  • I work at a start up.

    A non-exhaustive list.

    1. Your product will and has to change, as you get in market your customers will ask for different things, you will realize you need different things, things will need fixed. if you/ your team have no ability to make those changes yourself = it will slow you down dramatically and cost you money, both from customers and from having to pay the third party to make changes.

    2. You’re going to get a not great product, $45k is frankly not a lot of money when trying to get tech talent, basically 3-4 months of a good engineers time. You aren’t going to get good engineers working on the project.

    3. The product will be hard to build on top of once you start getting traction. It’ll be built using whatever tech stack the dev shop likes, not what you need for your use case. 90% of cases it will get scrapped completely and need rebuilt.

    Feel free to ask in r/startups, they’ll all tell you the same thing
