How it works

1
Describe it
A few sentences is enough. Attach specs, sketches, schematics, CAD or photos if you have them.
2
Talk it through
Book a 30-minute discovery call on the next page, with times pulled from a real calendar. Peter Sords (Talent Badger) hosts every first call and brings in the specialist.
3
Get a written proposal
Scope, deliverables, timeline and a fixed price for the first piece of work. Accept it online.
4
Kick off
A statement of work and kickoff invoice follow. Work starts when the invoice is paid.

Good to know

Asking costs nothing. Paid work starts only after you accept a written scope.
Every first call is hosted by Talent Badger. We bring the specialist in, and contact details are shared once you accept a proposal here.
The first piece of work is usually small and fixed-price, so you can judge the fit before committing to more.
You own the product-specific work you pay for.
