We provide a senior dedicated product team — for SaaS, Fintech, Web3, GovTech, SportsTech and iGaming companies. No recruiting. No onboarding delays. Full ownership from week one.
The Scaling Bottleneck
Your product roadmap is aggressive, but your hiring pipeline is frozen. Finding, vetting, and onboarding Senior Designers takes 3-5 months. By the time they start, the market has moved on.
The Hiring Gap. Critical features are indefinitely delayed by 3–5 month recruiting cycles.
The "Bad Hire" Risk. If a new hire doesn't fit, you lose 6+ months and budget on replacement.
Scaling Rigidity. You can't easily scale down the team during low-load periods without layoffs.
Talent Turnover. Critical project knowledge is lost whenever a specialist leaves.
How Your Team Works:
Dedicated to you, hosted by us.
Seamless integration.
No isolation.
Scalable capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What roles can be part of the dedicated team?
Most squads combine Product Designers, UI/UX Designers and Front-end Developers — with Design Leads or Tech Leads where needed. We can also include Product Managers, AI Designer or Design Ops profiles if your roadmap requires more strategy and coordination, not just execution.
What is the minimum commitment for a Dedicated Product Team?
The minimum engagement is 6 months. Anything shorter doesn’t give enough time to learn your product, ship meaningful work and measure impact. Most clients stay with us 12–24 months as we become an extension of their internal team.
We are based in the US or UK. Will time zones be a problem?
Not at all. Our teams are structured to ensure at least 4–6 hours of overlap with EST/PST and CET time zones. We attend your daily stand-ups and respond to Slack messages in real time during your morning. Async communication is our superpower — you wake up to progress, not waiting.
Do dedicated team members sign NDAs?
Yes. Every specialist signs a strict NDA before onboarding. We work with Fintech, iGaming and MedTech companies where data security is non-negotiable. All IP rights are transferred to you and our contracts are designed to protect your competitive advantage.
How is a dedicated product team different from freelancers or a regular agency?
Freelancers work in isolation — no backup, inconsistent availability, knowledge loss when they leave. Regular agencies deliver projects and disappear. A dedicated team is embedded in your Slack, Jira and Figma like in-house staff, but without recruiting cycles or HR overhead. You get 7–14 day start vs 3–5 months for in-house, creative and tech mix vs isolated roles, and guaranteed backup vs work stopping when someone quits.
How much does a dedicated product team cost?
Pricing depends on team size and seniority. Core Augmentation (1–2 specialists) starts from a single monthly specialist rate covering salary, taxes, hardware and retention — no hidden OpEx. The Autonomous Squad (3–7 specialists) is scoped per squad configuration. We share exact rates on a discovery call after understanding your roadmap and needs.
What industries does the dedicated team work with?
Our dedicated teams are built for SaaS, Fintech, iGaming, SportsTech, Web3 and GovTech companies. We bring cross-industry expertise — designers and engineers who have shipped betting platforms, trading dashboards, KYC flows and high-load SaaS products. This means no learning curve on your domain from day one.
How does billing work?
Monthly flat fee that covers salary, taxes, hardware and retention — no hidden OpEx. One fixed rate per specialist. You can scale down or cancel the engagement with 30-day notice.
Can we scale the team up or down?
Need to speed up? We add a second designer or developer from our bench in 48 hours. Need to slow down? We adjust team size flexibly. You can start with 1 specialist and scale to a full squad as your product grows.
How does the team integrate into our workflow?
We join your Slack, Jira, Figma and stand-ups, working as if we're in the same room. The team is 100% dedicated to your project, operating as an autonomous unit within your workflow with senior-level maturity and system-first standards.
What team configurations do you offer?
Scenario A is Core Augmentation — 1–2 specialists for founders and leads who need to speed up delivery. Setup: 1 Senior Designer plus Art Director supervision. Scenario B is the Autonomous Squad — 3–7 specialists for scale-ups needing to outsource a full module. Setup: Design Lead, Designers, Dev Team and Tech Lead.
Why is hiring in-house so slow and risky?
Finding, vetting and onboarding Senior Designers takes 3–5 months. By the time they start, the market has moved on. Flatstudio's dedicated team starts in 7–14 days — no recruiting, no onboarding delays, full ownership from week one.
