.

Step 2

Pilot Team

We assemble a world-class team with an expert leader at the helm aligned with your needs. This leader will become the integration point between your business and the team, making sure they operate as a natural part of the business and don’t need any hand-holding. Our teams are technically exceptional, commercially aware, and relentlessly focused on performance. They don’t behave like outsourced contractors. They operate as a natural extension of your existing or newly formed departments: fully transparent, fully committed, and fully yours. We are not interested in body-leasing – we believe in full integration. Your team works for you, not for us.

Step 3

Expansion

When your pilot team and its leader prove their value - as they often do - growth naturally follows. As your business evolves, we make scaling straightforward. We manage everything on our end so new hires are fully aligned with your existing setup, business goals, and our high-performance culture.

Scaling Up
Step 4

Special Purpose Vehicle (Optional)

Once your engineering unit reaches critical mass - typically around 6 to 10 people - we recommend setting up a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV). Your IP is fully protected from day one, but the SPV provides an added layer of structure that simplifies a future transition of knowledge and people, should you ever choose to walk away. And yes, this means you can leave and take your team with you. We can establish a dedicated SPV on your behalf, ensuring full transparency, clean legal separation, protected assets, and zero vendor lock-in. You get a high-performance unit, future-ready and fully under your control - yours to scale, own, or continue independently, with or without us.

Step 5

Stay or Own - You Decide

Once the team is fully embedded and delivering exceptional results, you have complete flexibility. Stay with us long-term, or buy out the team and bring them in-house. You can choose whether to keep us on board to manage or to fully walk away with your team. No disruption, no risk to your IP, just a smooth transition if and when you're ready.
