Tell us what you need →Why founders choose Skillsemble
Named pros, not anonymous resources.
You see bios, portfolios, track records before you sign. No bait-and-switch.
Senior-led execution.
Each pod includes senior pros (8+ years) who lead and direct. Mid-level pros execute under guidance. Best of both worlds.
Pay as work ships.
A 15% deposit to start, then milestone-tied payments you accept. You see every payment amount in your dashboard before it’s due.
How it works for founders
Intake: Describe your launch
Tell us what you're building, your timeline, and the outcomes you need. Our AI intake assistant guides the conversation in about 20 minutes.
Proposal: We assemble a pod
Within 5 business days, we send a named pod proposal — specific humans with specific portfolios. You approve the team and the milestone schedule before anyone signs anything.
Delivery: Milestone by milestone
Your pod ships the work. You communicate in a dedicated in-platform workspace. Each milestone is invoiced when you accept the deliverable — you only pay as work ships.
What a pod looks like
Example composition for a Standard Launch — a 10-week, 4-person product engagement:
Product Manager
Senior
Leads the pod, owns scope and delivery cadence.
Product Designer
Senior
Sets design direction, owns user experience.
Full-Stack Engineer
Mid-level
Executes under senior guidance. Ships features.
Growth Marketer
Mid-level
Activation, retention, and launch distribution.
Pod composition varies by engagement type and scope. AI Automation pods include AI Engineer, Prompt Engineer, Business Analyst, and Ops Engineer roles.
Example milestone timeline
A Standard Launch (10 weeks) might look like this — with billing tied to each milestone you accept:
| Milestone | Week | Deliverable | Payment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deposit | SOW signing | Engagement kicks off | 15% |
| Milestone 1 | Week 3 | Discovery + architecture | 20% |
| Milestone 2 | Week 6 | Core feature shipped | 30% |
| Milestone 3 | Week 10 | Final delivery + handoff | 35% |
Milestone weights and deliverables are agreed in the SOW and can be adjusted before signing. Total = 100%.
Lean Launch ($50K–$90K, 8 weeks, 3 pros) through Complex Launch ($140K–$200K, 12 weeks, 5 pros). See full pricing →
