Deploy Pre-Built Product Teams in 14 Days, Ship 40% Faster
Skip the 6-month hiring marathon. Skip coordinating 4 Upwork contractors. Get an integrated team that ships features.
Get Matched With Pre-Vetted Talent Within 48 Hours.
The Team Scaling Trap
You hire 1 developer. 3 months later, they're productive. You need 3 more. The cycle repeats. Features slip. Competitors ship.
That hiring treadmill just cost you two product launches and $200K in lost opportunity.
Traditional team building worked when time-to-market wasn’t competitive. Today’s leaders deploy integrated product pods that work as a unit from day one, understand each other’s strengths, and ship features 40% faster than disconnected contractors.
It's not staff augmentation. It's a complete product team that ships features from week one.
From Coordination Chaos to Integrated Teams That Execute
Modern companies deploy product pods, not individual contractors.
At Pendoah, we build pre-integrated product pods with Designer + 2 Engineers + PM working as a cohesive unit. They’ve shipped together before. They understand each other’s workflow. You get a team that executes, not individuals you have to coordinate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can’t see what you are looking for? Our specialists are ready to answer your burning questions.
How is a product pod different from staff augmentation?
Staff aug gives you individual contractors you must coordinate. Product pods give you an integrated team with a PM who manages them. You focus on product direction, not coordination.
What if I need to scale up or down?
Pods are flexible. Add a second pod for parallel work. Scale down to part-time. Pause between feature cycles. No hiring or firing process required.
How do you select the team for my pod?
We review your tech stack, product complexity, and timeline. Then we assemble a pod with complementary skills and proven collaboration history. You approve the team before deployment.
What happens if one pod member doesn't work out?
Can I convert pod members to full-time employees?
Yes. Many clients convert pod members to full-time after 6-12 months. We facilitate the transition with no placement fees.
How do pods integrate with my existing team?
What's the minimum engagement period?
