• Though not in itself a permanent solution, we created https://www.deployee.io to allow startups with extra capacity to contract out their teams to other startups for short or medium term projects. For a new startup, they could contract in a team that has already worked together, and built successful ongoing projects (as opposed to freelance or agencies, which tend to want to deliver the project and then move on). This could also lead to a transition of the team, if the lending startup can no longer support the team.

    On the flip side, a pre-funding startup could use this as a way to bring in really high caliber talent and pay them at market rates, while having them spend the majority of their time initially on contract work and building the new product almost "on the side".
