The DeSquad approach to software development
Are you looking for a development team of skilled developers that are more than just yes-men? You found us.
WITHOUT DEVSQUAD
Build on guesses, not validation
Most software development firms skip real user testing as they don’t consider it their concern. That means you could end up investing in a product your target audience doesn’t actually need.
Commit big before seeing results
Many firms hide uncertainty behind long-term, high-cost contracts. If they’re pushing a massive quote upfront, it likely means they don’t have a clear execution plan.
Wait over a year to launch
Agencies often obsess over tech decisions instead of user value. That leads to polished code, but your product stays stuck in development for 12 to 18 months.
Burn budget on endless features
Most firms say yes to every feature request, whether it adds value or not. Their focus is their bottom line. You get a bloated product and a drained budget, leaving little room for actual growth.
WITH DEVSQUAD
Validate your prototype with real users
DevSquad’s strategy process includes rapid prototyping and real user testing. You get actionable feedback early to decide if your product is worth building or needs to change direction.
Stick with flexible monthly billing
Avoid getting locked into expensive contracts. DevSquad uses a month-to-month subscription model that supports your cash flow and keeps your runway intact.
Launch in as little as 3 months
We move fast using proven playbooks and modern frameworks like Laravel and Vue.js. DevSquad helps you build user-validated products quickly and efficiently.
Avoid feature bloat with dual-track agile
Here at DevSquad we use dual-track agile to separate discovery from delivery. New ideas are vetted before development, keeping your product focused and your roadmap clear.

Our process for startup
software development
We kick off every project with a strategic discovery process that's focused on the user.
Step 1
Product Strategy
We lead you through a focused Design Sprint inspired by Google’s product strategy framework. Whether you're launching something new or rebuilding an outdated system, this step helps align your business goals with real user needs and defines the smartest path forward before any design or development begins.
Step 2
Prototyping & Testing
After finalizing the concept for Version 1, our UX/UI designers create a high-fidelity prototype. We gather feedback from both your team and real users to test usability and value. Based on insights, we refine the prototype until it's ready to move into development with confidence.
Step 3
Version 1 Development
With a validated prototype in hand, we move into fast, focused development. We build and launch Version 1 or the first phase of your rebuild quickly, so users can start engaging with core features and provide feedback that guides future improvements and keeps your product on the right path.
Step 4
Continuous Improvement
Once Version 1 is live, we are already working hard on the next sprint: discovery and design. While our team develops validated features, we’re also exploring and refining new ideas. This approach keeps progress steady and focused, so you’re never building blindly or guessing what users want next.
Step 5
Optional Handover & Team Training
If you plan to bring development in-house, we offer structured training to get your internal team up to speed. We guide them on maintaining and updating the product and remain available for questions, making the transition smooth and keeping your software running effectively.
Frequently asked questions about software development services for startups
Freelancers can write code, but they won’t give you a product strategy, vetted process, or cross-functional support. A dedicated team brings product managers, designers, developers, and QA together under one roof. That means faster progress, fewer missteps, and a real plan for growth. You’re not just building software, you’re building a business.
Before hiring an agency, try to get clear on the problem you're solving and who you're solving it for. Product development should start with strategy and user validation. Without that, you're just guessing. At DevSquad, we don’t build until we know the product is worth building. We guide you through the product validation process so you can lean on our optimized playbooks and learn the right way to interview your users.
The best frameworks depend on your goals, but Laravel and Vue.js are smart picks for most startups. They allow fast iteration, clean code, and long-term scalability. Your technology stack should support quick development without sacrificing quality, so you can get to market faster and respond to user feedback with ease.
The cost depends on your product goals and the team required to build a viable product. At DevSquad, you pay a fixed monthly fee based on your Squad size. Squads generally include developers, product managers, QA, and designers. The size of your Squad depends upon what it is you’re trying to achieve, but that will be laid bare after our initial call.
Most startups launch in 3 to 9 months. Timelines vary based on scope, but with our collaborative approach, we move fast without skipping critical steps. You’ll start with a high-fidelity prototype, then build and improve through continuous sprints focused on user feedback, technical quality, and business outcomes.
